23.7 Legacy Series / Home Assistant, Matter, Aquara Hub, and HomeKit Woes on different VLANs
« on: October 27, 2023, 07:27:44 pm »
Hi,
I've been trying to get matter to work on Home Assistant for my Aqara Hub.
The setup I have for my Opnsense is below:
Aqara Hub E1 - VLAN for IoT
Home Assistant - VLAN Main (for all other non IoT devices)
Below are my devices and setup in their relative VLAN
Apple TV - (VLAN Main)
iPhone - (VLAN Main)
Home Assistant Server - (VLAN Main)
Aqara Hub E1 - (VLAN IoT)
What rules/configuration I have for my Opnsense is below:
- mDNS repeater - On
- mDNS FW Rules to allow UDP 5353 traffic as a floating rule - On
So at the moment I am kinda running out of ideas how to troubleshoot this. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.
