I pay for the Nabu Casa subscription for remote access to Home Assistant. Mostly as a way to give them money for a great service, but it’s convenient and felt pretty secure. It should be the only remote way into Home Assistant. About an hour ago I got a login attempt notice that an IP was trying to access API/config. The IP is in some bad IP databases. What I found interesting was that the log shows an AI bot. A Google Gemini bot specifically. Makes me worry that AI is going to make yet another aspect of life frustrating and unfun.

I opened the door to all these Nazis and now there’s no room for me…
I have several of these set up. Mostly for opening windows to reduce AC use. If the temp outside is dropping and is within two degrees of interior temp, then it’s time to open the windows. And the inverse during autumn to close them. I could have saved you some time probably.
