Question: Remote control devices from external servers?

[sooswastaken]

I am trying to control my devices with a custom voice assistant that will run on an external server. Is there a way to discover devices or connect them when not on the same network?

Thank you.

Yes, it is possible. The older devices use 9999/udp for discovery and 9999/tcp for communications. For newer devices that require authentication, the discovery port is 20002/udp with communications done via 80/tcp.
If you don't need discovery, you can pass the parameters for both protocols manually.

You didn't mention if you are planning to use the API or the cli tool, but for API access you can use SmartDevice.connect() and pass DeviceConfig with the wanted parameters.
