Does Olimex ESP32-POE-ISO-EA work over wifi instead of POE as a bluetooth proxy?

Sorry if this has been asked, but I have been loving this Olimex ESP32-POE-ISO-EA as a bluetooth proxy when connected over POE ethernet to have the extended bluetooth range to my ruuvi temperature sensor outside in my well house but was wondering if I could use the wifi on the board and power it with USB instead of using the POE. It seems like I could just replace this part of the config…

ethernet:
  type: LAN8720
  mdc_pin: GPIO23
  mdio_pin: GPIO18
  clk_mode: GPIO17_OUT
  phy_addr: 0
  power_pin: GPIO12 
# Optional manual IP
  manual_ip:
    static_ip: 10.0.150.237
    gateway: 10.0.150.1
    subnet: 255.255.255.0

with this…

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
  manual_ip:
    static_ip: 10.0.150.237
    gateway: 10.0.150.1
    subnet: 255.255.255.0
    dns1: 10.0.150.1
  ap:

and expect it to work?

I already have proven that I don’t need POE (as mentioned in another thread) but am currently using a wifi to ethernet adapter and that works fine, but feel like I might be making this more complicated than it needs to be. It was a bit challenging to get the original setup working, so am kind of afraid to mess with it unless someone else has already tried it.

Yes it can work over either wifi or wired. Make sure you change back to the defaults for esp_ble_tracker ie change this

esp32_ble_tracker:
  scan_parameters:
    interval: 1100ms
    window: 1100ms

To this

esp_ble_tracker

Thanks for letting me know, and I super appreciate the heads up. Would you mind pointing me to a full config example for the wifi configuration? When searching for it, I only found the ethernet sample here… Bluetooth Proxy — ESPHome
but I didn’t find a complete sample wifi example configuration.

I am using this on all my other plain 'ol ESP32 wifi bluetooth proxies…

esp32_ble_tracker:
  scan_parameters:
    interval: 1100ms
    window: 1100ms

but I did notice the warning not to use that with wifi bluetooth proxies, but didn’t find your example of the correct one.

wouldn’t it at least have the colon after?
