Nope. 2.5km or so but in a dense populated city 😁

I’m interested in your terrifying view though. Maybe I’m missing something, this is roughly what’s in my head now: (1 is my home, 2 is a a cloud server, 3 is my parents)

• 1: pushes the relevant entities to 2. Read only.
• 2 received the data. Validation here is a token system with permissions. I’m going to use my SaaS to do this given it already has this in place
• 2 is storing the values in a database
• 3 gets notified of the new values with web hooks. Again by 2, something I have yet to build in de SaaS but will be needed anyway
• 2 can sanitize the values when needed. It will absolutely do validation and verification and such
• 2 is very secure and is the only one who will do write, only to his own db
• I’m not sure if 3 would be able to react to entities directly on 2 but I will investigate this. If not I can push the values
• we make a read only graph on 3 that just displays the values.
• I’m now thinking that doesn’t even have to be on 3 yet, I can just make a very secure view for them in the SaaS. With login and things, something that I already have. I can use an iFrame to let them view it in a dashboard of HA
• later we could do automations when needed but that is not that urgent given I work from home and my parents are retired.

For me this seems very secure, more so given we mostly have read only things. maybe there is something I’m missing?

Sidenote: we have Smappee as well and can access each others home through their app. We can use this at first but it would just be cool to make this flow. I for one don’t want to be this dependent of some vendor, if you know what I mean…
