The sensor is open source software and hardware. The hardware platform is standard ESP. It can run ESPHome and in fact there are alternative firmware builds for it. The ESP has serial for software loading. I'm pretty sure they can't lock it. And if something goes awry with the firmware, we can use ESPHome. The sensors are well defined and can be replaced if they fail.

Has anybody designed a wired PoE version yet?

I haven't heard of any.

I'm looking on that company's website but not seeing it. I see the "R PRO-1 PoE mmWave Multisensor" and the "TEMP PRO-1 PoE Temperature and Humidity Sensor," but those have different capabilities. Apollo's "AIR-1 Air Quality Sensor" is also WiFi/USB-C power, not PoE.
