Discussion topic: PoE enabled?

This message was authored by: DanielleB7 · ‎26 Sep 2022

Hello, I have received my new hub on Friday and it's set up and working great. However my smart central heating has a power bridge which is connected to the hub with an Ethernet for connection and then a USB for power. This hub doesn't have a USB socket and I don't have a socket near by as this is located underneath the stairs (like in most new builds). I have read that you can convert USB powered gadgets to Ethernet powered as long as the hub supports PoE (power over Ethernet). Are you able to tell me if the hub does support this? Or suggest anything else? As currently my heating system is unable to be used which is concerning.
