Uh, it even runs POE, I just use a sonoff USB dongle...I've just been using my lightbulps and 230VAC relays as receivers/routers for nearby battery powered ZigBee units. There's always a mains powered ZigBee device within good range so it can reach my server in the laundry room.

Sonos is great but it's just a few dollars more for an even better device with more flexibility (if you're starting fresh).

I started with a conbee which led to a lot of issues.
