[1361.26 --> 1363.90] if you do connect HomeKit up all to Home Assistant,
[1364.28 --> 1365.22] then those will show up.
[1365.30 --> 1368.70] Those will be devices as buttons you can use in HomeKit.
[1369.10 --> 1369.78] That's pretty cool.
[1370.52 --> 1370.68] Yeah.
[1370.96 --> 1373.28] And so then that means also your iPad gets that,
[1373.56 --> 1374.32] your watch,
[1374.32 --> 1376.88] and any of your Siri tubes get that.
[1376.98 --> 1378.48] And I think the Siri tubes actually make
[1378.48 --> 1379.70] for kind of a nice
[1379.70 --> 1382.32] home automation voice control.
[1382.48 --> 1383.54] It's a decent compromise.
[1383.90 --> 1386.92] I think it's not a perfect privacy story,
[1387.12 --> 1388.86] but it's clearly better than Google
[1388.86 --> 1390.40] and better than Amazon.
[1391.16 --> 1391.22] Yeah.
[1391.76 --> 1393.06] I'd be lying if I said
[1393.06 --> 1394.42] that wasn't part of my motivation
[1394.42 --> 1396.22] to switch for a bit.
[1396.98 --> 1400.80] And I like that their protocol is LAN-based.
[1401.06 --> 1402.80] It's not API cloud-based,
[1402.88 --> 1403.60] it's LAN-based.
[1403.60 --> 1407.40] Now, the voice translation that Siri does
[1407.40 --> 1408.26] is cloud-based,
[1408.34 --> 1410.74] although Apple does seem to be moving
[1410.74 --> 1412.64] to doing that on chip more and more.
[1412.70 --> 1413.76] They do that in the latest iPhone.
[1413.96 --> 1416.18] So it's conceivable future HomePods
[1416.18 --> 1417.98] may do local transcription.
[1418.42 --> 1420.28] So that part still goes to the cloud.
[1420.40 --> 1423.10] But once Siri realizes what you're asking for,
[1423.80 --> 1425.02] that happens on the LAN,
[1425.16 --> 1426.22] that happens immediately.
[1426.60 --> 1428.02] It's faster than some of the other ones
[1428.02 --> 1428.66] because of that.
[1429.62 --> 1430.98] So another question I have for you,
[1430.98 --> 1433.58] with the Nebu Casa cloud service,
[1433.58 --> 1437.44] I can connect the Google and Amazon pucks,
[1437.80 --> 1439.44] tubes, whatever, voice assistants
[1439.44 --> 1442.76] to react to various phrases.
[1443.26 --> 1445.20] And I can program those with Google,
[1445.30 --> 1445.68] for example,
[1445.72 --> 1446.96] you do it in the Google Home app.
[1447.40 --> 1448.90] I can create key phrases
[1448.90 --> 1450.86] that trigger certain scripts
[1450.86 --> 1451.46] in Home Assistant,
[1451.58 --> 1452.22] that kind of thing.
[1452.22 --> 1455.74] What's the equivalent in the HomeKit world?
[1456.74 --> 1457.54] That's a great question.
[1457.72 --> 1458.70] I'm really glad you asked
[1458.70 --> 1459.88] because I should make this point.
[1460.40 --> 1461.92] You don't need Nebu Casa cloud
[1461.92 --> 1463.24] or any of that
[1463.24 --> 1466.10] to have HomeKit and Siri work together
[1466.10 --> 1467.32] and have Siri trigger
[1467.32 --> 1468.42] all the HomeKit stuff
[1468.42 --> 1470.58] because it's doing it
[1470.58 --> 1472.76] through the HomeKit integration.
[1473.88 --> 1477.58] And Siri is executing those commands
[1477.58 --> 1479.52] from the hub device
[1479.52 --> 1482.18] or whatever Siri device requests it
[1482.18 --> 1483.54] directly to the Home Assistant
[1483.54 --> 1484.66] using that integration.
[1484.94 --> 1486.80] So it bypasses the need
[1486.80 --> 1488.16] for like the complicated setup
[1488.16 --> 1489.12] to get Google Assistant
[1489.12 --> 1490.30] to work completely.
[1490.86 --> 1491.16] So also,
[1491.26 --> 1492.16] I think it's just a great setup
[1492.16 --> 1493.64] because you don't actually need
[1493.64 --> 1494.76] the Nebu Casa cloud part.
[1494.86 --> 1495.44] You don't have to do
[1495.44 --> 1496.32] all the cloud stuff
[1496.32 --> 1497.58] if you don't want to.
[1498.22 --> 1498.96] So you just get
[1498.96 --> 1500.38] the HomeKit integration set up.
[1500.90 --> 1502.06] And once you have
[1502.06 --> 1503.32] all the HomeKit devices
[1503.32 --> 1504.78] associated with Home Assistant,
[1505.70 --> 1506.70] Siri just works.
[1506.92 --> 1507.24] Your phone,
[1507.32 --> 1507.98] it'll work on your phone.
[1508.04 --> 1508.96] It'll work on your HomePod.
[1508.96 --> 1509.82] It'll work on your watch.
[1509.86 --> 1510.90] It'll work on your Apple TV.
[1511.36 --> 1512.84] It all just happens immediately.
[1514.56 --> 1514.94] Very nice.
[1515.14 --> 1515.82] And we're going to take
[1515.82 --> 1516.48] a quick break
[1516.48 --> 1517.80] from the Apple stuff.
[1517.90 --> 1519.02] We'll come back to that shortly.
[1519.74 --> 1520.84] I have a request
[1520.84 --> 1522.62] to ask of our listenership.
[1523.62 --> 1525.02] My mother sent me
[1525.02 --> 1526.76] a few videotapes for Christmas.
[1526.92 --> 1530.22] They are mini DV format tapes.
[1530.74 --> 1532.96] I rang a local video shop
[1532.96 --> 1534.22] that does like digital
[1534.22 --> 1536.18] or analog to digital conversions.
[1536.18 --> 1537.90] And they wanted to charge me
