Hi everyone

So, that's a 2 in 1 post. First a more general question then looking for advice for a friend.

  • What is your preferred way to access HA from outside (and why)?

  • a friend of mine use duckdns and I often read (recently) that some people are having issue with it. Is wireguard a better way or another solution that is not too techy to deal with?

That is useful but I guess you can't get HA app notifications unless you toggle that setting on your phone? You are using telegram or else for that purpose?

I don’t get any notifications from HA. I also don’t really use HA away from home. Just convenient for me to log in and check temperatures, make sure I have lights off, etc.
