ESPHome connecting to HA over the internet.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
I have the office away from my home (HA-server ) I would like to ESPHome control an outlet, light, ETC in my office based on my home (HA-server ) .

**Additional context**
I know we can do this via MQTT,, I'm looking for a native API like a local setup solution

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing ESPHome's native API and the MQTT alternative in the context of remote Home Assistant connections; done would mean ESPHome can connect to a remote HA server over the internet with a native API rather than MQTT.
