    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.

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

    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 👍

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

    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.
