Why PoE REALLY Matters

Builders want homes that show well, age well, and generate no warranty headaches. Installers want systems they can deploy confidently and support for years without constant service calls. Brilliant’s PoE Smart Home Control delivers a permanent, structured backbone that satisfies both.

Brent Carter • February 20, 2026

Builders and low-voltage installers want Power over Ethernet (PoE) for the same reason: it removes risk and puts control back into the build/install.

For builders, PoE simplifies construction and protects margins. Fewer line voltage devices in walls mean fewer trade conflicts, faster rough in, and far less rework when plans change. Ethernet can be pulled early, adjusted easily, placed at optimal locations, and standardized across homes. More importantly, PoE dramatically reduces post-close service calls, reducing your costs through phone support or truck rolls.

For low-voltage installers, PoE is about ownership and scalability. It consolidates power, data, monitoring, and reboot control into the network layer you already manage. Devices can be supported remotely, standardized across projects, and protected with centralized uninterrupted power supplies (UPS) backup. PoE endpoints behave like infrastructure, not consumer gadgets, so systems are easier to deploy, easier to support, and more profitable.

Now available for purchase by pros-only, the Brilliant PoE Control is not just a technology choice - it’s a way to differentiate, win more projects, and deliver a premium smart home experience with less risk and complexity.
