How To Visualize Homelab Networking?

Card image cap

I have a decent HomeLab with a Lot of Home Assistant going on etc. and I am kind of losing the overview over IP-Adresses, Ports, Vlans, which switch port does what
In my Case i am not network admin so omada console or sth like this is no option.

So how to document the Networking?

I found Netbox
(which is incredibly detailed, but also requires every switch port to be entered, every device type, device role, site, locaiton, facility etc.) - too much for me

The other thing I know for this is Powerpoint

so please help me find something good haha

Here the details on my Home lab for anyone interested

Vlans: Core, Home, Smart, Business, Guest
Network Devices:
- Hue Bridge
- Mini PC ThinkCentre -> Proxmox Host
- Home Assistant OS on Proxmox
- Paperless NGX on Proxmox
- My Personal Computer
- My Dads Home Assistant(because what does he do if I move out soon lol)
- Bosch Smart Home Controller
- Synology NAS
- Some POE Zigbee sitck idk
- Huawei Sun 2000 Solar stuff+ Wallbox
