Yep, 100%, plug it in anywhere. The cost breakdown: Nano: $8 Max485 board: $2 W5500 board: $5 Buck converter: $2 PLC adapter: $10-25 So if you picked a lower bandwidth PLC (~600mbps instead of 2000mbps) you could do it for $27 and a little labor.

If you're talking about how it was retrofitted, it's pretty straightforward: -Gut some PLC adapters -Flash the Nano with a unique IP -Cut out the old power/DMX cables and mount/wire in the PLC -Wire up Nano with a Max485 board, Ethernet board, and power supply board (to use the 24V DMX supply)...

Hello, long time Christmas light decorator here, new to this forum though. I have retrofitted a number of DMX RGB spots to actually communicate over PLC (powerline ethernet adapter inside the light housing) using E1.31. Also converted dumb white floods to use this as well. What this has...
