[1566.04 --> 1568.74] Per day with seven days of retention.
[1569.22 --> 1570.24] No credit card required.
[1570.78 --> 1571.26] No trial.
[1571.66 --> 1573.00] You've got that for the long haul.
[1573.40 --> 1577.56] This is perfect for self-hosters who want to ingest their home logs and get a single
[1577.56 --> 1579.54] view of everything happening in their environment.
[1580.50 --> 1582.56] Why have all separate places you have to go look?
[1582.72 --> 1583.46] Why do it that way?
[1583.52 --> 1584.42] That's just making it hard.
[1584.50 --> 1586.26] And when it's your hobby, you want it easy.
[1586.50 --> 1587.06] You want it quick.
[1587.14 --> 1587.70] You want it usable.
[1588.08 --> 1589.52] And you don't want it to be a big old job.
[1589.52 --> 1594.50] So go get started with LogScale Community Edition for free over at CrowdStrike.com slash
[1594.50 --> 1595.46] LCE.
[1595.66 --> 1599.54] That's CrowdStrike.com slash LCE.
[1601.82 --> 1605.32] Last week, I talked about some issues I was having with Zigbee.
[1605.32 --> 1605.40] Zigbee.
[1605.80 --> 1609.26] And we've gotten a lot of feedback.
[1609.68 --> 1611.34] A lot of feedback that was very helpful.
[1611.50 --> 1614.66] I spent the last week sorting my Zigbee issues out.
[1614.72 --> 1616.68] And I'm curious, Wendell, if you've ever had this issue.
[1617.04 --> 1621.18] I really wanted to like Zigbee because I know it's involved with the Matter standard.
[1621.84 --> 1623.72] And so I thought, okay, this is the direction to go.
[1624.10 --> 1626.96] But I have to say a lot of my devices have been dropping off the network.
[1627.38 --> 1628.38] What are your experiences?
[1629.18 --> 1630.82] Yeah, I got a bunch of Zigbee stuff.
[1630.82 --> 1634.42] I set it up and then three days later, there was two things missing.
[1634.50 --> 1635.36] And it's like, you know what?
[1635.68 --> 1636.80] Nope, I'm out.
[1637.14 --> 1637.68] Yeah, exactly.
[1639.26 --> 1639.66] Yeah.
[1640.08 --> 1640.48] Yeah.
[1640.52 --> 1643.64] You know how many times a PIR sensor has dropped out of the alarm panel?
[1644.16 --> 1644.48] Zero.
[1645.68 --> 1646.66] It's like that kind of stuff.
[1646.72 --> 1647.40] It's too critical.
[1647.54 --> 1650.96] I have a water sensor for a very specific spot that I need to watch very closely.
[1651.10 --> 1654.50] And I don't want the sensor just dropping off the network and not alerting me.
[1654.58 --> 1654.70] Yeah.
[1655.20 --> 1660.14] I've even had that problem with Z-Wave, the Z-Wave devices, where like occasionally,
[1660.14 --> 1662.00] it seems more reliable.
[1662.12 --> 1664.12] The Z-Wave stuff seems a little more reliable than Zigbee.
[1664.60 --> 1668.58] But, you know, after a power outage or something weird like that, it's like, oh, look at that.
[1668.66 --> 1671.42] All the garage Zigbee sensors and stuff.
[1672.04 --> 1674.78] And then it's like, okay, let me go flip some breakers on and off.
[1674.82 --> 1676.54] And then I do that and then everything comes back okay.
[1677.44 --> 1677.66] Yeah.
[1678.02 --> 1682.92] I have had a Z-Wave device as well drop off where it was like, okay, I don't know what happened.
[1683.06 --> 1683.92] I'll go reboot it.
[1684.14 --> 1686.42] And when I do restart it, it tends to bounce back.
[1686.42 --> 1690.86] But if I don't notice it's offline, the system's not very good about telling me, right?
[1690.94 --> 1694.88] Home Assistant doesn't make it obvious that something critical has gone offline.
[1695.14 --> 1695.26] Yeah.
[1695.46 --> 1696.06] Yeah, exactly.
[1696.60 --> 1701.46] Meanwhile, the way that the alarm panel is integrated, all of the motion sensors are like,
[1701.52 --> 1703.86] I last saw motion this time.
[1703.96 --> 1705.46] I last saw motion this time.
[1705.64 --> 1710.60] You get constant reassurance that, oh, yeah, everything is connected and working fine and
[1710.60 --> 1711.12] it's good.
[1711.12 --> 1715.80] And you could do that kind of thing with other sensors, but, you know, come on.
[1716.30 --> 1716.38] Yeah.
[1716.66 --> 1720.92] I have these little IKEA, a listener sent me the correct pronunciation.
[1721.74 --> 1722.10] Trodfri.
[1722.64 --> 1726.92] So please, please tell me, Mr. Listener, if I got that right.
[1727.00 --> 1727.92] The Swedish, you know, the trad.
[1727.94 --> 1728.70] Could you say it again?
[1729.12 --> 1729.52] Trodfri.
[1729.94 --> 1730.80] Something like that.
[1730.90 --> 1731.82] I think that's what it is.
[1732.44 --> 1733.42] You know what I mean.
[1733.46 --> 1734.56] The tradfri buttons, right?
[1734.96 --> 1735.62] Trodfri, whatever.
[1736.34 --> 1736.70] Trodfri.
[1736.98 --> 1737.94] That's what I'm going with.
[1737.94 --> 1740.42] I've got a bunch of those.
[1740.48 --> 1743.30] In fact, there's one right here next to me to turn these lights above my head on.
[1743.64 --> 1751.62] They're all Zigbee and they work 92% of the time, which is just enough to be really frustrating
[1751.62 --> 1755.48] because you push it and you're like, why didn't that work?
[1755.82 --> 1757.28] And you push it again and it works.
[1757.34 --> 1758.12] You're like, God damn it.
[1758.18 --> 1758.42] Why?
[1758.70 --> 1759.10] Why?
[1759.62 --> 1761.48] Why didn't you work the first time?
[1762.60 --> 1763.78] It's very frustrating.
[1763.98 --> 1767.32] It's even more embarrassing when a friend or a family member hits the button and nothing
[1767.32 --> 1767.84] happens.
[1768.30 --> 1769.98] That's the worst.
[1770.30 --> 1771.12] I hate that.
[1771.42 --> 1775.26] So now I thought I'd try and solve it with NFC tags through iOS and you can do the shortcut
[1775.26 --> 1776.64] automation kind of nonsense.
[1776.92 --> 1778.58] And they're even worse.
[1778.70 --> 1780.28] They're even less reliable for some reason.
[1780.42 --> 1782.40] I can't seem to get the reliable scan.
[1782.72 --> 1789.42] I don't know if it's just iOS NFC APIs are really finicky or whatever, but there isn't
[1789.42 --> 1797.12] a good solution really for an always on kind of low megahertz protocol like Zigbee or Z-Wave
[1797.12 --> 1797.66] should be.
[1797.74 --> 1798.88] They should be the answer.
[1799.02 --> 1801.78] They should work, but they just don't.
[1801.84 --> 1803.46] Where's my quality of service?
