Open your Home Assistant from anywhere. With one command.
A secure HTTPS link to your installation - no VPN, no router tinkering, no static IP. Works behind CGNAT on mobile networks too.
- ✓One private HTTPS address
- ✓No VPN app for family members
- ✓Your router stays untouched
See it for yourself
A real setup from scratch: paste one command, get a link, open Home Assistant from your phone.
Three traps of DIY remote access to HA
Every tutorial online ends the same way - you stop being a smart home owner and become a part-time network admin.
VPN works, but complicates life
WireGuard or OpenVPN means an app on every family member's phone. Breaks when your ISP rotates your IP. Does Grandma also install a profile?
Port forwarding exposes your home
You opened port 8123 on the router - now bots across the internet hammer it every 30 seconds guessing your password. One weak update and you're in trouble.
Reverse proxy + dyndns is a second job
Nginx + Let's Encrypt + Cloudflare Tunnel + dyndns. Six tutorials, three config files, one broken cert and there goes your evening.
It doesn't have to be this way.
SmartHomeEntry: no open ports, no jargon. You install the agent with one command and get a permanent HTTPS URL.
Three steps. Zero router tinkering.
Set it up once and forget. No certificates, no ports, no dynamic DNS.
Subscribe
We generate your private HTTPS subdomain and an SSH keypair. You receive a one-line install command by email.
Paste the command into HA
One `curl` line in your Home Assistant terminal (Raspberry Pi, NUC, HAOS, Docker - works everywhere). The agent installs itself.
Open your link
Type `yourhome.smarthomeentry.com` from any network. HA loads. Done.
Zero router tinkering
You never touch router settings. Port forwarding, UPnP, DMZ - none of it needed.
Secure by default
Encrypted TLS + SSH transport. No password - just an SSH key per tunnel.
Works with any HA
Raspberry Pi, NUC, HAOS, Docker, your own server - same command everywhere.
Set once, keeps going
Change ISP, reboot the router - the tunnel reconnects. Your link stays.
Simple. Fast. Secure.
No jargon, no surprises.
Ready after one command
The install command takes about a second. The panel shows online on the first heartbeat.
Zero open ports
The agent dials out to our relay (outbound SSH). Your router stays closed - exactly as it was.
Real HTTPS certificate
`yourhome.smarthomeentry.com` with a trusted SSL cert. No more „don't trust this certificate” warnings for your family.
Works behind CGNAT
Mobile internet, locked-down ISPs, LTE routers - anywhere port forwarding fails, SmartHomeEntry just works.
Family without a VPN
Spouse, kids, housesitter - everyone just opens a link in their browser. No app, no setup, no explanation.
Same link after ISP change
Moving house, switching providers, rebooting the router - your address stays the same. HA always comes back online.
No jargon
Plain English. Clear pricing. No FUD.
No hidden costs
The price you see is all you pay - no surprise add-ons.
Support that gets it
Email us and get a reply from a Home Assistant user. Fast, human.

Tunnel metadata lives at OVH in Warsaw (GDPR-ready). We never log your traffic.
See locationZero open ports
The agent opens an OUTBOUND tunnel - like your browser reaching Gmail. Nothing at home is scannable from outside.

The agent code is public. Inspect it on GitHub, verify it, or build your own version.
View on GitHubOpen code, less risk
Published source means a larger community catches issues fast.
Transparent roadmap
Issues, milestones and discussions happen in public on GitHub.
No backdoors
You install the agent yourself - nothing hidden, nothing we can silently change.
Built with the community
PRs welcome - the agent improves with real Home Assistant users.

Frequently asked questions
No. The agent opens an OUTBOUND tunnel - the same way your browser reaches Gmail. Nothing on your home network is reachable from outside. Only you, via your private HTTPS link.
No. That's the whole point. No port forwarding, no dynamic DNS, no CGNAT workarounds, no static IP.
Yes, with every Home Assistant variant (Core, Supervised, HAOS), on Linux and in Docker. You just need terminal access and one `curl` command.
Yes - for mobile ISP users it's often the only solution that actually works. Port forwarding is physically impossible behind CGNAT; our outbound SSH tunnel goes out normally.
The agent auto-reconnects every 60 seconds. If HA itself is dead (e.g. dead SD card) - SmartHomeEntry shows live status, so you know immediately rather than hearing about it from family.
Yes. Monthly subscription, cancel from your account panel, no contracts, no fees. The tunnel runs through the end of the paid period.
