Home Automation PoE with Arduino – in praise of DIY PoE!

Project description

The author of the article describes several advantages of using Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology for home automation. Firstly, PoE allows for both data and power to be transmitted over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for multiple cables and power outlets. This can simplify installation and reduce clutter, making it easier to set up and maintain home automation systems. Additionally, PoE can provide a more reliable power source compared to traditional AC power outlets. With PoE, the power is supplied from a central location such as a PoE switch, which can regulate the…
