I’m just bought an Airgradient air quality sensor (actually two, an indoor and an outdoor).
I want to mount the outdoor one but it needs a USB-C power supply. I can run a cable but power isn’t exactly close. Do I somehow find a 10m USB-C cable and run it through the roof to the sensor that I mount on the side of the house? What’s a normal way of getting USB-C power to an area far away from the closest power point?
I really doubt the device really needs 2A, that sounds more like the definition of a generic phone charger than functional requirement. But yeah POE or simply a regular extension cord where you plug in a short cable at the end would be a safe bet.
