I will say that these Ethernet over power adapters are the best thing ive probably ever bought(and im 100% serious) and would seriously consider them for your ferm chamber rather than screwing with wireless or pulling cable. I went in totally skeptical and have been blown away by the performance and how it just always works. Ive been using them for about 5 years now i guess since thats when i got my house.

You plug one in near your router, plug a ethernet cable into it and now your entire house's power lines are basically ethernet ready. You can plug the other adapter anywhere else and plug a cable into it and have internet. They all work with eachother just fine and dont have to be used just in pairs.
I use five of these, two in my office, two for my media PC's and one next to the router in my garage. They are stupid simple you literally just plug them in and they sync and work and have gone down maybe once every 6-9 months if that which just requires me unplugging and replugging them in. My crappy router crashes way more.
If you dont have an easy way to wire your house i highly suggest it, i have a 2 story house and didnt want to deal with pulling wire and crap through walls. The best part about these is the flexibility, when we move our office to the other room i dont have to worry about not having internet wires pulled there, as long as there is a power outlet there is internet.
YOu cant plug them into surge protectors/etc they have to go directly into the wall, also ill preface and say if you have an overly large house and try to go from one side to the other you may have issues depending on your wiring, or if you have a really old house you know has ****ty electrical from previous experience it might not work as well. Granted i think this was more an issue with the older models like i have not these newer 300+Mb ones
For me and everyone i know that has them though they work great. I only have the old 100Mb versions and have no issues with internet speeds as 100Mb is way faster than your going to get any internet out here in the US, and its more than fast enough to stream full blu-ray quality video. I have no trouble maxxing out my 30Mb Down/Up FIOS using them from any PC.
They work especially well in apartments or rentals and stuff where you obviously arent allowed to destroy the walls and pull ethernet cable.
For $43(or $54 if you want the power passthrough version which i recommend so you dont lose a power outlet) it cant be beat.
Greetings! Decided to go down this path and have read maybe 50 pages of this thread, will do some more, later. I went back and forth and decided to go with the full BrewPi setup (UNO Arduino's) my blend of parts came from my local Fry's (RaspberryPi B+ $35), Amazon, and BrewPi (I liked their cases), but utilized 10 amp SSRs. My fermenters are Blichmann sanitary 14 gallon units (2) in 13 CF freezers, pictures later. I am a Linux noob but would like to set up a cron script to back up my RPi & BrewPi software periodically to my WD cloud (1 TB), help along these lines would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Open up this script file and edit it to your board specs. Then run it
sudo python /home/brewpi/programArduinoFirstTime.py
Im asking the BrewPi guys, ill let you know what i hear back.
Yes but one with a barrel connector smaller than the one on your arduino. I think it's 2.5mm?
Hmm never seen error messages like that. The only problem I ever had with hubs was the arduinos puking up garbage commands. I ran my old hub with my mini keyboard dongle for a little while but it never disconnected the UNOs.[...].
