POE Again

I have read through the threads on here about POE. Some have implemented it and some want it.

I just ordered a RainMachin Pro 16 and am in a position where POE is more available than 120V.

I am wondering if somebody has - and would post - a step-by-step parts and integration list for powering a RainMachine Pro 16?

I also see the Rain Machine Pro has a 10/100 EtherNet port. I am assuming that is not POE capable?

 

Thanks in advance.

  I too would be interested in PoE for the RainMachin Pro 16.

  I have not worked the numbers, but PoE (802.3af) or PoE+ (802.3at) likely can not provide enough power.  As the Rainmachine needs to be able to energize the various valves.  
  
  PoE++ (802.3bt) may have enough power to make it happen, but the market for people with a PoE++ setup is tiny.
