WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.640 Let' s see first. I have seven chapters that the truth is not 2 00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.960 bad for the short time I have. There' s something I want to 3 00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:13.160 make very clear, because I' m getting a lot of emails from people 4 00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:14.759 asking about homasist and domestic systems. This is a podcast and, as such, 5 00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:17.960 submission is to divulge around home automation, cacharreo and also about Arduino. 6 00:00:19.280 --> 00:00:23.879 It' s impossible for you to learn everything you need to automate your home 7 00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:26.960 by just listening to a podcast. And this is basically because this is all 8 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.800 very visual and requires a step- by- step system so that you can 9 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:33.439 configure your home automation system. This is what I' m going to talk 10 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.359 about shortly. In the easy program subscription list, just enter into easy com 11 00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:41.119 programming and sign up for the mini home automation course. You just have to 12 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.600 do that. You may thus have access to a content that will see the 13 00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.039 light in a very short time and may help you set up your own home 14 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:53.039 automation system. That said, let' s go with today' s chapter 15 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:58.079 because I' m going to talk about the integrations of eystan homas but first 16 00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.439 let me tell you the story of the good American friend Jack, good of 17 00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:03.599 those sleeping with the revolver under the pillow. It turns out that on a 18 00:01:03.640 --> 00:01:07.840 spring day of two thousand twenty- two, poor Jack got up to go 19 00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:11.519 to work, put some water on his face and went down to the kitchen 20 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.000 for breakfast, hoping that his home automation system would have prepared him a good 21 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.239 cup of coffee, because, as he did every morning but that day there 22 00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.959 was no coffee or hostess and after eating pancakes, the veicon and eggs, 23 00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:26.959 shitting himself under the garage, already on the stairs, he realized that the 24 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.599 lights did not light themselves and he began to gnash when he had to open 25 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:36.519 the door like the wild ones, pushing something was not right and when he 26 00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:38.640 got to work and connected to his home automation system, he could see what 27 00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.159 was going on. It' s something that has to do with your automatic 28 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.000 devices and something related to this. That' s what I heard in this 29 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:51.200 new chapter, because there are smart devices for home in many forms and manufacturers. 30 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:56.879 All absolutely all can be divided into two large groups, those that depend 31 00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.840 on the Internet, the manufacturers and their servers and those that do not, 32 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.760 in other words, those that subject you and that you can subject guesses to. 33 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.759 What kind of devices Jack had, you' ll find out now. 34 00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.960 Welcome to technology, but all the podcast where I talk about arduin, not 35 00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:22.879 home automation programming and everything related to the maker movement. My name is Luis 36 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:35.319 del Valle. You can find me on my blog in program easy com do. 37 00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:38.479 I' m going to go on with Jack' s story because when 38 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.199 he entered his home automation system, he discovered that the company behind him had 39 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.120 evaporated. This company is called Histeon and closed in April of two thousand twenty 40 00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:50.439 - two without notice. He disappeared forever, leaving no trace and without warning 41 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.039 his clients to see. This is nothing new. I mean, companies appear 42 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:59.680 and disappear. I think we' re already used to it, because whoever 43 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.639 remembers terra, read appreciated or read sixteen daily that is, when the company 44 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.000 that disappears is the one behind your home automation system. What do you want 45 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.479 me to say to me, no fag or fucking grace, and you might 46 00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:14.879 think it was a company from a Wisconsin neighborhood, but hyston still had a 47 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:19.319 trajectory of over twenty years selling domestic devices all over the planet and overnight shut 48 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:23.319 down and although it may be normal for a company to shut down due to 49 00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.199 economic problems, we are used to seeing it on the news. What' 50 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.360 s not so normal anymore is that I' m not the only one who 51 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:31.360 ' s done it. I mean, it' s not the only case 52 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.479 because companies like Rebolve, Google' s affiliated company, which closed in the 53 00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:40.240 two thousand sixteen, or Charter in Samsung' s two thousand twenty or Smarthings, 54 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:45.439 which shut down support for automation centers in the two thousand twenty- one, 55 00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:51.240 are also cases like hysteon, all of them also left thousands of automatic 56 00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:53.840 systems thrown away and also their users. And this is why when you' 57 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.759 re going to buy a home automation device, it would be a good time 58 00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.919 to ask which of the two groups belong to those that depend on the manufacturers 59 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:06.120 and they can leave you lying down and those that don' t, because 60 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.960 to see how I explain it to you. When your home automation system is 61 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.120 like JAGG' s and depends on the manufacturers, you run the risk that 62 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.000 if the company closes because the zeal or ceo retires