home-assistant.io VS Ubiquiti

> What's the blocker here?

It's an open source project. Stuff generally gets worked on by people who care about features. You seem to care about this. https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io

As the next step the content of the image should be written to zvol. Might help: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/issues/25294

I found a very simple solution for this here:

Thanks for digging into this! Based on your response and the response from u/antirobot, it appears neither the ESPHome server nor the embedded client support wsMQTT (makes sense because I was looking in vain for an option to specify the connection type). It appears HA only recently added support for wsMQTT, so I'm not too surprised.

The LIFX doc update is here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/pull/22383

If coding isn't your thing, you can contribute to the Home Assistant Docs and help make tutorials and documentation more accessible. Make sure you read the contribution guidelines for understanding their contribution process. This team is super great to work with; I've already made a few contributions to their docs.

Just came across this mention of zeroconf fix in HA HomeKit bridge, might be helpful.

If you find any issues with the documentation, you can comment on the PR at https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/pull/15555

Another neat idea is to connect all “smart” equipment to an isolated vlan and separate wifi that can still be seen by your normal network devices.

For example if your wifi was called “Home”, an additional “Home-IoT” is for every device.

The IoT devices can then be set to not sniff your network, or even connect out if you want.

A good example of this is in this EdgeRouter setup guide, which is a pretty decent guide on how to plan a home network for more than just basic home browsing.

One extra step I’ve learned to follow is to verify if needed, could the hardware be permanently redirected to a local server, and worst case reflagged with a different firmware or it can be redirected to remain local. The latter is sometimes easier if it’s a Tuya based device, which a lot of these unknown devices are.

One of the main things these “smart” devices do is use your internet connection. It’s wise to create a dedicated _IoT suffixed wifi which can’t access your network or devices, but at the same time your other devices can ping them.

How?

This is a pretty solid guide of a home network setup here. It can be running a $50 EdgeRouter X or translated to other devices.

I followed this guy on Youtube and this guide on github to set up an Edge Router X. It was cheap and does all this, but was harder than I thought it would be to set up, even with a video guide.
