its possible to use without Apple Hubs as Apple TV or home pod? even activating mDns multicast or other way. No possible?

Hi. Maybe can someone help me. I have HA Setup on a remote Server hosted by a friend of mine with the offical iso. The manual installation of HA core on ubuntu didnt worked somehow so it tried the iso. To be able to see my solar inverter and stuff I need to setup a VPN Connection to my fritzbox/lan. How do i configure this in HA? all the guides I have found are for when you want to connect to your HA remotely. but first i have to get the connection to my fritzbox and my local network.

[@yoyoTechKnows]

Not 100% sure how you are trying to set this up - but you would most likely need to use your network gear to create the VPN and create a route to allow access from your home assistant box. I don't think there is any easy way to do this with Home Assistant itself! Hope that helps - thanks for watching!

@@yoyoTechKnows yes it helped. I thought there would be a easy way to Install a vpn Client all on the HA itself. I build a tunnel network vpn Interface on the Router for the VMs. Everything works now :)

I have a mini PC at home, online 24/7 365. So I just set a remoter Desktop in that PC. Using Chrome Remote Desktop, or free version of Anydesk. And access that PC from anywhere, then use the browser in that PC to access my Home Assistant. Two-step indeed. but it's free and easy to setup

Great overview - thanks! Would love to see some Unify Dream Machine specific setups… I’m struggling with network configs and promox + HA… Probably a simple fix, but a walkthrough of your setup would be great. Love the videos and clarity you provide!

[@yoyoTechKnows]

I have actually been working on a new setup at a clients this week - thinking of creating a setup video for the unifi system I am installing! - keep an eye out for it - and thanks for watching

@@yoyoTechKnowssame. I have a Dream machine as well and would love to see that vid. Thanks!

There's another way ... if you have a reverse proxy then you can use a (sub)domain to access HA that way. And an addition to your #2, you can enable 2 factor authentication, but only when you log in when you're not in your local network. That works for all non LAN connection and is a good thing to have for that extra layer of security. But at home you get straight in

Have you tried homeway?

[@yoyoTechKnows]

I have not - but it looks pretty cool - I will check it out! Thanks for the lead and thanks for watching!

Note it cost money to use , except to have LIMITED access to HA but unlimited will happen when you pay though

Wifi devices I bought for home automation become the bane of my existence. They don't work with home assistant.

[@yoyoTechKnows]

Wifi can always be a challenge - you need good connectivity in order for home automation to work - I would recommend looking into Unifi networking, you can easily add multiple antenna and improve your network - I currently have 127 wifi devices and no issues - but I am also a little extreme. :-) thanks for watching!

First tutorial video with music in the background, what a stupid idea

[@yoyoTechKnows]

This week - no music! LOL, its funny becuase when I add music, comments are please no music, and then when there is no music, I get comments that I need some music to break things up - so the only solution seems to be some one way, some the other! :-) thanks all the same for watching!
