Absolutely - in the office, we have PoE switches installed, but only 100Mbit (for telephones mostly). I'm not keen on upgrading to 1Gbit PoE switches, I haven't even looked at the prices. For the iot access points, I could well imagine going for a PoE access point though. It depends on the price
My AP is mounted on my laundry room ceiling. You don't need a PoE switch, unless you're going to have more than a couple of PoE devices. My AP came with an injector and it's the only PoE device I have.
Office: I have quite a few more - first and foremost telephones. (Linksys/Cisco). Home: I have five APs - partially because of how poor TP-link APs are, partially because of distances, partially because the house is built with reinforced concrete. Main house - two APs. My lab has one AP, my office has one AP and a third one in the roof for outdoors. Oh, I forgot, an extra Netgear for iot, because the current tp-link devices have trouble with doing 2.4GHz and 5GHz at the same time. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.0°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
