I am aware of the service, but I don’t want yet another subscription if I can avoid it. I am happy to donate to the HA team, but I’m slowly but surely moving away from subs. I will eventually get rid of HomeKit and in general the whole Apple ecosystem if I can sufficiently satisfy my needs with self-hosted services.
That is how you donate to the HA team
Don't think of it as a subscription then. Think of it as a recurring donation to the HA devs. Nabu Casa IS the HA devs.
I'm the same as you about subscriptions, but I make multiple small donations (recurring monthly) to Open Source projects that I believe in. I put Nabu Casa ($6-ish/month) in that group. And remote access is stupid simple when you do.
I guess I’ll give it a try at least, that would solve my problem somehow.
