Weekly Update 437

It's IoT time! We're embarking on a very major home project (more detail of which is in the video), and some pretty big decisions need to be made about a very simple device: the light switch. I love having just about every light in our connected... when it works. The house has just the right light early each morning, it transitions into daytime mode right at the perfect time based on the amount of solar radiation in the sky, into evening time courtesy of the same device and then blacks out when we go to bed. And some lights come on with movement based on motion sensors in fans (Big Ass fans have occupancy sensors), cameras (Ubiquiti camera raise motion events), and tiny dedicated Zigbee sensors. But getting the right physical switches in combination with the right IoT relays has been a bit more challenging. Listen to this week's show let me know if you have any "bright" ideas 🙂

  4. The ABC's analysis of 4-digit PINs in HIBP is really well done! (although I did spend way too much time explaining to other journalists how there are only 10,000 possible values 🤔)
  5. The HIBP Grafana dashboard is looking epic! (although I may be blowing way more time on it than anyone could reasonably justify...)
