Remote Assistant Installer

This Home Assistant Addon installs and updates the Remote Assistant Custom Component. This can also be done via HACS or via a installation script.

Here you find the main repository of Remote Assistant.

What Remote Assistant is

Remote Assistant helps you to access your Home Assistant interface from anywhere. Without fixed IP addresses and VPN. An SSH tunnel is created between your local installation and the Remote-RED servers, allowing you to access it with our app from outside your local network.

Remote Assistant is a paid service from Remote-RED, an app that has already helped thousands of Node-RED users to use their dashboard on the go.

It's a lean, simple and affordable solution if you just want to access Home Assistant from the internet. It doesn't have the functionality of the Home Assistant app or Home Assistant Cloud and doesn't aim to.
