Good morning I would like to solve a problem related to my Ha,
I have a system on rasberry pi connected to an eolo router and a strong atria 1200 mesh network with three satellites.
the router works on an address like 192.168. 1.1 same subnet as the raspberry and some other wifi components, but since the house is on several floors and the router signal does not reach everywhere I had to install a mesh network, which however works on an address 192.168. 7.254. this means that home assistant does not manage all the components connected to the mesh network at least locally. I would like to have all the components on the same subnet if I wire the various mesh satellites with ethernet cable leaving the eolo router the task of dhcp and disabling that of the mesh is this possible thanks?
Hi antonellopala,
That is what you should do, essentially put everything that needs to deal with Home Assistant including Home Assistant on the same network. I do that with all my set-ups, the ISP gives me a box, I Ethernet wire to my router and everything lives there.
If you have TV’s or Phones or things that you don’t want HA to know about, put them on the ISP’s side. Personally I don’t use that side except the one connection.
BUT that is a perfect place to have a guest network, they can’t hack your stuff.
Usually, there is a setting to put your mesh in “access point” mode, rather than “router” mode.
In AP mode, the mesh will use the same IP space as your main router, while in router mode, it will create its own IP subnet.
