Switching over from SmartThings. Samsung had a free remote access service built in. Didn’t pay for it.

Home Assistant offers a remote service through NabuCasa $60/year. No friggin way. I roll my own everything so that’s not happening.

Question is: how do y’all do it?

VPN? Expose it from home network? I do have my own domain and pay for external Dynamic DNS.

Other things I’m not thinking of?

FWIW, I have a Ubiquiti UDMPro, a pi-hole, multiple Synology NAS’s, in terms of things that have remote access features built in. Also subscribe to NordVPN that seems to have some remote acccess options.

Just curious how everyone does it.
