      If Homekit hub is in IoT vlan, what rules are needed for clients to access the hub?
      Will this be easier than having separate vlans?

        As far as I know, none. If the FW is not being traversed and you don't make any specific block or drop rules then all traffic is allowed.

        Will this be easier than having separate vlans?

        Sort of, I have 2 home hubs, one is on the same VLAN due to location, and the other (main one) can't be as it's plugged into my ethernet segment and wired and wireless are physically separate.

        That doesn't really answer any of my most recent questions though...
