Access your Home Assistant from anywhere
Remote access to Home Assistant usually means port forwarding, dynamic DNS, and security headaches. HARelay eliminates all of that.

Why no port forwarding?
Traditional remote access requires you to open ports on your router, exposing your network to the internet. HARelay works differently.
Our app (formerly add-on) creates an outbound connection from your Home Assistant to our servers. Since the connection goes out from your network (just like browsing a website), no ports need to be opened. Your router's firewall stays intact.
