I have an electric power strip managed on Android with Smart Life.
With this I turn my PCs on and off even when I’m not at home.
However, I don’t like that the Smart Life server is abroad, probably in China.
I would therefore like to replace it with Home Asisstant and I see that I can install it on TrueNAS SCALE and obviously on Android.
The problem is that the NAS is also connected to the electric power strip and if it is off the app on the NAS is obviously not active.
I wonder if with the app on Android I can still turn it on by controlling the electric power strip.
SmartLife relies on an external server, but I noticed that sometimes it works even when the Internet connection is absent.
Maybe even with Home Assistant there is no need to always have the server active, but I have never used Home Assistant.
Can you give me some advice?
