[142.52 --> 152.18] So every single time I tear it down in the snow, in the rain, in the mud, I have to like spool this big cable that I can't detach from the dish. |
[152.20 --> 156.74] And I have to like carry them both around soaking wet and dry them off together and load them up. |
[156.82 --> 157.98] It is the worst. |
[157.98 --> 160.72] At least you got a router with an Ethernet port. |
[161.04 --> 162.00] You can stop complaining. |
[162.42 --> 162.66] That's true. |
[162.70 --> 163.36] They're taking that away. |
[163.46 --> 170.78] But when SpaceX does come out with the Starlink designed for mobile use, which they have patents for, I'm all over it. |
[171.00 --> 177.70] I mean, I was even tempted by the $500 a month Starlink Pro, but I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger on that. |
[178.44 --> 179.80] It would be really SOL. |
[180.30 --> 180.96] Yeah, it's interesting. |
[181.10 --> 186.02] You know, like obviously it has the power to completely change the game, but so does 5G. |
[186.02 --> 188.90] Like you look at what bandwidth that's capable of. |
[188.90 --> 196.16] And, you know, the number of subscribers that a single tower can support on 5G versus LTE, significantly different proposition. |
[196.94 --> 199.60] It's going to be really interesting to see which technology wins out. |
[199.72 --> 206.08] Obviously, you know, in rural America where, you know, it's a pretty different use case to what I'm used to in England, right? |
[206.08 --> 209.60] Where everything's really dense and connected with cables pretty well. |
[210.02 --> 214.96] But like rural America, you're in the middle of the wilderness pretty quickly in America if you're not careful. |
[215.28 --> 219.64] And those places, those are the ones where Starlink will change the game. |
[219.72 --> 226.66] For people like me that work fully remotely, I think, well, I live near Raleigh right now because, you know, I have access to good schools. |
[226.84 --> 228.00] One thing for my daughter. |
[228.00 --> 230.72] But I also have access to a good job market. |
[230.90 --> 238.10] Well, that kind of thing has gone away because I could move anywhere and get a remote job I wanted in my industry. |
[238.18 --> 238.68] I'm very lucky. |
[238.98 --> 246.36] And then you think, well, Internet's another one because you start trying to look at buying 20, 30 acres worth of land in the middle of West Virginia. |
[246.84 --> 250.10] And good luck getting anything above one meg DSL. |
[250.10 --> 261.96] Yeah, I think it's a mix of all of them at once, at least for the nomadic use case, because you can't, I would imagine, ever really use Starlink Mobley because I don't think the way it works. |
[262.12 --> 265.76] I don't think you can be, say, going down the road at 60 miles per hour. |
[266.00 --> 268.08] I've seen Dwayne The Rock Johnson on a sat phone. |
[268.42 --> 270.94] You know, they could do these things in the movies. |
[271.26 --> 271.84] Maybe it could. |
[272.02 --> 272.88] Maybe that'd be awesome. |
[272.88 --> 284.96] But I imagine for quite a while it's going to be a mix of different wireless tech, LTE, 5G, and then you park when you're stationary, you go Starlink. |
[285.02 --> 289.28] Or if you're out like at a piece of property, you know, a farm, it's all kind of hit and miss. |
[289.66 --> 296.08] There's a guy I work with who is working for a government contract, and he lives on a boat off the East Coast. |
[296.30 --> 299.78] And he just sails up and down the East Coast, depending on where the weather's nice all year. |
[300.38 --> 301.62] And he's on a 4G. |
[302.00 --> 302.48] Looks great. |
[302.48 --> 307.56] I had a buddy that did that, but he gave it up, I think, when the boat just started falling apart. |
[308.26 --> 309.24] Well, they do do that. |
[309.30 --> 309.90] They're a boat. |
[310.50 --> 312.36] You know, there are two good days when you own a boat. |
[312.42 --> 313.04] You know that, Chris? |
[313.18 --> 315.02] The day you buy it and the day you sell it. |
[315.12 --> 316.20] And the day you sell it. |
[316.26 --> 316.50] Yep. |
[316.88 --> 319.62] I think that might be true for an RV, too, Alex. |
[319.66 --> 328.70] And I'm looking at what's coming down the road for Home Assistant, which I have deeply integrated into my RV, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do. |
[329.38 --> 331.68] So I had some time away from Lady Joops. |
[331.68 --> 335.16] Not recently, but this was about a month and a half ago. |
[335.50 --> 337.42] Strictly platonic time away, I hope. |
