Should I go from C-7's to C-8 Pro?

I haven't received my POE to USB C dongle yet.

Hopefully you’ve ordered one of the PoE splitters that were successfully tested in this thread. Otherwise, your Z-Wave radio may have issues.

PoE and the C8 (with extensive testing)

In the hope that it will be useful to others, I thought I'd share my testing of the C8 powered via PoE. There have been many references to issues when powering C7/C8 units using Unifi switches, but it should be understood that these issues are not specific to Unifi. My main switches are Cisco CBS 350s (192W), and while I had no issues powering C7s with inexpensive lightweight PoE splitters, the C8 has been a completely different story. FWIW, I've also tested with a dedicated Trendnet PoE switch…
