Look at the THVD8000 for some ideas here. Not a part I would directly recommend (size), but shows just how easy power+data over a single twisted pair is, with an oscillator on the send side to generate the data signal and an envelope detector on the receive side. You can get fancy here... but the magic is that you don't need to.
