This is a wonderful conversation between two people who are extremely switched on and have great respect for each other.

Aaand PEBKAC.

One of my rPis is a Model 3Bv1.2, not a 3B+. So the PoE+ HAT simply can't work.

And on the Model 4, the HAT wasn't seated correctly.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Well, hmm. Apparently it's a bit of a sordid story with the PoE+ HATs... I suppose this is what I get for being such a hardware nitwit.

EDIT: Solved, see thread below, thanks all!

I have purchased an unmanaged PoE+ switch (TP-Link TL-SG1008P, seen in link below), and 2 rPi PoE+ HATs.

One of my Pis is an rPi 3, the other a 4; both should be fine with the HAT.

Neither draws power from the switch PoE port. I have tested several cables; sadly I have no other PoE devices to test with.

When USB powered the Pis do fine. The fan on the HAT spins, so I think it's installed correctly.

What do I check next?

Who of you has put #Valetudo on a Roborock S7 and lived to tell the tale?

At this point I'm ready to do the needful (including full disassembly), but I'd love to hear firsthand from someone who did that and didn't brick their robot.

Boosts for reach appreciated, thank you!

One of the many ways in which I've been Spoiled By OpenStack™: I just can't fathom people making changes to things that are documented, and not giving a tinker's cuss about so much as even notifying the people who maintain the documentation. Let alone adding the necessary one-line patch to the docs to their own changeset.

DocImpact, anyone?
