esphome is kinda geared to wireless. esp, espressif long version, is the name of the chip that gives the board wifi capabilities. They support ethernet on the bigger version (esp 32) but I’m not familiar with it’s setup.
If you want to run wired you can get a shield for the Arduino. For your wired locations using an arduino might be a better choice.
