Changing Network Subnet-Size

Hey guys,I am having an issue with a commercial network. I have a variety of differnet devices in a 255.255.255.0 subnet and am running out of space. There are a few devices that are fixed that I have no access to: fire-alarmig module, break-in module, climate sensors ee. are fixed to an ip and the 255.255.255.0 subnet. What happens if within my controller (using UniFi) change the network scope from 192.168.0.1/24 to 192.168.0.1/16, or 255.255.0.0? Will the devices with the fixed ip and the /24 scope still have service? I have never done this before.

Cheers!

Edit: The thing is, some devices I can control (such as clioent PCs) need to access at least one of the fixed IP devices (a bulding control device). Tahnks a lot for the VLan approach, I really should have mentioned that!
