I’ve looked and being kinda newbie to both linux and HA. Looking for some guidance.
Wired is on one subnet while the wireless in on diff sub with all the IoT devices. Was wondering in detail how one might go about setting up the HA container to use only the wireless connection?
thank you much! Can’t wait to get this started!!!
I had this issue with my Homekit recently. I also have HA running on Docker on Ubuntu. In HA web UI, go to Settings → System → Network → Network Adapter and select your Wifi adapter & deselect ethernet adapter.
Home assistant container normally runs in host networking mode, and then just inherits whatever the network settings of the host are. If there are two subnets, it accesses all of them just like the host machine, and I’m not sure if you can isolate to one or the other
This could be a use case for a macvlan versus host networking. You can then give homeassistant container its own ip on your network, and then create a macvlan that only goes through the wireless connection . I haven’t run one myself but here’s more info on them.
