Nice, that guide is quite detailed. Btw, duckdns cant provide remote connection on its own. Wireguard can if you know your home IP. Since most users dont have static IP, they can use dynamic dns service like duckdns that tracks your home IP and nothing else. Many home routers also support dynamic dns and/or VPN server.

Mate thank you a lot for detailed answer

Oh thx, thats usefull. Im gonna do more research, but do you know what can I expect from appartment in new building in eu? Im about to move place in a month and im intersted in smart lights. Hopefully i can use smart switch like shelly 1. Its kinda confusing how to use smart bulbs with normal switch. I see myself spamming wall switch in a dark hehe. or maybe I just dont understand how it works yet

First sentance sounds like normal switch and bulb, but maybe i missunderstood you

May I ask why smart bulbs and not smart switch in case you dont need rgb? What happens when you turn off wall switch? Smart bulbs stop working?

Wireguard + duckdns is simple setup, but lot of people prefer tailscale cuz its even more simple to set up or they cant forward port or they might be behind cgnat. I just dont like additional company between me and my server, so im avoiding it as long as I can

So no luck with roborock s7 maxV? That device looks promissing, but I never owned a robot. Can that one be fully controlled with home assistant? Is there any alternative vacuum/mopper with station for both? Looking for something like that even if its not fully offline.
