My Lutron Smart Hub has a puny range of 30ft. But my R510 AP is perfectly positioned in on the ceiling in the center of the living area. I'd like to mount the Lutron Smart Hub next to the R510 and connect it to the R510's 2nd ethernet port.
That solves the data connection, but how can I power the Smart Hub? The Smart Hub requires 5VDC via a Micro-USB receptacle. There is no nearby AC available for the Smart Hub's regular power supply. I can get a POE splitter for this, but the R510's 2nd ethernet port does not provide POE.
Any suggestions?

Here are some ideas I had to do this.

Feeling stupid! Actually, the 500mW USB port on the R510 is perfectly suited to power the 300mW Lutron Bridge. Required: 1x Ethernet patch cord & 1x USB-A to Micro-USB-A charging cord, (both 8" or so), and a 1" square 3M Duolock to attach the bridge to the AP. QED.
