This. I have a Garmin watch and it works perfectly with Gadgetbridge.

Bummer that it doesn’t have voice chat yet in the self hosted version. Hopefully soon - I would probably switch if they had that.

I dropped it after the devs response was to be silent about what actually happened “to focus on the f-froid builds”. It’s still unclear, and because of the way they’ve set up the GitHub repo, it’s still possible for the apk to be compromised.

I know, but it seemed like there was confusion about my intended point, which is that you should never expose it to the open internet. It wasn’t a question I really intended to be answered since I know that was their intention. My confusion is why do that when there are secure alternatives, some of which are easier than opening a port.

There are far better, more secure ways to do this. You could use a reverse proxy. You could use tailscale. You could use wireguard.

The last thing you should do is open Frigate’s port to the net.

I’m not sure why anyone would want to expose Frigate of all things to the open internet.

Zigbee and Z-Wave will, they don’t even use wifi like some Matter devices do.

I’m still waiting for a structural engineer :x

So, I still just have bare, partially rotten studs just chilling

Thank you.

Absolutely. I’m not against having him come take a look. Just unfortunate, I guess.

Yeah… I figured this would be the correct course of action. Just sucks since I’m at risk of losing my job. Although it would definitely suck more if I accidentally collapsed my porch into the basement.
