ER-X suitable for my weird set-up? Isolate IOT devices

Is it possible to configure the ER-X to allow devices on one VLAN to access devices on another but not the other way around?

 

I'm trying to set up my network so my various IoT / smart devices are as isolated as possible.  I think this is possible, but would appreciate a second pair of eyes.

 

WAN (Virgin Media SuperHub3 in Modem Mode)

|

|-0 ER-X (Acting as DHCP server)

  |

  |-1 Basic unmanaged switch for trusted devices

  |   |-UBI AC Pro (5GHz WiFi)

  |

  |-2 Basic switch for Internet only devices

  |

  |-3 UBI AP (2.4GHz WiFi separate network for IoT)

 

 

So far so good, right?  This is where it gets a bit complicated.  I'm a bit paranoid and don't trust the manufacturers of Internet connected kit.  So I think I want the following VLANs.

 

  1. Trusted devices. My laptop, servers, etc. Connecting to the Internet and each other.
  2. Internet only devices. My Xbox & PS4 need net access - but they don't need to connect to anything else, and nothing needs to connect to them.
  3. IoT devices. My WiFi security cameras need access to the Internet. I also need to connect to them from (1). For example, I want my tablet on (1) to be able to connect to my lightbulb on (3).  I don't want the lightbulb to be able to connect to my server - or anything else on (3).  (And, yes, I realise how ridiculous this is!)

Is this configuration impossible?

 

I'm assuming (1) and (2) are trivial.  Can I configure devices on (3) to be reachable from (1) and be isolated from each other?

 

Hope that makes sense!
