Setting Up From A Remote Computer
Hi, I want to set up the client from a remote PC, so, there is no local api, I used Nabu Casa server instead. Is there any way to help the system to discover the device? Because I have tested the online link from the client, and it can discover all the devices in my home assistant system. Many thanks.

What features are you using?
Or wanting to use?
Because the majority of them require mqtt
I only want to use the sensors feature
Yeah you will need mqtt, we do have the local API I can help you setup but can't guarantee that will be maintained in the future
Also, if you are trying to use this simply through nabu casa you will only be able to view ha items in quick actions and webviews
Nothing else works without a proper connection the wifi
So you either need to use a RP(riskier option) or a self hosted VPN(the one I use, password protected with modern encryption)
This isn't a limitation of hass.agent but rather a limitation of the internet system and security the entire world uses
