Home Assisstant Access

I know it sounds dumb but can anyone tell me ways to access home assistant on Iphone without having to open virtual machine on my laptop? Thank you!

You want to access home assistant when home assistant is not running?

Yes that does sound rather :crazy_face:

Buy a pi4 and leave it on 24/7. They don’t use a lot of energy.

DuckDNS, is a method for accessing your Home Assistant remotely.

Alternatively for $5 a month you can use Home Assistant Cloud / Nabu Casa. It is a lot easier to set up, more secure than opening ports in your router, helps if you have voice assistants, comes with a nice tts.cloud_say service, and the profits go to help supporting Home Assistant development.

Thanks a lot. Can I come back from time to time to ask you questions? I’m relatively new in this thing.

There are always people here to help.
