Rather than running ethernet in the house (we did when we built)…I was thinking about those who don’t have ethernet options to insure their ST hub is sufficiently spaced from their high powered wireless routers. Would the power line ethernet be sufficiently clean for ST to run through an outlet fur…

It’s not officially supported, but some people have hacked a way around it: [image] POE for my Smartthings Hub Projects & Stories Has anyone created or purchased a solution to power their hub via POE? I plan to relocate my hub to more central location and would like to fo…

I was thinking more like you power the hub via the USB like normal, but you run your ethernet to the power line device plugged into the power outlet. So not POE per se like we use in the office to power our wireless access points…

Sorry, I’m tired tonight…powerline, not POE, understood. Might work, might not, you’d just have to try it. This will vary a lot from house to house.

[image] ehoffman73: Would the power line ethernet be sufficiently clean for ST to run through an outlet further away in the house? I think so; though I can’t speak from personal experience. I would read reviews of the various adaptor brands / models and look for low latency and general relia…

I forgot to mention that there have been some reports that a Z wave wall switch, in wall relay, or in wall receptacle may create interference on a circuit which can interrupt a powerline transmission on that same circuit. It doesn’t seem to be a problem just having zwave in the house. As long as t…

Hope this discussion helps others!

I’m using Powerline Ethernet extenders from Netgear for about 6 months now and It’s working great. I do have Z-Wave and ZigBee Switches (plug-in not in wall) connected to the same circuit. Tonight I’ll move my ST Hub to another room, where I do have Ethernet ports available, just out of curiosity,…

If you’re not already having problems with your zwave switches, I don’t think they’re likely to develop. :sunglasses:

I have TP-Link powerline extender for my v1 hub. My z-wave was fine but pretty much all my 110v zigbee receptacles went down after a couple hours with the extender running. That’s with the WiFi option turned off and the extender on a different circuit from the zigbee receptacles but on the same p…

Wouldn’t powerline introduce the possibility of a surge into the Ethernet port of SmartThings or whatever it’s connected to for that matter?
