Private ip-address range

Maybe it’s nice to have a configuration setting in which you can set a private ip-address range like:

http:

  • private: 192.168.0.0/24

If you connect with a private address you are not prompted with a password.

This can be handy in the following example:

I made my home-assistant instance available from the public internet, so it is password protected. But when other members of the family or even guests are connecting thru our private address space they are also are prompted with the password (they don’t know it).

Fyi you can do this with a reverse proxy like nginx. I have nginx exposed to the internet with authentication and it proxies to ha which does not have a password, so local users are not prompted.

I’m aware of that. But thought maybe it’s a nice feature for home assistant.
