Local vs Remote access

[rxritalin]

It would be nice to have an option that detects the connection of a specific SSID and switches the app into using the HASS server's local IP. This would cut down on latency, as well as preventing unnecessary data usage (no matter how small) on the WAN connection.

The addition of 3 fields and a bit of logic would be all thats required.

1. SSID field - A comma separated value field would be all thats needed to take care of mySSID, mySSID-5g and mySSID Guest
2. Local IP field
3. External address field.

If 'mySSID" is connected use 192.168.1.x, if not use https://ha.mydomain.com

A 4th option (toggle or radio) to set the server to Away/Home would be icing on the cake.

Agree!!!

Your router may support NAT reflection, or if it's a decent router, custom DNS entries. Just as a workaround / simpler config if you have multiple devices.
