My name is Lucas and I am a french new hassio user.
Recently, for a personal usage in a small apartment, I needed to create an autonomous hassio installation.
For this small area, I wanted to connect directly the wifi cameras (managed later by motioneye) directly to my raspberry. I think, this installation have a lot of advantages :
Security : the cameras are on an isolated network, without internet access and proxfied by the hassio server
Autonomous / ISP router independence : the directly connected devices to the pi are not dependent of ISP or other any router. If I change my principal router access, my hassio network configuration is not impacted
Low cost small installation : my hassio installation works only with a pi (tested on a pi 3 and pi 4)
That is why, I have created this addon :
Here is an example of an architecture possible with this addon :
When you mentioned “With this solution, your device will be in an isolated network without internet access but proxfied by your hassio.” Will hassio provide connectivity to the internet to these devices? Would it be possible to allow it?
It is possbile but, it is necesary to create a bridge beetween your wan interface and hotspot interface. It is not the base idea but possible with developments.
