You can get it up and running with basic commands super quickly though, just not much beyond that!

Worst case scenario you can use a PoE injector? Depends if running it for a longer distance is valuable to you i.e. if you want the dongle away from the host machine.
Already answered that question. They are very versatile.

I'm looking for smart blind controllers. Seen the Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1 which works with the beads on my blinds. Any other recommendations? Happy to buy from Ali Express also.
set my 2 home assistant voice units tonioght and all integrated with ChatGPT, freggin brilliant
been playing around for the last 2.5hrs lol
-add them to HA, should be straight forward, discovers when powered on, add WAN credentials etc
-go to https://platform.openai.com and stick $10 on there and grab the API key
-in HA add openai integration, add API key here when prompted
-chose control home assitant on next page, turn recomended settings off
-then in settings / voice assistant delete any thats there, i think it creates 2 standard profiles, delete them and add assistant
- chose openai conversion, switch off prefer handling commands locally, speech to text = faster wisper, text to speech = piper, voice jenny dioco (medium) <- most sensible one
-in ESP home > assitant = openai / assistant 2 = openai, finished speaking detection = aggressive, wake word - okay nabu, wakeword 2 hey jarvis, - sensitivity = slightly sensitive
enjoy
i did try gemini first, it worked but theres only 20 interactions on the free tier, and it wasnt very stable, needed to power cycle the units a few times so ditched it, cgpt is brill
let me know if you need any help, can pm me
