Before we were aware of HA, we ran power from house (garage) to shed, fifteen metres or so across the yard, and from there into the garden, for lights & pumps, lawnmower & trimmers, and the odd bit of DIY. And it would be nice to have Idratek manage & control these, too ...
But running another conduit for the Cat-5 would involve way too much upheaval (thresholds, parking-areas, soakaways, etc), so ... what to do ?
One thought is to use some Homeplugs - eg: Fla85twin - HomePlug TURBO (2 Plugs) 85Mpbs, or Fla200 - HomePlug AV Push 200Mbps, such as are available here :
But would they work ? In other words, first plug one into a power-socket in the garage and the other into a power socket in the shed, then plug a length of Cat-5 into each, then connect the other ends to the IdraNet in the house & to some (eg) SRHs and/or QRHs in the shed ... and, job's done, transparent, and no need to worry about using the lawnmower, etc. Or ... ??
Any thoughts or experience ... please ?
