[3426.24 --> 3426.90] E-R-O-C,
[3426.98 --> 3428.12] boosted in with 1500 sats.
[3428.74 --> 3429.40] He had an idea
[3429.40 --> 3429.98] for the on-the-way
[3429.98 --> 3430.60] home automation.
[3430.74 --> 3431.10] He said,
[3431.94 --> 3432.58] to your point,
[3432.66 --> 3432.86] Alex,
[3433.44 --> 3434.42] use Tasker.
[3434.66 --> 3435.88] It's a bit of a learning curve,
[3436.06 --> 3436.90] but if you're taking
[3436.90 --> 3437.78] the time to set up
[3437.78 --> 3438.24] home assistant
[3438.24 --> 3438.96] and use Nix OS,
[3439.18 --> 3439.64] you can probably
[3439.64 --> 3440.42] handle Tasker.
[3440.80 --> 3441.12] Right, yeah.
[3441.16 --> 3442.42] If you're a Nix OS guy,
[3442.98 --> 3443.32] which,
[3443.46 --> 3445.16] you're still bleeding
[3445.16 --> 3446.08] on about that thing.
[3446.08 --> 3446.56] By the way,
[3446.74 --> 3447.02] yeah,
[3447.22 --> 3448.08] by the way,
[3448.60 --> 3449.46] it's pretty great.
[3450.50 --> 3451.58] And then CB came in
[3451.58 --> 3452.58] with 5000 one sats.
[3453.10 --> 3453.32] He says,
[3453.34 --> 3454.06] I hope this makes it
[3454.06 --> 3454.48] before you guys
[3454.48 --> 3455.14] are done for the year.
[3455.22 --> 3455.76] I had a recent
[3455.76 --> 3456.98] home assistant success story.
[3457.52 --> 3458.82] My ISP was having issues
[3458.82 --> 3459.60] with their lines
[3459.60 --> 3460.26] near my house
[3460.26 --> 3460.92] and it would cause
[3460.92 --> 3461.54] a signal issue
[3461.54 --> 3462.48] that caused my modem
[3462.48 --> 3463.02] to disconnect
[3463.02 --> 3464.84] and then it would not
[3464.84 --> 3466.48] reconnect until I rebooted it.
[3466.94 --> 3467.56] This was happening
[3467.56 --> 3469.04] up to half a dozen times
[3469.04 --> 3469.46] per day.
[3469.60 --> 3470.42] I got frustrated
[3470.42 --> 3471.26] and I grabbed
[3471.26 --> 3472.34] an extra IKEA
[3472.34 --> 3473.08] Tratif plug,
[3473.20 --> 3474.08] or TradFi plug.
[3474.22 --> 3474.78] Trot free.
[3475.52 --> 3476.02] Oh, right.
[3476.08 --> 3476.50] Thank you.
[3476.72 --> 3477.88] Someone wrote in
[3477.88 --> 3478.32] and told me
[3478.32 --> 3479.28] I said it perfectly.
[3479.28 --> 3480.94] So I've got it nailed now.
[3481.24 --> 3481.56] You do.
[3482.08 --> 3483.02] You're now our
[3483.02 --> 3485.20] IKEA plug guy.
[3485.44 --> 3487.00] IKEA pronunciation expert
[3487.00 --> 3489.08] for that one specific brand
[3489.08 --> 3489.82] that they have.
[3490.38 --> 3491.14] All the others,
[3491.44 --> 3492.32] all the bets are off.
[3493.16 --> 3494.64] CB continued on another boost,
[3495.04 --> 3496.02] another 5000 two sats.
[3496.06 --> 3496.30] He says,
[3496.92 --> 3497.44] so I created
[3497.44 --> 3498.58] an automation home assistant
[3498.58 --> 3499.46] that cut the power
[3499.46 --> 3500.14] to the modem
[3500.14 --> 3501.08] for 30 seconds
[3501.08 --> 3501.54] and then turned
[3501.54 --> 3502.42] the power back on,
[3502.52 --> 3503.22] waited two minutes
[3503.22 --> 3504.48] and then sent a notification
[3504.48 --> 3505.42] to everyone in the house
[3505.42 --> 3506.00] that the internet
[3506.00 --> 3506.78] is back up.
[3506.78 --> 3507.12] Oh my.
[3507.84 --> 3509.10] So whenever the internet died,
[3509.36 --> 3510.62] I just trigger the automation
[3510.62 --> 3512.76] and just let it do its thing.
[3512.96 --> 3513.28] Thankfully,
[3513.38 --> 3514.50] my ISP fixed the issue,
[3514.62 --> 3515.28] but this little hack,
[3515.38 --> 3516.02] this little hack
[3516.02 --> 3517.10] saved me many trips
[3517.10 --> 3517.80] into the basement.
[3517.80 --> 3519.70] You know,
[3519.84 --> 3520.90] I've done a similar thing
[3520.90 --> 3521.60] with all of my
[3521.60 --> 3522.68] ESP home devices
[3522.68 --> 3523.52] for a little while.
[3523.84 --> 3525.28] I have them set to reboot
[3525.28 --> 3526.40] at 4 a.m.
[3526.52 --> 3527.08] every day
[3527.08 --> 3528.06] because there was
[3528.06 --> 3528.96] some kind of a memory leak
