Can anyone recommend an ESP32 board that supports ESPHome? I just spent 2 weeks waiting for an wESP32 board and programmer to find out they don’t support ESPHome in the latest version (v7). No real specific requirements other than Ethernet and POE (couple GPIO pins).
I have never used any of these personally… so take this advice with a grain of salt. On the ESPHome Ethernet config page they list several ethernet POE boards. I should think any of those would fit your needs. Ethernet Component — ESPHome
Basically you will want to make sure the board uses the LAN8720 to be compatible with ESPHome. The new v7 wESP32 uses RTL8201.
There should shortly be a change to the docs re wesp soon, no longer compatible
I spoke at length with the developer of the wESP32 board and this is due to ESPHome is using IDF v3, which reached end of life in February 2022 (esp-idf/SUPPORT_POLICY.md at 179ea878c747519138b40f387b80f30dd72097f0 · espressif/esp-idf · GitHub), so its more an ESPHome issue honestly as its depending on unmaintained software. Espressif is already working on IDF v5 but ESPHome still used v3.
Did you ever find another board? I just ordered a wESP32 before reading v7 doesn’t work with ESPHome. It does sound like it might be getting close though.
