[686.04 --> 690.26] So there's some nice things you can get without having to run a whole back-end infrastructure. |
[691.24 --> 693.26] So what happens when Chris's iPhone isn't there? |
[693.26 --> 701.18] They have this concept of a hub, and it's either the Apple TV or an iPad that you're willing to leave on the LAN, |
[701.68 --> 706.62] probably plugged in, or a HomePod, big or small. |
[706.82 --> 709.90] They can all act as a HomeKit hub. |
[710.10 --> 713.08] It becomes the primary orchestrator of your HomeKit network. |
[713.46 --> 719.16] And if you're comfortable with this, it also will act as the proxy to iCloud. |
[719.16 --> 723.86] So Apple establishes a secure connection between your iPhone and iCloud. |
[724.10 --> 727.42] So when you leave the house, you can pull down that control center, |
[727.66 --> 731.14] and all your devices still work, all their status information still works. |
[731.38 --> 736.30] And when you trigger them, what's happening is a proxied request is being routed through iCloud |
[736.30 --> 739.40] to the HomeKit hub, which in my case is a HomePod. |
[739.70 --> 742.46] And then the HomePod is executing it locally on your LAN. |
[743.88 --> 746.54] Okay, that's pretty legit. |
[746.54 --> 750.28] That's similar to the Nebu Kasa service, right? |
[750.78 --> 755.04] Right, and it's all encrypted between your HomeKit hub and your phone. |
[755.58 --> 757.46] So Apple doesn't have the key to that. |
[758.08 --> 759.02] So that's also another... |
[759.02 --> 763.50] They do have the ability to exchange it, so in theory they could probably intercept it. |
[763.86 --> 768.28] But as far as where the encryption keys are held, it's on your iPhone or your iOS device. |
[768.34 --> 771.04] It could be the watch and the HomeKit hub. |
[771.04 --> 777.22] So how do I add things that don't have HomeKit support to this ecosystem? |
[777.34 --> 777.84] Can I do that? |
[778.54 --> 780.72] I do it through Home Assistant, but we'll get there. |
[781.08 --> 783.76] I wanted to mention HomeBridge. |
[783.90 --> 786.78] HomeBridge is really the way to do this right now for... |
[786.78 --> 788.08] You mentioned LG Televisions. |
[788.34 --> 792.94] Before LG natively supported HomeKit, everyone was doing it with HomeBridge. |
[793.32 --> 796.06] And you could run it like on a Raspberry Pi, and it essentially... |
[796.06 --> 800.86] It'll talk their proprietary API, whatever protocol or service it might be. |
[801.16 --> 804.34] The bridge will talk that, and then it'll translate it to HomeKit. |
[804.74 --> 808.86] So it'll just show up to your iPhone as a HomeKit device. |
[809.04 --> 811.14] But it's really the bridge making that representation. |
[811.78 --> 815.24] And so people were controlling LG Televisions using this bridge, |
[815.68 --> 816.98] and LG got wind of it, and they thought, |
[817.06 --> 820.34] oh, well, maybe we should work with Apple and just build in the HomeKit support. |
[820.44 --> 821.50] And that's how that actually started. |
[822.08 --> 823.38] So I don't need the HomeBridge. |
[823.44 --> 825.20] That's just nice to have. |
[826.06 --> 828.38] Yeah, and you really don't if you're a Home Assistant user. |
[828.72 --> 832.36] But again, if you want to go the route of controlling stuff |
[832.36 --> 834.98] without the whole infrastructure of managing Home Assistant, |
[835.50 --> 838.92] you could use HomeKit to do 90% of what you need. |
[839.30 --> 842.30] And then those random cheap devices that are quote-unquote smart devices |
[842.30 --> 843.92] that are not HomeKit compatible, |
[844.74 --> 848.22] you could run HomeBridge on your Mac or on a Raspberry Pi |
[848.22 --> 850.12] or on a Windows box or a Linux box, |
[850.52 --> 853.14] and you could get that other 10%. |
[853.14 --> 856.52] And it does a bunch of neat stuff that Apple's probably never going to really do, |
[856.66 --> 858.18] you know, as any community builds on. |
[858.56 --> 860.06] So there's some other advantages to HomeBridge. |
[860.36 --> 864.58] It's not necessary unless you want to support non-HomeKit compatible devices. |
[865.70 --> 866.86] Okay, well, thanks for clearing that up. |
[867.10 --> 871.02] The terminology here is so confusing, you know, |
[871.06 --> 873.00] HomeKit and HomeBridge and Home Assistant, |
[873.28 --> 876.32] and it's kind of hard to keep all this stuff straight in your head |
[876.32 --> 877.44] when you're fresh to it. |
[877.44 --> 879.52] So why don't we come back to that in just a second? |
[881.80 --> 883.72] Linode.com slash SSH. |
[883.78 --> 886.68] Go there to get $100 in 60-day credit on a new account, |
[886.84 --> 888.40] and you go there to support the show. |
[888.60 --> 889.48] That's how this works. |
[889.52 --> 891.46] You go there, you support us, we keep on going, |
[891.56 --> 893.88] and it's like the circle of podcasting. |
[894.04 --> 895.30] It's an ecosystem, if you will. |
[895.74 --> 897.24] You know, Linode is how we host everything. |
[897.36 --> 899.70] It's also how I'll do like a quick R&D. |
[899.96 --> 901.68] I want to try out an open source project, |
[901.68 --> 903.74] or I have an idea for something that I want to build. |
[903.74 --> 907.84] I guess back in the day, I'd like get a VM on my local machine, |
[907.96 --> 909.48] but those always kind of suck, |
[909.56 --> 911.16] and not to mention it makes my machine busy, |
[911.32 --> 913.64] and I have to have a certain machine that's always capable of doing that. |
[913.98 --> 916.38] When I flipped to using Linode for this kind of stuff, |
[916.54 --> 919.14] it changed like the kind of hardware I'm buying now. |
[919.48 --> 921.28] It like opened up a whole new door, man. |
[921.58 --> 922.98] It's really pretty great, |
[923.04 --> 925.10] even just for like just research and development. |
[925.54 --> 927.10] And then, of course, you want to flip it to production. |
[927.60 --> 929.82] It's the best place to do that, in my opinion. |
[929.88 --> 931.50] They've got 11 data centers around the world. |
[931.50 --> 933.80] Their machines are screamers, just super fast. |
[934.14 --> 935.50] Lots of distributions to choose from, |
[935.54 --> 938.04] including now images for Rocky Linux and Alma Linux, |
[938.38 --> 940.20] and CentOS Stream, if that's your thing. |
[940.66 --> 944.12] And on top of all of it, a really great user experience. |
[945.04 --> 947.26] Every system over there is a great value, |
[947.68 --> 950.14] great performance, and a nice experience setting it up. |
[950.34 --> 952.50] If you like to do it yourself and build it from the ground up, |
[952.50 --> 954.70] or just deploy an image with something ready to go, |
[954.76 --> 957.80] like say Nextcloud, maybe Discourse or GitLab, |
[958.26 --> 959.84] they've got one-click deployments for that. |
[959.84 --> 962.46] And then I'm often finding that I'm taking advantage |
[962.46 --> 964.56] of their things like S3-compatible object storage |
[964.56 --> 966.66] just by using their command line client, |
[966.86 --> 968.98] or just not even having a machine in between, |
[969.14 --> 970.50] or just using a web interface. |
[970.74 --> 972.58] They have all kinds of nice things like that, |
[973.04 --> 975.30] like a DNS manager that's going to let you get done |
[975.30 --> 976.96] what you need, Kubernetes support, |
