LoveRPi PoE HAT Kit for Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ with Sleek Black Case Review

I bought 2 of these. 1. worked fine. The second popped up when I connected the monitor. PII still works, only the hat is burned. and the green light is too bright.

Works great! I like that it doesn't block the entire SBC like the official hat does. Doesn't overheat. Works great for me. However, it doesn't work that well with cases (but the hat's official shipment doesn't work either, so I don't care). Layered bags will need to be trimmed slightly to accommodate this hat. light enough.

This otherwise very good product has a very annoying flaw. The power LED they put on this board could easily be used in a laser pointer or even a Star Wars blaster. If the LED light is so bright that you cannot see it for more than about 1 second, it means there is definitely something wrong with the product. If this is fixed in a future version it will be a 5 starter product. At the moment, for those who don't want to put it in an opaque case, this is unsuitable in my opinion.

Bought one of these to try and it worked great. It connects to the PoE header and pins 1-6 of the GPIO header. However, it does open the 3V, 5V, and GND pins on top of the PoE daughter board. The board is snug and doesn't rise above the height of other components on the board, so almost any case should work with it. Good quality board. You might want to use it with an opaque case as the LED is quite bright.

My 3B+ (used for pi-hole) has had another 3rd party POE HAT for the past few years. It worked fine but I couldn't find a suitable case so I had to leave it open. Stumbled across this while looking for something different and decided to give it a try for $20. Works absolutely perfectly and it couldn't be easier to install. Removed the old HAT, installed the new one, plugged it into the case, plugged in the fan, plugged into the switch and it worked as expected. The only minor gripe is that the…

Great power hat! Very easy to assemble and compatible with some hats but not all. I've done some of these tasks outside near the antennas and they work great!

Works great. Super easy installation. I carefully slid the PoE hat onto the main Pi board, attached a heatsink, connected the fan cables and off we went. The Pi will boot up once the Ethernet is connected to the PoE switch. When using a smart PoE switch, Raspberry Pies can be remotely rebooted by turning off the switch port. I really like the form factor of this PoE hat as it doesn't increase the height of the Pi and doesn't require any additional wiring. So far so good, I'll update when I have

Small and compact. plug and play Worked as expected. No problems after a few months on POE. I disconnect it from a Unifi 16port 150W POE switch. I use a modified Viaboot Premium case. I simply cut out all the internal plastic parts and my 3B+ and this POE hat fit with no problems. As some others have said, the power LED is unnecessarily bright. Even with this Pi setup's case, the light was so bright green that it was forcing green light out of every possible slot in the case. In my case the LED

In recent years my 3B+ (used for Pi-hole) had another 3rd party POE HAT. It worked fine but I couldn't find a suitable case so I had to leave it open.
