Wifi connection only with visible SSID

I use separate SSIDs (and VLANs) for iot and entertainment devices. My ESP32 Bluetooth modules (CP2102) will unfortunately only connect to their WiFi when the SSID is visible.

You need to add fast_connect: true into the wifi config.

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid_iot
  password: !secret wifi_password_iot
  fast_connect: true
  # Enable fast_connect for hidden wifi networks

Thank you, @gregcsw
fast_connect: true does indeed do the job.
I appreciate your help!
