    Ethernet shield to use

    Is there a recommended Ethernet shield needed for this plugin on the SEL?

    I need to add quite a few input and outputs so was going to use a mega. Does that sound like a good approach?

    Many thanks

    The standard Ethernet Shield W5100 is what you need and a mega is a good idea.

    Greig.
    Zwave = Z-Stick, 3xHSM100� 7xACT ZDM230, 1xEverspring SM103, 2xACT HomePro ZRP210.
    X10 = CM12U, 2xAM12, 1xAW10, 1 x TM13U, 1xMS13, 2xHR10, 2xSS13
    Other Hardware = ADI Ocelot + secu16, Global Cache GC100, RFXtrx433, 3 x Foscams.
    Plugings = RFXcom, ActiveBackup, Applied Digital Ocelot, BLDeviceMatrix, BLGarbage, BLLAN, Current Cost, Global Cache GC100,HSTouch Android, HSTouch Server, HSTouch Server Unlimited, NetCAM, PowerTrigger, SageWebcamXP, SqueezeBox, X10 CM11A/CM12U.
    Scripts =     Various

      I would also add that a genuine Arduino shield is recommended. I have had very bad luck with clone boards remaining connected. Out of 8 clones I purchased 1 was DOA, 1 died and all but 2 of the remaining 6 would intermittently disconnect. I now have 4 genuine Arduino POE shields in use and they are rock solid.

      I also had problems with a couple of knock off Mega boards. One had an output pin stuck high and another had an output that would not stay high. I now have 3 genuine Megas and one genuine Uno in production and they are very reliable. I also have 3 NodeMCU boards that are proving to be reliable as well.

        I haven't started arduino stuff yet. Irma has set back our plans a lot. One thing I really wish they had were POE shields (And maybe they do now).

        These devices just scream POE to me.

        Edit: sorry if I'm going slightly off topic

          As I wrote above I have 4 Arduino POE shields. They are V1 shields and were purchased from Amazon. I also have some V2 shields that are now supported by the plug-in. The V2 shields have provisions to attach (solder) a POE module. I purchased modules on eBay for about $8. While I am still using the V1 shields in production, the V2 shields with the POE modules attached work reliably as well.

            I don't know how I missed that! I feel like a butthead now! Sorry about that. Trying to do too much at a time.
