I'm trying to figure out how to configure HA/networking to support the following scenario:
Orbi mesh network with two subnets 192.168.1/24 & 192.168.2/24
IOT devices are isolated on the 192.168.2 network
Want to setup things so that:
Probably pretty simple, but network stuff is pretty opaque to me and fives me a headache.
Thx in advance

The simple answer is to move HA to that subnet
Otherwise it depends on what those devices are, and what the integration is
If it allows you to enter an IP then as long as you can route packets there (and back) you'll be fine
If it uses SSDP/discovery/broadcasts then you need some magic to relay packets, and it may still not work

The HA controller has 2 interfaces - one for each subnet. Does that automatically allow HA access to the 192.168.2 net's devices or is there HA configuration needed to specify which interface to use for device access?

I assume you're running Home Assistant OS?

Yes on a Pi

You've got a second interface?
It's connected to that subnet and has an IP?
Or are you messing with VLANs

Correct. The HA system network settings show 2 adapters selected. - eth0 on 192.168.1 and wlp1s0u1u1 on the 192.168.2 subnet

Then, if it's connected, it should work...

Beginning to figure out the questions...
SSH'd into HA controller. System info shows 3 interfaces one on .1 and 2 on .2.
However, a ping to any device on the .2 network fails.
Looking at the routing table shows the following:
default a0d7b954-ssh.lo 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
172.30.32.0 * 255.255.254.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
I'm guessing I need to add a route?? If so how?

Check there

I think I got it.
The key was adding a static route as outlined here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/declare-a-static-route-to-reach-other-lan/311442
