Just one home? The official Nabu Casa Home Assistant Cloud is the best turnkey choice for a single home — and it directly funds Home Assistant development. HomeTunnel is built for managing several.
A complementary choice

iOS & Android app
Enroll your phone as a client device for a home, connect peer-to-peer, and open Home Assistant over the secure tunnel. Multi-home users can switch which home the device is connected to, one home at a time.
Inside each home
Home Assistant add-on
The open-source add-on pairs with the Portal, joins the isolated mesh, and serves as the routing device for that home.

Questions worth asking.
Can HomeTunnel access my Home Assistant?
HomeTunnel does not possess the WireGuard private keys generated by your devices and cannot decrypt peer-to-peer traffic.
The HomeTunnel Portal operates as the control plane for authorization and routing. Access is limited by home ownership and server-side policies that explicitly configure routes for each isolated home.
Is HomeTunnel right for a single home?
HomeTunnel can be used with a single home. However, for most single-home users, we recommend the official Nabu Casa Home Assistant Cloud because it provides a streamlined, turnkey experience and helps fund Home Assistant development.
HomeTunnel is primarily designed for users who manage multiple homes and require separate devices, routes, and network policies for each location.
How is HomeTunnel different from a conventional VPN?
With many conventional VPN services, traffic is routed through the VPN provider’s servers before reaching its destination.
HomeTunnel uses the open-source NetBird platform to establish direct peer-to-peer connections between your device and your Home Assistant device whenever network conditions allow. When a direct connection is available, application traffic does not pass through a HomeTunnel relay server.
HomeTunnel also does not expose your entire home network. Home Assistant access is restricted to a single IPv4 address using a /32 route and TCP port 8123. Optional IoT routes are also restricted to one IPv4 host and one TCP port.
What should I do if I lose my phone?
Sign in to the HomeTunnel web app at https://my.hometunnel.io and revoke the lost phone’s access.
Revoking the device prevents it from continuing to access your HomeTunnel homes.
