@evan no, I mean, I don't see why it'd make sense to define a custom profile of OAuth 2.0 when OIDC exists and we could just use it?

What does defining a custom profile really give us? Our authentication needs can't be that unique, can they?

@evan so currently all the different fediverse services that implement OAuth implement different bits of specs & don't support discovery of authorization server metadata; additionally, they rarely support PKCE. Dynamic Client Registration is supported, but OIDC Federation would likely be better.

The scopes you define look like they could conflict with existing implementations, and are also not discoverable by the client.

@aaronpk So you don’t need Spacial Video? How else will you justify a Vision Pro purchase?

@aaronpk sounds expensive 😬

Do the new ones do any sort of energy reporting? What home automation platform have you landed on!

@aaronpk do you have a plan for light/wall switches yet? If I were building a house I think something like a Shelly relay would be my default go to to connect my lights. Could be a few switches where I’d use a special switch but I really like our Shelly’s. Cost effective too, especially multigang switches.

@aaronpk I can only think of a pneumatic tube system, although it's unlikely to be a last minute addition.

@aaronpk Time capsule!

@aaronpk A separate low-voltage DC net to power all those ESPs?

@aaronpk pretty much the wires for the contact sensors (doors, windows), the fire alarm wiring and the wires from the alarm box to the horn and the touchscreen panels themselves

@aaronpk Some sort of metallic object at a consistent height that you’ll remember for locating studs. It could be something as simple as a nail at doorknob height on all of them. Extra points if you can figure out some sort of way to note where your wires and pipes are, like maybe a magnet flipped so that it repels when you use a stud finding magnet. If I could make any upgrade to the walls of my house, that would be it by a mile.

@aaronpk if you're going to have a wired security system, having the security company installer come and do that before the walls closed up would be good.

@aaronpk yes - we added them when we renovated the bathroom and it's great. Also a power outlet by the toilet for a heated toilet seat, and another inside of the bathroom cabinet for charging razors (so they don't have to be out on the countertop all of the time).

@aaronpk also: speaker wire for wherever you will want speakers. We put ceiling mounted speakers above the sink in our master bathroom and they get used daily.

@aaronpk if your internets will be delivered by your cable tv provider, make sure you have a path for that cable... otherwise the cable company will just butcher your house when they do their install

@aaronpk we did a remodel years ago and the general contractor suggested I take photos like this. It allowed us to uncover an HVAC duct that was completely sheet rocked over!

@aaronpk anything in between with mains power where you could put a Zigbee repeater, like a switched outlet adapter or similar?

@aaronpk also, if you get Informed Delivery, you get sms for all tracked mail…
