  • I did this using a POE switch to both power the cameras and also have that entire switch on a VLAN. On my OPNSense, that vlan only has permission to send or recieve packets to home assistant which is on my main LAN. They have no other access to anything including each other on the camera vlan.

    Other than the initial setup, the only interaction I have with the cameras is via home assistant. This allows them to be completely isolated and still have remote access as per usual with home assistant.

    My HA is using the all in one VM setup on Proxmox. I would highly recommend HA installed as a VM rather than Docker due to the ease if installing plugins. After that the above setup will keep your IOT devices nicely isolated.














  • Web app is probably best. That makes it easy to share with other members in the family so anyone can check off a task once done. Also having tasks pile up when they are not done is also very useful so you can see the backlog. It’s close to a calendar app but not quite optimized for something like this.

    Ideally tasks could have a description section that explains how to do it, like flushing the water heater could have be exact steps written for the heater tank that you have specifically avoiding the need to keep looking it up every year.

    There are several good webapps like this already, but they all are paid and locked in to their platform.
