I had followed someone’s instructions on YouTube to set up the remote access, it was long enough ago that I don’t remember exactly what steps I used to set up.
I’m not sure if there was something I did, or if something just stopped working. Over the weekend, my wifi went down, and I had to reboot my Home Assistant yellow using the blue shut down button, and when it restarted at least one of my integrations wasn’t working. I restored my latest backup and sometime during this period the remote access stopped working (it had been working earlier in the day, and the backup was from 2 days before it stopped working)
I don’t know what to do to figure out what isn’t working. I know there are multiple ways to enable remote access, so I’m not able to give enough information to help me, but does anyone have any suggestions on anything I can check?
Thanks for the response. I checked, and the port forwarding looks correct. The address is the address of my HA Yellow.
While checking that, I noticed I have a raspberry pi zero that was running as a web server that had become disconnected, I believe it was part of the process (running nginx or hosting certificates or something; this was set up a while ago, so I don’t remember exactly what was part of this setup). I plugged it back in, but i’m still not able to connect. I will check back later to see if it will allow me to connect.
I don’t think that the port forwarding was the issue, but it has led me to something i believe may be the issue. I may have to go through the entire setup process again (If I can find which video i followed) and take better notes to document what is needed to keep the system running.
The NGINX Home Assistsnt SSL Proxy add-on had apparently not started after the backup restore (and subsequent restarts) even though the ‘Start on Boot’ and ‘Watchdog’ options had been set prior.
I noticed a few other issues after the restore, a couple automations that were triggered by one of my Chromecast Audio needed the entity reset, the name has been changed.
