It sounds like an excellent feature to me. I’d pay for that.

I’d say they’re charging too little.

They upped their pricing to 6.5 USD last month.

Aside from the friction-less remote access they also provide friction-less Google/Alexa integration.

It's documented how to set this up yourself if you don't wanna pay them to manage it for you too.

That right there is the best way to go. Everything in the open, everything can be self-hosted, but you can pay for the convenience of someone else doing it.

I’d normally have done that myself. But considering that having them handle it also funds Home Assistant development, it was actually pretty easy to decide for.
