 # lamp-control
 
+A simple project to control a Tapo lamp through a gateway.
+
+The gateway is hosted on a raspberry pi, with two VLAN interfaces configured.
+One of them is a passthrough to my ISP router, for interconnexion with the regular LAN and the internet.
+The other is a dedicated, isolated "IOT" vlan.
+
+The Tapo lamp is connected to a WiFi network that is bridged with the IOT vlan.
+It is not able to communicate with the internet nor with the LAN.
+
+Therefore, the gateway is the only way to control it without connecting to the dedicated network.
