PoE support in future hardware

While some like the use of WiFi for some devices I prefer wired.  In future models it would be nice to see PoE support added.  It would give people a choice of powering via PoE or using the power supply brick.  802.3bt would provide ample power to run the controller and the valves.

On my previous controller I used a PoE splitter; so data used the Ethernet port and then the splitter provided the 24VAC the controller required.  With the Yardian requiring 36VDC, I do not know of a splitter that would provide that since the PoE line violate is 44 to 57VDC.

  I recently paid an Electrician to hardwire an outdoor Yardian at cost of about $600, in addition it took time to line up the job. If PoE had been an option, I could have self-installed this without concern of violating electrical and building code and needing the sparky to pull a permit. 

  POE would also permit hard-reset of the Yardian because most PoE Switches permit you to power-cycle the port.   PoE has come to doorbells and in-house security cameras. There are even PoE lighting products. It has a future on your product roadmap.
