[1455.26 --> 1456.50] But yeah, exactly, exactly. |
[1457.14 --> 1460.44] Also, noteworthy, they've hired two more individuals. |
[1461.56 --> 1464.20] Working on different aspects of Home Assistant, |
[1464.32 --> 1467.12] including one's going to be working on more like YouTube channel stuff |
[1467.12 --> 1469.46] and some Home Assistant front end. |
[1471.22 --> 1472.36] I'll be frank with you. |
[1473.10 --> 1475.88] It's probably the old man in me. |
[1476.58 --> 1479.10] I have been doing internet content for 15 years, |
[1479.24 --> 1483.48] and I never like it when projects directly get into content creation. |
[1483.48 --> 1487.62] There is a space for it in terms of how-tos and guides, |
[1487.62 --> 1490.62] and if they're done correctly, I think they're useful. |
[1491.56 --> 1494.64] But a lot of times it creates an echo chamber. |
[1494.90 --> 1496.42] It's a hard thing to kind of wrap your head around, |
[1496.50 --> 1501.50] but there's a long-term effect when the project sort of becomes the source of the content creation. |
[1501.82 --> 1503.38] It kind of has a knock-on effect, |
[1503.74 --> 1506.98] a kind of an ecosystem effect on the places that cover it, |
[1507.08 --> 1509.26] usually for the negative, unless they get it just right. |
[1509.44 --> 1509.84] We'll see. |
[1509.84 --> 1512.32] It's a weird use of the funds, too, but we'll see. |
[1513.06 --> 1516.96] What if rather than directly putting out content under the Home Assistant brand, |
[1517.70 --> 1523.72] this person almost becomes a consultant for other YouTubers to reach out to directly? |
[1524.32 --> 1526.68] If they want to create a video about a certain topic, |
[1526.88 --> 1528.50] they reach out to this person and say, |
[1529.04 --> 1534.42] how do I have all these sensors average and connect to a thermostat or something like that? |
[1534.58 --> 1538.10] I would just adjust that slightly to just say media outreach, |
[1538.10 --> 1540.26] because you've got a lot of people writing about Home Assistant. |
[1540.42 --> 1542.36] You've got a lot of people podcasting about Home Assistant. |
[1542.96 --> 1545.96] I would open it up beyond, you know what? |
[1546.02 --> 1548.10] Now that you say this, and again, we're talking through this, |
[1548.20 --> 1550.08] it's the limitation on YouTube. |
[1550.58 --> 1554.56] The YouTube community creates a distorted reality of the user base. |
[1554.64 --> 1555.44] It does this to Linux. |
[1555.52 --> 1556.46] It does this for any project. |
[1556.56 --> 1559.86] The YouTube audience doesn't reflect the entire user base. |
[1560.62 --> 1562.82] And so you want to get out to other media outlets as well. |
[1562.82 --> 1565.92] And there's going to be a lot of people as Home Assistant grows, |
[1566.04 --> 1569.18] they're going to want to learn and start writing about it or start podcasting about it. |
[1569.44 --> 1573.44] And so I think if they had somebody who was there to help those people get that stuff right, |
[1573.46 --> 1575.56] because a lot of times what happens is somebody will come along, |
[1575.72 --> 1578.26] they're going to start covering Home Assistant for the first time. |
[1578.58 --> 1579.94] They'll get something wrong. |
[1580.82 --> 1585.46] They won't understand what decision, you know, three years was made. |
[1585.54 --> 1588.36] And so they'll interpret something that happens today and they'll get it wrong. |
[1588.44 --> 1591.12] And they won't have the context because they're still learning. |
[1591.12 --> 1594.94] And that's just what happens and doesn't prevent people from making videos. |
[1595.50 --> 1598.10] And so if there was somebody at Home Assistant that had the time, the bandwidth, |
