Some of the higher end switches can also do routing.  Most of the Cisco 3000 
series and higher support full routing with the proper code loaded on it.

I'm using a pair of Cisco 3650 stacks and they support routing.  That is how I 
configured the multiple networks.  The problem with putting IoT on a different 
network than other devices is that prevents the auto discovery.  For devices 
that are static and don't need to discover anything, they can go on another 
vlan.  However it seems to be easier for home setups to just make a larger 
subnet like a /22 or /21.
