Hi,
Is it possible to connect two independent routers to the same OLT of and ISP?
I already have a OLT gateway/router from my ISP, but I would like to install another router, not connected to the 1st one.
The reason is that I want to have one router to control lights and sensors in the house.
This router has to be independent from the 1st one, since the first one could be accidentaly disconnected.
Thank you!

With TV and phone from the ISP you are almost ALWAYS limited to using the ISP router. You can put a second router (LAN to WAN) behind the ISP router. Put any devices that you want to protect/isolate on that second router. All the devices associated with the ISP router will be treated like they are "the internet" and will be isolated from the devices connected to the second router.

I don't know what OLT is.

Independent, u asking for 2 separate WIFI signals?
Thank you for your answer!
Yes and physically not connected to each other.
OLT is a equipment from the ISP to implement an Optical Distibution Network.
The ISP also provides cable TV and telephone in the same optical line (FTTH).
 
Still not clear on your requirement, but here's some related items:

So basically you want 2 separate subnets. 2 disparate IP ranges.
If both subnets need internet access then a VLAN implementation.
If only one subnet needs internet access this can be as simple as fitting each machine which needs it with 2 NICS.
If your smart home devices don't need Internet access at all, they can have their own subnet just fine, and only one of your management PC needs access to both subnets.

Both subnets must have access to internet and can have 2 IP ranges, no problem.
Initialy I was thinking on spliting the ISP optical fiber in two, for two ONT routers (ISP router and one mine), but this seems to be not possible, since ISP register the serial number of each ONT for internet access.
The ISP router provides RF for TV and also telephone line, that must be available inside the house.
I need to provide Internet access, TV and telephone inside the house and I don't want to pay for two optical lines to ISP, since It's just one house.

In the first post I forgot to mention TV and telephone requirements, sorry about that.
