Hey all!
I’m fairly new to Home Assistant and have just created a few dashboards to be able to view my router statistics and be able to restart them via REST if need be. Love being able to do this seamlessly from one place.
It got me thinking however, that I can only really access the dashboard when I’m on my internal network. I know that there is a paid Home Assistant cloud that would enable me to view my dashboards and such publicly and securely, but I was wondering if this community has set it up themselves for free and securely.
Would anyone be able to guide me in the right direction?
I use the Home Assistant Cloud Remote Control feature, which gives an external URL essentially. It does run through Home Assistant’s servers for external access, but I don’t really mind. I was using a DIY DuckDNS setup, but decided to start using HA Cloud for the Google Assistant integration. Using Remote Control is really easy, and I don’t have to think about my setup.
