A service for people running Home Assistant who want to reach it from outside the house. It provides remote access, links voice assistants to your setup and adds AI help on top.
It assumes a Home Assistant installation already exists.

FAQ
Is it for all smart home users?
It is aimed at Home Assistant users. Without that environment the value is limited.
Can AI control devices?
It can assist in smart home scenarios, but device control should have clear permissions and confirmation.
Is remote access safe?
It depends on configuration. Accounts, encryption and permissions must be set correctly so devices are not exposed to untrusted access.
