Power over Ethernet (PoE) smart home control panels offer a cost-effective and reliable solution for home automation. Unlike traditional control panels that require separate power sources, PoE panels use a single Ethernet cable for both power and data transmission. This simplifies installation and ensures a stable connection. In this guide, we’ll walk through the installation process, benefits, and why Portworld’s PoE smart control panels are the best choice.
