Hello, me too in the same point. There is a app named spector desktop that promsses connect hardwallet to the node, includind the ledger. But i do not used yet, I do not know if it is thustful and secure.
Yes I would recommend specter, satstack looks like a pretty annoying set-up
Don’t bother trying to do this with Ledger Live and Satstack, or with HWI Bridge (Specter Desktop to Specter App on Umbrel).
Download Specter Desktop from the Specter website
In Specter Desktop preferences: Do you want to connect to a remote Specter? No, run Specter locally
Specter > Bitcoin Core > Existing Node found here , then click “Test” to verify if Specter Desktop is able to connect to your Umbrel.
Specter > Settings > Tor
Specter > Settings > USB Devices
Connect your Ledger to your computer and create a new device (Ledger), then a new wallet (Native Segwit, Segwit or both). After choosing the device, click continue, then select the: “Scan for existing funds” checkbox on the next screen. It’s probably better to scan the whole blockchain instead of UXTOs so it can pick up all your transactions.
You can now use Specter Desktop just as you would Ledger Live to check UXTOs, send and receive. You never have to use Ledger Live again.
And every past and future transaction can be viewed using BTC RPC Explorer and Mempool running on your node:
Specter Desktop > Preferences > General > Miscellaneous
Block explorer URL (main): Select custom, then enter http://umbrel.local:3002/ (BTC RPC Explorer) or http://umbrel.local:3006/ (Mempool)
Fees estimation source: Select Self hosted mempool.space, then enter http://umbrel.local:3002/ (BTC RPC Explorer) or http://umbrel.local:3006/ (Mempool)
