Thanks Brian, informative as always!
For sagging doors, I've used tools like this many times to quickly get a door back in working order.

One important factor to consider when using wired hinges is the amount of current that will be going through the hinge. I have had to replace hinges where the wires essentially melted or fused together. Now a properly fused power supply would have prevented the wires from fusion together but not necessarily the plastic melting.
POE hinges are also available for POE locks as well. Of course they run upwards of $500 or more MSRP for good quality hinges.
From my experience don’t skimp on the quality of an electric hinge as you will spend much more on the labor of replacing than the initial cost.
Also is you are selling and installing locks that will require a electric hinge make sure it is a commercial door hinge as they don’t make these for residential doors. Of course you have to make sure you get the correct size, shape and amount of knuckles as well.
Just my 2cent input.
