Well, yes, that's what those cheap "smart" devices do. Or does anyone think cheap smart would fit into that device? Rule of thumb: if a device needs internet access, it is spying on you.

!homeassistant@lemmy.world on a isolated vLAN is my goal for "Smart" devices.

Yes, but some devices simply don't work without calling home, or have 99% of their brain in a cloud. For those cases, the vLAN does not help.
