My agent moves my smart home devices between networks so I do not have to open every app

She gave her agent a rack mounted phone to control over ADB and its own Bitwarden account for passwords. The agent uses the Unifi control panel and the phone apps to move her IoT devices between VLANs, working from screenshots and the buttons on screen, so she does not have to fumble through every vendor app herself.

How it works

  1. She racks a Fairphone 6 for the agent to drive over ADB
  2. She shares device passwords through the agent's own Bitwarden account
  3. The agent works the vendor apps on the phone and the Unifi panel
  4. Devices get moved between VLANs

Why it’s worth knowing

The agent has its own password vault and its own phone, and it taps through the same annoying apps a person would.
