  • my vacuum is defying discovery because of UDP crossing the subnets.

    This is likely more to do with broadcast addresses. The vacuum would be broadcasting it’s presence on its own subnet’s broadcast address (x.x.151.255), but homeassistant is only listening on it’s subnet broadcast address (x.x.150.255). As routers don’t usually let broadcasts cross subnets, I don’t think there’s a way for the host or VM to listen for them like this.

    You could setup vlans and hopefully VirtualBox supports passing through vlans, so that homeassistant would have multiple interfaces. Or like other people have said, just increase the size of the home assistant subnet so that it’ll overlap with the IoT subnet and the broadcast address would be the same, but some devices might not like responding to a device that’s on a different subnet to them, without a router.


  • I’ve debugged code in my dreams before, so I think dream reading is something that varies from person to person. Also I only have minor issues using computers and phones in dreams, like my typing sucks but it’s not too difficult, keyboard shortcuts don’t always do what I expect, etc; but I’ve heard of plenty of people who can’t use tech at all or don’t even dream of their phones.
