I have RPi's with wireguard all over my house hooked to various devices (cameras, boiler, lawn watering system, pool filtration, temp/hygro sensors, centralized home automation hub, home assistant, etc...).
Can connect to them from anywhere in the world to check what's going on with my house and in some cases act on it.
They also gather every possible piece of data they can get their hands on and log that to a centralized, off-site InfluxDB instance so I can ramp up a grafana instance and check what's been happening in the last <time period>.
Convergence of a few things that happened relatively recently to make this possible / easy:
1. Wireguard: all my computers and it thins are on the same virtual LAN
2. Pi 4 has a *way* better Wifi antenna and can sit quite far from the Wifi router and still be very useful.
3. Grafana
4. InfluxDB
