Posted March 27, 20231 yr Does the home assistant app allow one to control your home assistant from abroad? Im out of town and can't seem to connect to my house. Is there where one buys the cloud services?

Is there where one buys the cloud services? put a SSL certificate on HA, enable 2FA and do port forwarding on tor router so u can access it from anywhere..
March 27, 20231 yr Also have a look at cloudlflared. You would need to purchase a domain though https://www.cloudflare.com/products/tunnel/
March 27, 20231 yr Easiest (and quickest) would be to get Tailscale installed. Its free and allows you to remote into your network. Edit: There is no off the shelf way to do this. You COULD pay for NabuCasa - this will give you the functionality (USD 5 per month) but unless you port forward or get a VPN of some sort to create a tunnel there is no way natively to do it.

Works nicely

Intriguing. Checking out the website, on facevalue Tailscale smells like a brokerless VPN based on WireGuard. Or have I got wrong, is Tailscale providing a cloud broker?

You'd have 1 ''master node'' on a network that the peers connect to in order to access that network. In my case the master is running on HomeAssistant which then provides a breakout
March 27, 20231 yr Also look at ZeroTier One. It integrates straight into HA (there is an add-on) and with the app on your phone, allows access into your HA from anywhere by just throwing a switch in the app. Super easy to setup.

April 13, 20231 yr Author So I've managed to install the tailscale add on via HACS (version by frenck) and installed tailscale on my android phone. I enabled the subnet routes in the settings on tailscale website. However when I enable tailscale on my phone well outside my network and I try to connect to home assistant it does not work. I even tried the IP number for home assistant server which is 10.0. 0.28 Did i miss å step somewhere? Tx Edit: i only installed the version from HACS. I did not install the version inside Intergrations. Edited April 13, 20231 yr by sunset1

April 13, 20231 yr I've installed WireGuard on my router and on my Android Phone. Works a charm. Solar-Assistant enables remote access via frp: https://github.com/fatedier/frp/ Tailscale, ZeroTier, Nebula and Netmaker all look interesting. The below video gives good info on ZeroTier and HA.

Do you mean the address my devices fall under on our network? Ours are 10.0.0.x Not sure if it's correct but on the previous screenshot I posted of the route settings it shows 10.0.0.24 toggled on. I'm not sure what this is but I believe the ip for my home assistant machine is 1.0.0.28

Thanks. Going to give this a try. Question. How come you need Frp for solar assistant? I can access it remotely through the app and their website as it stands.

I can access it remotely through the app and their website as it stands. You don't need frp. Solar-Assistant uses frp internally to allow remote access. If you are accessing your SA via the App (PWA) or their Website, you are using frp. Edited April 17, 20231 yr by system32
