You aren't the only annoyed one!

In 1980, Stallman and some other hackers at the AI Lab were refused access to the source code for the software of a newly installed laser printer, the Xerox 9700. Stallman had modified the software for the Lab's previous laser printer (the XGP, Xerographic Printer), so it electronically messaged a user when the person's job was printed, and would message all logged-in users waiting for print jobs if the printer was jammed. Not being able to add these features to the new printer was a major inconvenience, as the printer was on a different floor from most of the users. This experience convinced Stallman of people's need to be able to freely modify the software they use.

Yep this is the way. What OP wants can't be done with DNS.

I don't run any zwave, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I don't notice any delays. Tbh things feel snappier and more reliable, but I was previously using like a 50 foot usb cable lol. I don't think it would function any differently, in terms of stability, than zigbee2mqtt because Z2M actually uses ser2net as well to accomplish this.

You can use a remote adapter with ZHA as well. See my guide.

I use them too, but have a few complaints and am thinking about switching.

1. Dynamic DNS doesn't support ipv6 addresses

2. You have to have a $50 account balance to use DNS based dynamic dns

3. Buggy DNS editing. (Try to create a SRV record then edit it later. It never works properly. Always have to delete and make a new one)

I had to stop using it for now. I need the autocorrect bad. I'm using a build of open board I found that has swipe for now until Floris updates.
