Alternative #1
Vibe code your own Nabu Casa
Build a personal subset for remote tunneling and backups, but keep paying for the real service. The hardest subsystem—building a globally secure, encrypted zero-config reverse proxy infrastructure that handles persistent WebSockets alongside third-party Alexa/Google OAuth bridges—requires deep systems networking engineering. Score: 35/100 (Serious undertaking).
