Well, if WiFi is the (only) way to go, I’d probably go for the wifi solution for the EmonTX, no? But my device will sit in a metal box with an ethernet switch right next to it. Going over the air just seems unworthy for a so called smart home… Another reason I prefer ethernet is that it would (potentially) allow me to use POE (but that’s a whole new can of worms).
