Yeesh, it's $100 a pop http://www.makershed.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MKBT1&Show=ExtI… and it requires both power adapter wire and ethernet cable... Switch it to PoE at least to cut the power cable. Or just perhaps, switch to a much lower power uC, only power up once a minute, and use, say Zigbee to communicate.
