I have so much trash on my network. For instance my security cameras are decentralized and we use tinycam on android to view them so I had to allow an exception for rtsp to get between the dirty iot WiFi and our normal WiFi. Our WiFi connected Bose speakers and Spotify is also another set of annoyance, they will only work if you try to connect to them from the same subnet via Spotify and app. I’ve tried to NAT the traffic and it didn’t work.
It’s not easy but they only way to make it all work without creating massive security holes is to only buy things that allow connection with open standards (which means home Assistant can connect to it.
