Since you only want the home machine, check the mac address? After all, you cannot be sure it is something you can log in to but it has to be something you can ARP. Of course, you need a tool that can do an ARP on the local network.

Alternatively, since you can log into your own host, just "ssh -n nas_host uname -n" with PPK authentication.
