Hi all! I have a HA server in my LAN and all my IoT devices are in a separate VLAN. In this way to insert all the devices I have to configure them all manually using MQTT commands. Since I’m fed up about this method, I’ve added a second NIC to the HA VM (Proxmox) that is in the IoT VLAN. When I enter the terminal I see that HA has 2 IPs, one for each network and I thought that all the Shelly (they use the same MQTT broker that uses HA, they’re not configured for cloud connection and ColoT is enabled) devices would appear in HA, but…they don’t. How do you think that I can troubleshoot this problem?
I run a number of Shelly devices on an iOT vlan with opnsense, but I used the integration- could that be an option?
I found a couple of the shelly devices (the humidity & temperature sensor and the smoke alarm) needed to be able to access HA to send updates so I created an opnsense alias to allow them just to access the ip it’s on. I could see MQTT being useful for these maybe?
I also have a couple of plugs and plus 1pm’s that just sit isolated on the vlan and get accessed by HA from the LAN. The integration was super easy to setup for these.
