Does AirGradient have any options that are connected and powered via PoE? The Awair Omni looks like a great option for what I imagine I'd like to set up but it would be nice to support Air Gradient if possible.
We currently don't have PoE but since it's open hardware and firmware people can look into adding it themselves. All documentation is open source.
One thing that's cool is that Airgradient's designs are super modular. I am on a crusade against micro-USB, so when I made an Airgradient Basic board I just used an ESP board with USB-C instead. If you can get a board with PoE with a similar form factor you might be able to just plop it on. Otherwise you can tweak the PCB and STLs to make it work.
Fully agree. All our PRO kits have USB C and we also now use the D1 mini with USB C plug.
The AirGradient uses the D1 wemos as the microcontroller & network connectivity. There are D1 ethernet shields that have PoE that would make it pretty easy to slap on top of the d1 and provide this exact feature, however you might need to tweak the code a bit to switch the network access from wifi to ethernet.
