No POE = Deal breaker for me
Although it's a very promising start. Looks great.
What's POE, precious?
Power over Ethernet
Deploy ‘em, mesh ‘em, stick ‘em in your room
PO-E-yo?
You could always use a POE splitter. I know it’s not the same but it’s better than yet another wall wort.
It's USB-C, there are POE adapters. It's low wattage using an esp32, you could absolutely use a USB c poe splitter for this.
It doesn't even have Ethernet, how could it have poe? Also poe is just stupidly expensive for what it is.
Exactly. No Ethernet + no POE. That's my point. WiFi only is a big no-no for me.
Ahh I see, I was thinking you already had POE ran somewhere and didn't have other power options there.
