I'm reading how a separate VLAN for your IOT devices is more secure and makes your overall network better so I'm looking into doing so with my Unifi network. What considerations should I take when it comes to my devices connected to Home Assistant?
I have the usual stuff, Alexa, vacuums, lights, streaming devices, ect on Wi-Fi with TVs, other streaming devices, AV equipment and my servers all wired. What kind of things should be included? Should the WiFi items have a separate WiFi SSID? Along those lines, I have 4 strategically placed APs (my house had terrible wifi dead spots), should I have separate SSIDs for different areas of the house to keep devices from roaming from AP to AP? Anything else I need to consider to allow HA to talk to all of these devices?
Thank you in advance!
