I've a VLAN dedicated to IoT devices and, of course, HA can't discover them. Is it possible have them discovered by HA via MQTT? Create them manually it's a pita because they're a lot and I would have to create sensors/switches + battery level + RSSI Thanks!

I've added an extra NIC that is in the IoT VLAN, but there are no new devices. The NIC is ok, because I see that it gets the IP from the router. What can I check/run?

can you ping one of the IoT devices from the HA device on that new NIC?

can you manually add a device and HA see it/add it normally?

is there a firewall routing between HA and the IoT devices that might be blocking discovery somehow?

I can ping the devices. No firewall, the NIC is directly in the VLAN and the Proxmox firewall is off. How can I add a device manually? ...I'm just starting with HA.
