@aaronpk this has been my strategy too. Heavily into Home Assistant already and delving into NodeRed now.

Neat! I'm just getting up and running with Home Assistant. It's been an adventure so far!

@aaronpk sounds awesome! What model is that? I’m thinking of doing the same.

Real talk.

I cannot remember the last camera that's had me as excited as the RX100VII.

I've enjoyed cameras previously (I mean me right) but I've never had one that I went from completely "meh lets make the video due to obligation" to "HOLY CRAP" quicker.

Mine arrives on Wednesday 🙊🙈

There’s not a clear way to ‘reset’ either which makes test/dev extremely frustrating

Yeah totally. That was why I was bashing my head against the wall for a while when I first tried this API out. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. The worst part is it's based on the first time the user approves the app regardless of whether the app finishes the flow.

This is disappointing, and likely a hole in any OIDC compliance. I'd expect requesting an email scope drops the email claim into the token.

100%. Also notice how not following the spec opened up a new vulnerability. But when has Apple been known to respect standards?

Very cool to see other people working on Home Automation stuff. I'm not automating much yet. It's more like keeping track of things, like energy usage and temperature. Best project yet was getting a notification when the washing machine was done, based on energy usage measured by a smart plug. That was created with ESPHome.

That's very cool! I might have to try that one too!

Yes! Finally took the plunge into that world.

My favorite style of photography is definitely the product shot. And since I tried talking all the photographers into using twitter more I might as well post them here too.

That is very well lit! You should do a behind the scenes to show us how you make photos like that! 📸

I watch quite a lot of your videos, but to be honest, I really could care less about an Olympus TG-6. For me personally, it’s the least interesting topic I’ve seen you cover. Maybe it’s not a scheduling thing and just a topic others like me aren’t interested in?

same tbh

OH. So not just for motion? The sound, smoke alarm, and CO alarm toggles all go to the cloud as well. I'll share your request for universal button with the team. Sorry for my confusion!

I just want to make sure the footage isn't uploaded anywhere. None of these explanations give me much confidence 😆 A button to specifically disable cloud recording would be great.

Not competing with at all. It’s the anti-VidCon. This is a place for YouTubers to learn.

that said, I'm very curious about Vidsummit, it looks interesting! I feel like Vidcon was a good crash course in Youtube for me, but I'm not sure I can justify two conferences in the same year tho.

Vidcon has the whole creator and industry tracks which have zero to do with fans. It's sessions about making videos. The expo hall was all tracks combined, so it was a little funny to have the Sennheiser booth next to the M&M booth.

Curious how many of my twitter friends are going to @vidsummit this year… (if you ARE going, also comment below so I know who to look for!)

I'd never heard of it before. They're clearly competing with Vidcon with their home page copy! 😂 "VidSummit is NOT a place where influencers connect with their fans."

Thanks for your feedback! Do you have a specific link that I can send the team to look at?

To turn off cloud recording, turn off the motion detection. That's the only toggle for that particular aspect. You can still use continuous recording to a microSD card afterward.

Thanks! That's much simpler than it apparently used to be!

We're releasing Wyze Cam v2 4.9.4.108 and Wyze Cam Pan 4.10.3.108 firmware upgrades today! These add support for a Wyze Sense status light toggle on the Bridge, fix a couple Bridge bugs, and fix time lapse downloading.

Find out more in our release notes:

https://support.wyzecam.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024852172-Release-Notes

Can we get a toggle that completely disables cloud uploading/recording?

The references for how to disable cloud recording by turning off a bunch of switches don't match up with the latest version of the app!

US-based international travelers! What phone carrier do you use for data abroad and how do you like it? With the merger of @Sprint & @TMobile I am considering other options like @googlefi or other major US carriers. Has it been seemless, is it possible to get data unthrottled?

I use GigSky with my iPhone's virtual SIM! It's so nice that I don't have to swap SIM cards, and their rates are not the cheapest but totally reasonable, and it's just so so easy. I never think about it anymore.

Now the real struggle begins. Hitting one whole month. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I’ve made it 30 days without buying a camera 🤣

Days since last camera purchase: 11

but the RX100 VII comes out next week! How are you not gonna buy it!

@aaronpk I'm guessing you use that Live thing and then select the frame you want. Not something I generally do when I'm snapping, but I might try and remember in future.

Even simpler, I just recorded a video until I saw a flash, then stop the video and find the frame! Then I use a video editing app to export the single frame from the video.
