It just means you need to figure out how to route between them, that’s all.

You get a gateway, and you get a gateway.

Everybody gets a gateway!

It’s going to haunt you for years. Wife: “why doesn’t this iot thing work?” Oh its on the wrong network. “I don’t understand it just doesn’t work”. Then I go add more exceptions in pfsense and the cycle continues.

The correct way of doing this is to never interact with an iot device directly. Put all of them on the same network with Home Assistant and then control all of them only via Home Assistant. Then you make one exception for home assistant to be accessible to the other networks.

This also allows you to disable Internet access for every single iot device Except home assistant.

I have a Mikrotik router, 2x VLAN-enabled switches, and 3x VLAN-enabled APs. My Internet access broke every day for a month while I figured out what I was doing.

Managed switches are the way to go. I have various segments and none talk to each other.
