Hi,
I would like to create a VLAN for my IoT devices. But I'm not sure what device I should put in it.
My devices are :- Camera
- Zigbee devices
- Smart TV
- Sonos speakers
- Play Station 4
- Multimedia Reader
- Automower
- Smart Phones
- Printer
- Nintendo Switch
What do you think should I put in my vlan?
I will put :- Camera
- Zigbee devices
- Automower
- Smart TV ?
- Sonos speakers ?
Thanks

To start I would only move things to a different VLAN that do not need to broadcast to talk to something you do not plan on moving. For instance, if you move the TV but not the phones, then you cannot cast from the phone to the TV.
Cameras are known to be built with questionable security, they are good candidates to isolate.
You may also find that having more than 1 isolated network to be useful. My cameras and NVR are in one, and Alexa and plugs are in another.

Assuming all these devices are connected via wifi, my approach is to put all within a wifi SSID, which don't need to connect to any other. In this SSID I prohibit communication between stations on the AP.
Access to other network segments is restricted on pfSense, if even any needed.
