How many of you have an HA solution, which is open to the internet? (lemmy.world)

I'm running my own HA locally, in my house, but I would like to be able to access it also when I'm not home. So I've put it on my Zerotier One VPN, which works fine. Except for two things:

  1. HA no longer knows when I'm home - it thinks I'm always home;

  2. Other people in my household would also like to have remote access, but it's unrealistic to have them install and use the VPN.

So - can I just open it up, and rely on long, complex passeords? Or is that a complete no-go?

That kind of blows, I'm blessed with an ISP who doesn't discriminate against power users and I get it gor relatively cheap (~$15 per month)
