great video, decrease the radius of the drop shadow on the camera source. It's spread out a little more then it should. Should be a simple change in OBS.
Very informative video! My only question is. you mentioned 1:26 of the video that each AP should broadcast a different SSID for IoT devices near it. But why not just lock the IoT device to a specific AP and only use the 1 SSID?
Some devices, some common ones too like the google nest hub first gen, stop connecting to the ap if you lock them to it. It seems that they simply connect to the first AP that broadcast the desired SSID, but then the unifi controller blocks said connection, and they aren't "smart enough" to try the following one.
Thanks for watching! Typically, using MDNS and HomeKit. In this scenario, the HomePod or Apple TV lives on the main full access network and only MDNS traffic is allowed through.
@@hostifi I have sprinkler timers that get weather information and will watering based on weather (eg freeze or rain delay). Would love to know how to segregate IoT devices that need to access the internet, but should be segregated. Guessing following the same steps with the VLAN but allowing internet access and blocking main network access. Is this the case?

Ok thanks!
I have several amazon echos that refused to work on 2.4GHz.

Thanks for watching, some devices don't tend to behave well in that scenario. But it may work for some. Thanks for the question!

Thanks for the great vide. Is UXG pro required to prepare a similar topology? Can a similar topology be established with UniFi Express?
Hey thanks for watching, the settings in this video apply to any UniFi gateway, so the UniFi Express would also apply.
If NoT can’t access internet or local networks, how do you interact with it?

No it not ok for this purpuse. How to segregate IOT from the rest of your network?
Hey thanks, this is general IoT advice. We have a video in the works which will show you how to segregate everything correctly. Stay tuned!

Thanks for spotting this error!
Bro skips mDNS and blocks all the things. Not very nuanced and not really suited to most situations for IoT controllers on a separate VLAN.
mDNS is allowed through, even on fully locked down VLANs.
@@hostifi *If* you enable mdns across networks (auto creating the firewall rules)
another one that yammers on. Why cant these videos just get to the fucking point?
