Very neat - thank you for documenting this, especially the piece about using Avahi to place the HomePods on a different VLAN. This is something I'm planning to do but hadn't looked into yet, so this will save me a lot of effort.
Just out of curiosity, that's the black box in your cabinet balancing on the metal cones?
- gertrunde 4y agoGoing from the earlier instalments (v1/2/3) - I suspect it's the ISP modem. (And I'm guessing the metal cones are there to lift it off the flat surface for more airflow).
- giuliomagnifico 4y agoExactly, the metal cones are 3 unused audiophile spikes. Perfect fit inside the holes of the bottom of the modem.
- blitzar 4y agoV1/2/3 are pretty handy for figuring out the other stuff too.

This is something I'm planning to do but hadn't looked into yet, so this will save me a lot of effort. Yes, it's very easy if you use Avahi, but it's important that you're using VLANs and not subnets, because I had lots of troubles using a separate subnets for iot devices and the HomePod in the main subnet. You have to add a route on the router and tweaks the firewall. Using vlans instead is easier and faster. >Just out of curiosity, that's the black box in your cabinet balancing on the metal cones? Italian ISP modem "unfortunately". If you see the network scheme you can understand better: https://giuliomagnifico.blog/_images/2023/home-network_v4/Rete%20casa.png https://giuliomagnifico.blog/_images/2023/home-network_v4/Re...
- syntaxing 4y agoWait, does this work with HomePod minis? My current mDNS works with my network, my issue is the HomePod mini automatically jumps back to the same wifi as my phone.
- giuliomagnifico 4y agoYes absolutely, but your iPhone and the HomePod should be on the same/main vlan, not the HomePod on the IoT vlan.
