I think most of that is due to regulation, it is so you can't sneak up on someone like Andy in his Prius. Early Model 3s don't even have a speaker to make the sound so they still don't, a friend of mine has one and it doesn't make any woowoo noises

    I just got my pi feeder up and running a month or so ago. I had no idea about skystats, I'm going to spin it up now and take a look!

    edit: for those that might come across this, setup was super smooth, I'm running on another VM that is just grabbing data from my readsb instance on my raspi.

    PoE needs to be more prevalent, IMO. When Smlight came out with the SLZB I jumped on it. Not only does it give me options for where to place it in my house, but it also allows me to make HA more resilient on my Proxmox cluster because it isn't tied to a single node with USB passthru.

    I know that this probably is an edge case and that the HA team wants to make things easier with the HA green and HA yellow so USB still makes sense, but if this or the SWA-2 had PoE as an option, it would have been a no brainer.
