# Google/Cast IoT Test Failure and Rollback — 2026-05-23

Purpose: record the failed Chromecast/Plex discovery test after moving Google/cast-class devices to IoT, and the immediate rollback.

## Observed failure
User-tested result:
- Plex on Chromecast could not see the Plex server after the Google/cast batch was moved to IoT.

This is consistent with discovery/cast behavior breaking across the current segmentation boundary.

## Rollback action taken
I reverted the per-client virtual network override and kicked each client to reassociate back to its prior lane.

Rolled back devices:
- `dc:e5:5b:8f:57:d2`
- `3c:8d:20:f3:92:36`
- `90:ca:fa:b6:7f:6e`
- `f8:0f:f9:42:08:6d` (`Google-Home-Mini`)

## Verified post-rollback state
All four now show:
- network: `Old IoT`
- network id: `6963e11c1131084f054622f1`
- virtual network override: disabled

Observed IPs after rollback settle:
- `dc:e5:5b:8f:57:d2` -> `192.168.1.132`
- `3c:8d:20:f3:92:36` -> `192.168.1.192`
- `90:ca:fa:b6:7f:6e` -> `192.168.1.129`
- `f8:0f:f9:42:08:6d` -> `192.168.1.185`

## Interpretation
The current clean IoT placement is not yet compatible with Plex discovery/cast behavior for these Google devices under the present network/policy setup.

## Safe next options
1. Leave Google/cast-class devices on `Old IoT` for now.
2. Finish other cleanup first.
3. Later, if desired, design a narrow, intentional cast/discovery exception instead of broad trust expansion.
