I had them connected to an injector for this pic while I wait for the sun to come up in order to drill a hole in the floor but the switch says these are only drawing about 15W at maximum brightness when I plug them in directly. My PoE++ ports supply up to 64W so 👍
I could probably put that together but it would take a little more hardware. I can control the power to each switch port manually from my phone but the default behavior when the light first receives power is to stay off until a button is pressed so I'd also have to bypass or override the controller/timer. I'm just glad I had this 12V PoE splitter lying around that I bought for something else and never used or the lights would have sat in a box while my plants went hungry.

Is this the internet of things

Yes, and it's also photosynthesis by proxy.

I hope you're using a VPN, a proxy isn't secure. Don't want to get caught pirating photosynthesis.

POE is the shit.

as long as you don't add enough lights to exceed current ratings, you're good to go

Photosynthesis over Ethernet

What would be cool is if there was an api or snmp call to turn it on or off.
