No, that's a real problem. I wouldn't do that without insulation
of some kind.
My own remote-sensing devices are NSLU2s; I simply throw a 240V cable at
them and use Ethernet-over-mains adapters for connectivity.
The setup is pretty reliable; we get no power failures to speak of, so I
don't even have to worry about restarting the slugs after a failure.
