I swapped over to the commercial Tempest One hub with Ethernet yesterday and am extremely happy. I’ve been clamoring for an Ethernet based hub since I got my tempest system back in 2020. To others who homelab or just prefer Ethernet, it’s worth it even though it is an expensive additional purchase. I’m currently powering mine via a PoE adapter and it used about two watts. Only improvement would be if it directly could be powered over Ethernet. Support was able to migrate over data to the new hub. Of note: home assistant just picked everything up since it’s tied to the sensor id which was a nice addition so I did not have to set up my integrations all over again. ---

This is good to hear. I recently got into the older hub with wifi disconnecting and not re-connecting lost data on WeeWx due to it. Replaced the power supply and so far so good but I still want the Ethernet hub. I had the same idea as you did. I have PoE switches and would power it with a PoE breakout. Which model of PoE breakout did you go with? ---

This cheap one off of amazon. [Amazon.com](https://a.co/d/41gMAcP) Frankly for this application I didn’t even check if it was gigabit as fast Ethernet is more than enough. I have a couple of these running various items like my iSmartGarage opening and my Verizon 5g home Internet cube I utilize for secondary WAN (that one is gigabit). They seem to work well and my switch doesn’t complain. ---

Yep that is the one I use for my Pi’s and Hubitat’s. Been working well for years. ---

It’s been really nice to get everything on my main UPS as I’ve embarked on my huge network upgrade this fall. I do wish the pro hub was Poe since it’s a commercial device. Oh well ---

So it’s very disappointing that a commercial pro hub doesn’t have PoE power. It took them so long, the price is not low and yet they left out this functionality. I really don’t get it, there was so much demand for it… ---

…and besides that. . .it can **NOT** be purchased using the “Black Friday Sale!” (Restrictions apply. Not valid on commercial products) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/3X/b/2/b2a58a325a6dc520688a63f88b8b5c943c95fd12.png) I tried. . .and this was the result! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/3X/3/a/3ac97b672fd763421e6b4d71be8859e2b021baed.png) So basically that item will cost $155.23 (+ probably tax to be added as well). ---

It’s not cheap… I spent the money as I hate wifi devices are have a number of automations reliant upon my Weatherflow. ---

I saw that also. Disappointing. ---

Really surprising there’s no PoE! ---

I completely agree, would be so clean and simple. Like my new mini-pc windows box in my homelab, I’d prefer everything run off of PoE. ---

Does anyone from Weather Flow (Tempest Company) even read this? That they can’t respond to the missing PoE port on the “Tempest One Commercial Hub” is very sad and surprising. Especially when it’s been talked about and talked about all these years it’s been in development and going into production… Similar to when the radar functionality in the Tempest app was recently announced with much media hype, but somehow forgotten about non-American (Europe) customers ☹ Interesting that in all crowfunding campaigns the company, for example, didn’t mind support from Europe otherwise… ---
