Hello everyone!
I have a question I can’t work out how to answer.
I have a little dinosaur that I’ve modified to have an ESP8266 running WLED inside.
He looks cute, no? (I’m not actually uploading a photo because it doesn’t actually matter what it looks like!)
I want to give this dino-light to a friend so they can take it home and have a cute dino-light.
But I also want to be able to control the dino-light from my Home Assistant.
(The idea is we each have a dino and we can each control the other dino and send “messages” via the light colour, effect, etc.)
But how do I make HA talk to the WLED on another network?
WLED doesn’t (yet) support WireGuard, so I can’t just have it tunnel back into my network.
I have tried setting up a Pi Zero W as a gateway between the “remote” WiFi and my home network via WireGuard. The dino light connects to the Pi Hotspot fine, but I cannot see it or connect to it from my home network, and HA certainly doesn’t automatically discover it.

It’s probable that I’ve done something wrong! Please point this out if I have!
Has anyone done something like this before?
Do you have any tips on making something like this work?