[1598.36 --> 1604.12] and the skill set to interface with those creatives and help guide them in the right direction, |
[1604.48 --> 1605.48] I could see that being useful. |
[1605.72 --> 1608.54] That could be a good use of time and money. |
[1609.34 --> 1611.86] Now, the other thing we should mention about the subscription price increase |
[1611.86 --> 1617.46] is that those changes don't come into effect for existing accounts for three months. |
[1617.46 --> 1620.26] So you get three months grandfathered in at the old price. |
[1621.12 --> 1623.90] Uh, before things start to go up. |
[1624.34 --> 1627.50] And just the last couple of notes about this Home Assistant release that came out, |
[1627.54 --> 1631.06] along with the announcement, uh, on February 2nd about the price increase. |
[1631.18 --> 1634.50] They now show the size of your backups in the backup view. |
[1634.58 --> 1635.40] That's a nice little tweak. |
[1635.82 --> 1639.06] Apple TV users, the integration has been updated to support OS 15, |
[1639.06 --> 1642.38] and now can also launch apps from Home Assistant. |
[1642.80 --> 1643.00] Ooh. |
[1643.58 --> 1644.90] That sounds kind of cool. |
[1644.90 --> 1647.28] If you think about like some automations or something like, you know, |
[1647.28 --> 1650.78] set up TV time and have it auto-launch Plex or Infuse. |
[1651.30 --> 1653.86] Yeah, because that extra click is real difficult. |
[1654.40 --> 1655.26] Oh, come on! |
[1655.64 --> 1656.28] Come on! |
[1656.32 --> 1659.04] You would be trying it if you hadn't got rid of your Apple TV. |
[1659.22 --> 1659.56] Come on! |
[1659.58 --> 1660.12] Oh, maybe. |
[1660.96 --> 1661.32] Maybe. |
[1661.60 --> 1663.84] I mean, I've been able to do it on the Shield for years, |
[1663.90 --> 1666.06] and I never have, so maybe not. |
[1666.64 --> 1668.76] I'm moving in the new house, Chris. |
[1668.92 --> 1669.70] You know what I'm saying. |
[1669.76 --> 1670.20] That's true. |
[1670.34 --> 1671.42] I do know what you mean. |
[1671.94 --> 1675.08] Google Assistant integration can now be set up to use local fulfillment. |
[1675.44 --> 1675.78] Hey! |
[1676.08 --> 1676.40] Oh! |
[1678.00 --> 1679.86] I am still waiting, though. |
[1680.32 --> 1682.28] I was just telling you before we started the show, |
[1682.40 --> 1687.02] I'm still waiting for updates on the Home Assistant Yellow or Amber |
[1687.02 --> 1688.10] or whatever they want to call it, |
[1688.14 --> 1691.64] and like when we can kind of expect that for those of us who threw some money in. |
[1692.00 --> 1693.86] Because I'm looking at my Home Assistant setup, |
[1693.86 --> 1697.82] and I'm thinking that's probably going to be the time I redo it |
[1697.82 --> 1700.92] is when I get that Home Assistant amber or yellow. |
[1701.64 --> 1705.46] And I'd just love to kind of know what kind of timeline I should be thinking of. |
[1706.36 --> 1708.88] The Home Assistant Burnt Sienna 2042 edition. |
[1709.14 --> 1709.82] That's what it will be. |
[1713.58 --> 1716.00] Talescale.com slash self-hosted. |
[1716.06 --> 1718.70] Go there to get a free personal account for up to 20 devices, |
[1719.14 --> 1720.26] and it supports the show. |
[1720.36 --> 1723.16] Talescale.com slash self-hosted. |
[1723.16 --> 1725.92] I probably don't have to tell you about Talescale, |
[1725.92 --> 1727.98] because you guys probably already know |
[1727.98 --> 1730.10] and just have been waiting for an opportunity to try it out. |
[1730.16 --> 1731.30] Well, this is it. |
[1731.54 --> 1733.54] You can get it set up on any device in minutes, |
[1733.92 --> 1735.02] manage firewall rules, |
