I have been trying to connect to my mother in laws home assistant that I just stood up and I have been unable to connect to it. Mine at home uses ngnix and duckdns for its access but I set hers up to just use the built in Home Assistant Cloud. I have configured her router to port forward 8123 to the HA Green that is running there but I can’t connect to it from our HA using either the WAN IP nor the HA Cloud URL. From what I can tell the HA Cloud URL is just a proxy to her instance as the IP from the NSLOOKUP isn’t her WAN IP. What should I be doing to get these to connect so I can have a single pane of glass to manage it and give us push notifications if she has taken her pills yet, etc.
