You should be able to get a Lets Encrypt certificate for such devices, even
if they have private IP addresses, provided they have names in the Global
DNS.

The DNS-01 protocol (rather than HTTP-01) will allow you to prove the
ownership of those names with DNS records.


Then it's "just" a question of working out how to upload those certificates
in a more-or-less automated way to the devices themselves...



Best wishes,
