Waveshare POE HAT (C) For Raspberry Pi 4B/3B+ Review

This POE managed to connect my Pi 4B 8GB with an HD X825 SSD card connected via a USB bridge to an Ethernet cable and a network switch that supports POE to supply electricity. Currently running Twister OS which can connect to my bluetooth keyboard and mouse. CONS: Can't get OLED screen to work, instructions are unclear.

This product worked as described - the thickness was just right when you had to push and pull the board when attaching and detaching it from the Pi. The Poe Hat heat doesn't overheat when turned on and worked continuously for a couple of days. Transparency I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but the POe hat sits nicely on the Pi and integrates nicely. My only problem was Po didn't work out of the box. Po has a specific purpose, and having to program it to do what it was designed to do was a little

Good PoE HAT, RPi 4 runs stable at 2.147GHz (with optional fan and heatsink) but runs stable at 2.0GHz in the vented case, no low voltage warnings . : The included standoffs and HAT are used to clean low-profile heatsinks and other components. - 2 stars for coil noise on startup and no extra pins to access 5V, 3.3V or GND.

Cannot be used, does not work, LCD cannot be set to show anything. Don't waste your money on this, just buy a plain POE hat because it's a waste of money!

I was looking for a POE HAT to use with Pi-KVM. Look no further. Pop your hat and Pi into a HiPi Berry case and you have a working Pi KVM powered by a POE switch. Be sure to isolate the 5V on the USB-A connector (ribbon or cut cable) of the USB-CA cable that connects to the target PC so you don't mess with the Pi or the target PC supply emergency power. I'm using USB HDMI loop capture to create a working physical/remote Pi KVM console. It works on both Pi 4 and Pi Zero. Of course the POE part…

Works as intended. I didn't know it had a screen until I got it. Being able to display performance data/IP/whatever you want is a nice touch, especially if you're running a headless Pi. The fan is a bit noisy and the python script they provide to control and run the display is very simple. There's only a transient threshold that determines whether the fan is on or off, so it's ultimately a cycle of constantly turning on for 5 seconds and then turning off again. Note that there are some easy…

This unit has been working properly for about 4 months and is now very noisy. In fact, so loud that I will buy a new case to get a more reliable and quieter fan. The device was used very easily in a highly controlled climate environment. I actually made sure there was no hair or anything else in the fan. During this process I lose power to the Ethernet functions which is one of the reasons I bought this item in the first place. Because I will not buy something like this after the experience I…

It's really big compared to other screens (35mm overall height with Pi 4B) so it's impossible to make a ready made case for the whole Pi+ Hut to find Setup. I ended up printing it myself. The fan is very noisy and the cable was pinched when I unpacked it, but it works. I left it with the switch in the "always on" position because otherwise the overheating SOC would have to save itself. The build quality is good. Tantalum capacitors might not last forever, but that's fine for my purposes. In…
