Arduino standard firmata ethernet

Hi all,
I configured HA to communicate via usb with my arduino (with standard firmata firmware) uno and works.

Now I’d like to use arduino with ethernet shield… Do I need to use standard firmata ethernet?
Does this firmware allow HA to reads/write to the arduino pins with the same configuration in configuration.yaml ?

many thanks

Firmata on Home Assistant is only supported via USB/Serial.

Use MQTT for Ethernet.

Is present any project that developed a firmware like ESPHOME for the wifi?

Thanks

Has anyone tried USB over ethernet as an alternative to using ethernet?

Maybe, but not me. Have no need. That’s an extra piece of hardware and drivers to deal with when MQTT can do the job.
