We set one up like this the other week after having much trouble with it on WiFi. It was surprisingly easy; the network port on the pi was set for DHCP so just worked straight away when plugged in. We squeezed the cable through the same gland through the case as the CT clamp.

The only very minor niggle was that the network port is slightly hidden behind some other wires on the htpervolt main board (the CT clamp wires I think, but I can't remember) which needed a bit of manhandling to squeeze the network cable past them.

We found it definitely worth it. Even with a strong wifi signal this one was flakey as anything and the app didn't work most of the time. Hard wired it's been rock solid.