or the servers fall your 63 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.439 home automation system goes after your data are not in good health, because sending 64 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.879 them to a Vietnam jungle ten zero kilometers away. Aside from the fact that 65 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.000 it' s absurd to have the light bulb within two meters, it' 66 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.600 s more insecure than if they don' t leave your house and the manufacturers 67 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:36.319 know when I get up at night to eat cookies if you' ve eaten 68 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:39.279 cauliflower or when you' re shopping, what you want me to say to 69 00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.279 me It' s not that funny. Hence the importance of using a home 70 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:46.279 automation controller as a homasist so that if the manufacturer closes you don' t 71 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.199 get any more laid than a butt. But what to do with all those 72 00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:53.519 devices that depend on the manufacturers and that we already have installed at home. 73 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:59.639 We throw them to the clean spot in which container they go, since tranquility 74 00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.399 does not dissist anything, because if there is a characteristic that differentiates homosist in 75 00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.639 the rest of automatic controllers, that is its flexibility. Now you see, 76 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:11.839 why I' m saying that, we' ve already seen in the home 77 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.720 intelligence chapter how devices that depend on manufacturers interact with homasista. Basically what it 78 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:21.319 does is use cloud servers as a gateway. When you want to control a 79 00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.920 device that depends on the homas manufacturers are sending the command to their servers over 80 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:30.360 the Internet and these get in touch with the device and although having to send 81 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.199 information thousands of miles to turn on a light that is one meter away is 82 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:38.360 absurd. Apart from privacy, it' s the solution that Homas Eastan offers 83 00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:42.360 us so we don' t have to throw all those devices into a clean 84 00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:46.399 spot container. But how capable homas are to control these devices, as this 85 00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.759 is achieved thanks to Homasistant integrations. The integrations are nothing more than pieces of 86 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:57.720 software that expand Homasistant' s operation is as if they were the Chrome plugins 87 00:05:57.839 --> 00:06:03.279 or plugins of any other software. It allows us to add extra functions to 88 00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:09.279 HOMASISTAN and what functions we can add. The truth is that there are countless 89 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.920 integrations that make everything, from being able to calculate the average or the derivative 90 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:15.720 of a sensor to integrating motorcycle cars or the rumba vacuum cleaner. You can 91 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.279 see all the integrations of homas if they are categorized on the official website today, 92 00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:26.319 when I am recording this chapter, there are two thousand four hundred twenty 93 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.240 - four integrations, although this number most likely will continue to grow. This 94 00:06:30.240 --> 00:06:33.879 is because Eastan Homa Popularity is growing a lot and manufacturers will be anything but 95 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:39.040 fools not and know that if their products are compatible with Instan Homas, they 96 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:44.720 will sell more. Hence, Homasistant' s offer of integrations is so varied. 97 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.839 Many of the most important manufacturers are compatible with Instan homas. Examples include 98 00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:57.000 Shaomi, Phillips Ness and kalg O Sonos, among others. They all have 99 00:06:57.040 --> 00:07:00.360 integrations so that their dyspositis s n n r s s s s two from 100 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.959 Homasistant. And this, apart from making everything much more flexible, allows us 101 00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:10.720 to do things like having a single application where we can control all the devices 102 00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:14.360 that are branded and so forget about having an application for each of them, 103 00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:20.160 create automations where devices from different manufacturers are involved. That is, that a 104 00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:26.040 Shaomi sensor hates a person' s presence and can turn on a Phillips Hough 105 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.160 bulb, for example, and even though you' re still going to depend 106 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:33.639 on their servers and the Internet, you can have them all integrated into homas 107 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:38.680 install until the company or device bursts. All this in terms of controlling domestic 108 00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:43.120 devices such as relays, plugs or sensors or bulbs, you know the typical 109 00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:47.879 ones, because besides, there are other types of devices or rather are electrical 110 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:53.800 devices that can also be connected thanks to the integrations of homasista. I mean 111 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:58.160 devices like the vacuum robot, smart speakers like Alexa or Google hom or connected 112 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:03.920 cars like Tesla, for example. Many of these devices also have interactions of 113 00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:07.639 eastan homas with which you will be able to do crazy things. But things 114 00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:13.879 like that while you' re having breakfast Alexa can tell you to come out 115 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.279 ten minutes early, because you have to put broth in the car, that 116 00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:20.519 the vacuum robot comes out to clean only when there' s no one home, 117 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:22.920 or that at nine and twelve o' clock it stops the TV and 118 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:24.959 sounds Casimiro' s song in Alexa so that the kids go to sleep shitting 119 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:30.439 milk. And although the ideal would be to have a home automation system completely 120 00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.399 independent of manufacturers so they won' t let you go, as happened to 121 00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:37.759 Jack today. It is quite difficult to achieve this, because even though all 122 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.879 