There have been some discussions on this topic both on this forum and other places, and my impression was that some people were able to achieve this goal, whereas others couldn’t.
My HA in a VM on VLAN 20 in Proxmox, whereas my Sonos system is on VLAN 80. I would like to be able to control the latter with the former. To achieve this, I added a new network card to the existing VM and put it on VLAN 80. After fiddling with configuration a little, was able to get the following output from HA:
I am now stuck here. When I try to add the Sonos integration, HA cannot discover it. Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Basically it is all about mDNS. To make your life easier, keep HA in the same network as the devices you want to discover. There isn’t much point in segregating on vlans if you have HA (which I assume is internet accessible) with one leg in each network, that does not give you any added security.
Devices integrated through cloud / internet you can keep on a seperate vlan.
Hello hakayova,
Segmented networks are not officially supported within HA.
HA is designed and expects a flat subnet to work as intended.
This is because every segmented network is different for IP’s and number of segments and firewalls and sharing rules and about 650495849085 other things.
This does not mean you can’t use them or that they can’t be made to work, it means that to get them working you are the support structure on your own subnet(s) and if you are asking for support in the future, you should disclose to the volunteer helping you that this is in use as it often changes the correct answers.
Please keep this in mind when you are trying to do this kind of thing.
