Thanks. I thought so, but just did more research and it seems that unless I want it to break, need to be RMA'd then break again it's not the best option.

I went down the Openreach modem + Unifi USG + NextDNS route and it's all set up and working nicely now.
I've got a real rat's nest of smart home kit and ethernet cables I've run through the house to connect up so I'm going to need a bigger switch. I've added up and I'll need at least 12, but that won't give me any room for expansion, so I really want 16. I can always put in another switch elsewhere in the house via one of the ethernet cables so I don't need more than that.
I also want it to be managed via the Unifi Controller and provide some PoE ports, so it's got to be a Ubiquiti switch with PoE.
The Switch Lite 16 PoE seems ideal, not too expensive and enough power for my PoE needs:

Any reason I shouldn't just buy it?