automatic devices, such as relays, light bulbs or sensors, are independent, 123 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.000 the other chapter will talk about this type of devices. You may have a 124 00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:50.720 car, a vacuum robot, or a washing machine that will continue to depend 125 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:52.840 on manufacturers' servers. But if we stick to domotic devices like relays, 126 00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:58.559 light bulbs or sensors, how to identify which are independent dependents. Well, 127 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.879 I' ll talk about this in another chapter of the podcast. For now 128 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.440 we' re going to see how to integrate a home automation device dependent on 129 00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.440 Homasistant. Once you have installed Instan homas by one of the official methods we 130 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:16.320 already saw in a chapter. Adding integrations is pretty simple, but before you 131 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:20.360 see where you have to access, it' s important to know whether or 132 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.080 not your devices are compatible with a Joker. The quickest thing is to go 133 00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:28.200 to the official website where you will find all the integrations of homasista and search 134 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:31.559 by the name of the manufacturer. For example, imagine that you have a 135 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.320 Tepeling plug at home that you control with the manufacturer app. You enter the 136 00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:41.559 integrations website and search for Teppeling you will see three integrations, one of which 137 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:46.440 is called Teppelin Casa smar Always before adding an interaction to Homasistant, it is 138 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:52.559 advisable to read the official documentation of the integration. In the event that an 139 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.399 integration by the manufacturer' s name does not appear, it will most likely 140 00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:01.440 not be good compatible. It' s not really officially compatible, because there 141 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.759 is an unofficial integration repository called Jacks, but using their integrations can carry risks 142 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:15.600 in terms of Honmasistan' s performance and performance. You can also search for 143 00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:20.120 devices on the website h device, where a repository of all Homasistant- compatible 144 00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:26.200 devices is being created and once you have localized integration. You know your devices 145 00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.720 are compatible and you' ve accessed official documentation. There are two ways to 146 00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.240 add integration. The first series through the website of the official Homasta documentation. 147 00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:41.159 There you will find a button that puts at integration. If you press it 148 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:46.480 open a your homs installation are and install it automatically. The second option is 149 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:50.639 in the integrations section of the graphical interface, where you will be able to 150 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:56.399 access if you are going to adjust devices and services, there you will have 151 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.840 another button that puts adding integration. This will open a panel, a new 152 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.360 pantan where you' re going to look for integration and install it anyway, 153 00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:07.559 before you add any integration, be it depelin or any other manufacturer, it 154 00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:11.639 ' s going to ask you to configure access to the cloud of the device, 155 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:16.559 if it depends on the manufacturers. In the end it is usually through 156 00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.000 a user, a password with the one you do in the application or through 157 00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:24.480 an api key that the manufacturer will provide you with. Each integration has its 158 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:28.200 own configuration. There is nothing standard and hence it is so important to review 159 00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:35.799 the official documentation before installing any integration. This concludes this chapter. But first 160 00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:39.240 I' m going to make a summary of everything we' ve seen so 161 00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.320 far. In this chapter we have seen the risks that we face when our 162 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.799 home automation system depends on manufacturers. If the company shuts down your system goes 163 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:50.759 to hell, having to connect to a server that' s thousands of miles 164 00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:54.600 away. Apart from being absurd, it' s much more insecure and although 165 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:58.440 there' s probably no one watching to know when you eat cookies, go 166 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.960 out of the house or save your data that you know are not private. 167 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.960 Therefore, the ideal would be to have a totally independent home automation system. 168 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.039 But this today is quite complicated, because in many cases we already start with 169 00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.840 automatic devices that depend on manufacturers, but whether they are real in chufes or 170 00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:22.440 sensors. Even if they depend on the manufacturers, you may be able to 171 00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:24.919 control them from the same tomotic controller thanks to the integrations of homasista. These 172 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.679 integrations are nothing more than pieces of software that are installed in homassins so to 173 00:12:28.759 --> 00:12:35.200 provide extra functionality to our home automation system, and integrations there are many and 174 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.480 allow us to control from bulbs to vacuum cleaners through cars. This is why, 175 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.200 if you have domotic devices, it would be bullshit to get rid of 176 00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:48.679 them without first checking if they are compatible with Jomists. Now, whenever you 177 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:52.679 go to buy new devices, you try to make them independent, but how 178 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.600 to differentiate them from each other. Well, I' ll talk about this 179 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.759 in another chapter We' ll hear each other next week. Don' t 180 00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.559 miss the date and remember to be happy