[337.42 --> 337.82] Yeah. |
[337.82 --> 345.20] When our buddy Brent was in town, we were staying at the studio to let Lady Joops defrost from a stay we had in the winter wilderness. |
[345.20 --> 351.42] I spent some time here at the studio, and I just realized how little I've integrated Home Assistant. |
[351.84 --> 353.16] It's just so much the basics. |
[353.40 --> 359.18] It's like motion sensor stuff, a couple of NFC automation tag stuff, and, you know, smart lights. |
[359.26 --> 360.68] It's really fine. |
[360.74 --> 361.24] It's fine. |
[361.74 --> 363.04] I'm not trying to denigrate that setup. |
[363.04 --> 370.08] But compared to what I've done in my primary home in Lady Joops, it's just really night and day. |
[370.52 --> 375.54] And I came to realize just how much we rely on Home Assistant. |
[375.86 --> 378.50] It is an integral part of operating our home now. |
[378.50 --> 381.18] And I don't know how to describe that. |
[381.38 --> 385.28] I describe it as important as some of the machinery in the engine. |
[385.46 --> 389.98] You know, it is an absolute critical part of the operation of the vehicle now. |
[390.22 --> 397.74] So when I see things that are coming down the pipe that are going to break Z-Wave, man, I just don't know what I'm going to do. |
[397.74 --> 402.56] So this is really for any of us out there who are on the OG Z-Wave support. |
[402.70 --> 404.50] Like I'm talking the old Z-Wave stuff. |
[404.92 --> 419.98] It seems going by the beta release notes, then in a couple of releases in the 22.4, so not the next one, but the one after, they are going to deprecate the old Z-Wave support simply because they have to move on in Python versions. |
[420.82 --> 423.14] And no one supports that old Z-Wave stuff. |
[423.14 --> 427.46] And the dev team is recommending instead that you migrate to Z-Wave.js. |
[427.74 --> 429.46] And you know, Alex, we've talked about this. |
[429.76 --> 431.98] I tried it and it went badly. |
[432.12 --> 446.94] It's one of the few times I had to hit the escape hatch and do a full restore from backup and bail out of what I had done because my migration went so poorly that just about everything from automations to timers and buttons all broke. |
[447.48 --> 448.22] Everything broke. |
[448.60 --> 449.74] How many sensors do you have? |
[450.10 --> 451.44] How many devices on that network? |
[451.44 --> 453.36] I think it's somewhere like 100 devices. |
[453.76 --> 455.08] I don't remember how many of them are sensors. |
[455.08 --> 459.82] It's tricky because each sensor actually shows up as an individual device. |
[460.34 --> 464.08] And there are like seven in each one of those little Z-Wave sensors. |
[464.42 --> 469.26] And when you migrate, do you have to repair each device one by one? |
[469.48 --> 472.08] Because I had to do that with my Zigbee thing when I changed my channel. |
[472.52 --> 475.08] I think it's actually stored in my Z-Wave controller. |
[475.08 --> 484.42] However, it seems like the new versions of Z-Wave.js, and I haven't done this for about six months, but it's like a bunch of missing devices show up. |
[484.64 --> 485.82] Like the names don't line up. |
[486.12 --> 489.06] And so I don't know exactly what went wrong when I looked at it. |
[489.06 --> 497.20] But it was, yes, it stored the pairings, but it was almost irrelevant because I'd have to wipe the slate and repair it anyways to fix everything. |
[497.90 --> 503.22] I'm not ready to go there when Matter is probably about a year away. |
[503.86 --> 507.20] And I'm going to then just start replacing all of this with Matter devices. |
[507.20 --> 513.62] And I was really hoping to hold out, just kind of hold out until Matter arrived and then just switch over. |
[514.30 --> 517.92] And it seems like I'm not going to get that opportunity because they want to move on. |
[518.02 --> 520.06] They got to get a newer version of Python in their stack. |
[521.08 --> 527.06] I'm playing devil's advocate a little bit here, but how do you propose that Home Assistant solve this problem? |
[527.24 --> 529.08] I mean, time moves on. |
[529.20 --> 533.58] Python 2 has been on the ropes for a long time now. |
[533.64 --> 535.46] I mean, it's not like this is a new problem. |
[535.76 --> 536.98] What's the alternative though? |
[536.98 --> 538.52] I'm not really sure there is one. |
[538.86 --> 547.14] Looking at it objectively, I think to myself, isn't there some way they could supply this as a container so it is unaffected by the base system? |
