@makerbymistake For me the big attraction of the RP0/02 is ethernet gadget mode, allowing it get both power and ethernet via a single USB connection to a host.

I have two of these hanging off of linux-based network appliances (ordinary consumer routers running OpenWRT acting as managed switches and APs) providing various services, so the don't need PoE, a switch port or a wall-wart, and their availability/uptime is the same as these appliances, which basically never get turned off or rebooted.
