My wife doesn't understand what I do on the computer all the time and she's pretty doubtful of my claim that server racks are normal household items. Nevertheless setting up the HA app on her phone with a Wireguard VPN was super simple and she's got a good handle on that.

That being said, setting up the HA and Wireguard server is definitely a more demanding experience. Although once setup it's pretty much a once and done sort of thing, and they're are integrated ready to go solutions available.

It would be nice to see something like "Geek Squad" offering that sort of service instead of just running AV software while trawling for nudes on customer laptops. No guesses on what's more profitable though.

Haha, she's got you there.


Racks of gear are completely normal if you're a serious musician or computer user.

I guess you started using Home Assistance recently / shortly... and/or you use only a few HA integrations.

Otherwise, you would have already run into enough troubles with updates.
