Relocating Sensor and Power resource issue

Hello CDVTA. I was in the same basic situation…had to move my sensor off the porch location (which was near a plug) to its permanent location under the rafters (no plugs). In my situation, I had a POE network switch somewhat close by for other stuff so I used 1 POE port with a POE splitter, which takes the power out of the RJ45 and adapts it to the USB connector the sensor requires. The power requirement for these sensors is extremely low so there’s more than enough power in the POE connection to run the sensor. No cords running up the wall, everything tucked under the rafters out of sight, so it was a clean install. Attached a picture of the final resting spot.

Unsure if this is something you could use but I wanted to put it out there as a possible solution, since you were worried about cords, looks, etc. Good luck! Kurt
