Hm, how is this more secure than what Meep is doing?
I mean... TLS and everything but this still requires you to open up your
server machine to the internet and as security issues are this should at
least involve staying up to date with known security issues in e.g. your
TLS client on a daily basis because, you know, these big security issues
that made the news in recent years were all about issues in security
software like OpenSSL...

So if such an issue shows up again (or it's not yet fixed on your NAS)
you can fall victim to port scan attacks with such a setup. Not too
likely but possible, some such bugs have been around (and used!) for
years.

I think the only thing being more secure is a solution where LMS only
does outbound communication, that is: a plugin that connects to Alexa
(or some intermediate service) and polls.
