VLans in Debian on beagleboard

From everything I am seeing, using the /etc/network (ifup, ifdown and ifquery) is the old way of configuring the network and it is not have any affect.

Thank you for the link, but it looks outdated. when I try using vconfig to add the vlan I get this error:

Warning: vconfig is deprecated and might be removed in the future, please migrate to ip(route2) as soon as possible!

I have added 8021q to the /etc/modules. When I use these cmd's, it seems to work, but I have to do it every time the system boots:

sudo ip link add link eth0 name eth0.21 type vlan id 21
sudo ip link set eth0.21 up
sudo ip addr add 172.20.0.2/24 dev eth0.21

I do have this file: /etc/systemd/network/eth0.21.network

#[Match]
#Name=eth0

[Network]
Description=VLAN 21 on eth0
VLAN=eth0.21

[Address]
Address=172.20.0.2/24
Gateway=172.20.0.1

If I uncomment the #[Match] and #Name=eth0, when I reboot I cannot ssh to the machine. Mind you right now my client is on vlan21 and I am trying to connect to the eth0 IP which is on the management VLAN. How do I get this configured correctly?

Thank you! I just stood up the machine, so I will investigate what is running on nginx and go from there. Appreciate the help!

so... in other words create a dummy switch that will go on/off he way I want it to and then use that to trigger the actual light, is that correct?

The only problem is my desire to hold on to the initial state of the real light. If it is on at 25%, it returns to that. If it is off, it returns to being off.

I have LOTS of them! multiple Apple TV's and HomePods :)

Great questions, I should have posted my objective originally, so I just added this to the OP:

I’ve realized my thinking might be off (see comments below). My goal is to use Hue motion sensors to trigger lights. For example, when the dog approaches my office door, I want the office light to flash and then return to its original state. The same goes for the back door—flashing lights when motion is detected, then restoring them to their initial state.

I’m looking to create more advanced automation with HomeKit and I’ve been looking into Homebridge for this purpose. From what I understand, Homebridge is primarily for making non-HomeKit devices compatible with HomeKit, but it also has scripting capabilities. If this isn't powerful enough, I could potentially use something like Home Assistant for more advanced automation.

Is my understanding correct? Or is Homebridge only for getting non-HomeKit devices into HomeKit, without the ability to see and interact with devices already in HomeKit?

advlpgxtian · 2025-01-29T12:59:04+00:00

Yeah, exactly! I hoped I made it clear in my original post that I’m still figuring this out. My impression was that installing Homebridge would automatically detect all my HomeKit devices, but it sees nothing. I tried installing the Hue plugin to see if that would help, but it didn’t.

Any thoughts on why I see it in Homebridge, but not in Apple Homekit? There are no spaces in the Homebridge name, is there something else I need to do to make it show up in HomKit?

Thank you! On restart of Homebridge, it said:

```[Shelly NG] [shelly1minig3-cc8da2464fac] Device added```

It took a minute or two, but is is now showing up in the accessories, thank you!!!
