Hi,

I sometimes hear/read people putting their tv and other devices on a guest Wifi or even on a separate VLAN. Most guest WiFi’s also have client isolation. I can understand that desire but I’m always wondering how that works in real life.

If you have a TV on a guest Wifi, how can you still cast things to it, as I assume your phone is on a different Wifi.

If you put your heating a different VLAN, how can you control the heating from your server that’s on a different VLAN?

What’s your setup in this regard. Is it worth to split? And what do you split and what not?

    My guest WiFi’s vLAN has client isolation. And my IoT has the devices isolated with an exception ACL rule that allows them to access and be accessed by my home assistant server.
