Configuration for HA https access (Asus AC68U built in DDNS service)

Configuration
1

Hi guys,

I’m trying to set up SSL encrypted DDNS access for my home assistant to use google assistant and to use HA remotely.

I got an easy way to get certificate files from my asus router and it auto updates (my domain: ***.asuscomm.com).

Now I exported the cert.pem and key.pem file from the router and imported these in my Synology nas which I now can use remotely with a green SSL icon in google chrome. Very easy.

I’m wondering if there is an easy way to do this in HA as well, I tried the letsencrypt plugin and also tried to add this to my config with the pem files renamed and added under config/ssl/**:

http:
  ssl_certificate: config/ssl/fullchain.pem
  ssl_key: config/ssl/privkey.pem

But these two options give me errors and I can’t get https to work. I’m a little bit confused why it works so easily on my Synology and is so hard on Home Assistant.

I hope anyone can help me out.

Got it up and running using this guide, there doens’t seem to be an easy way to do it with the asuscomm DDNS service;

I know this is an old thread but wanted to provide my experience for those who are looking for the same. All I did to get it working for me using my asuscomm.com ddns was by following the documentation for nginx home assistant ssl proxy and by exporting the cert from the asus router to my PC and copying it into the ssl folder on my ha installation. I am using an RPI but I think it should work for any type.

Hi

I just landed on this thread while looking for a solution

I’m still trying to connect to HA via 4G from the phone while I’m out.
I have an Asus AX57 router and the config menu has huge options… DDNS? that way I can access the router without WiFi

And the other options to access home assistant installed on a minipc with 192.168.0 4 internal IP? Could you please help/guide me?

Thank you
