Before going with Reflector I was going straight to my IP, with firewall, port forwarding etc.
I'm hoping to use Alexa once upgraded to 2021.x.x. I've been reading/researching before jumping off the cliff and found that the Reflector is needed to make Alexa work. Unless I've read it all wrong of course.
Reflector traffic may be a concern, but since I don't do much, if any, image transfers it may be a non issue. The only thing I'm using/concerned about, however slightly, is a control page for my DSC Alarm Panel. First outing was today and I noticed Indigo Touch went on pause after a brief time. I assume that's normal so as to keep traffic within reason.
Finally my question
If I leave my direct access up as well as WiFi and Reflector do I have to do some manual switching in Indigo Touch when I leave my LAN/WiFi?
To put it another way, what is the best configuration to use my Public IP when away from home yet WiFi and Alexa when at home.
Hopefully I'm just overthinking
