Apple Home/HomeKit on a isolated network results in very slow IoT devices

Ok now everything is isolated, is working etcc..

BUT

Not the Netatmo Thermostat Relay and Weather Station :thinking: I've added them again to HomeKit but nothing, so I searched on the Netatmo and I've found this https://helpcenter.netatmo.com/en-us/smart-thermostat/connection-wi-fi-radio/advanced-network-troubleshooting-guide

Please check if your router has any firewall / port filtering. If so:

  • Open the 25050 port (TCP).
  • Assign the Wi-Fi module a static IP with its Mac address.

Now I've done also it and the Thermostat and Station are now connected and I can control them via Netatmo app or website BUT not from HomeKit :rage: I don't know what's going on with Apple protocols but these issues are mind blowing!

Edit: I solved the DHCP issue, I had to create a rule in order to reach the .5 subnet from the main LAN

config zone
	option name 'lan_to_iot'
	option input 'REJECT'
	option output 'ACCEPT'
	option forward 'REJECT'
	list network 'lan'

config forwarding
	option src 'lan_to_iot'
	option dest 'iot'

Now the only issue that I can't solve, is the Netatmo devices that are not working with Home app, I opened a new thread: Netatmo HomeKit native devices, not able to update iOS Home app when isolated (but work online/using Netamo app)
