ESPHome Ethernet connectivity feature request

Looks like it’s the lan8720a

This is the one that I bought:

combined with the W5100 ethernet shield

This is the board:

The W5100 Ethernet shield carries the following chip:

Which I don’t think works with esphome

type ( Required , string): The type of LAN chipset. Must be one of LAN8720 or TLK110 (see datasheet for more details).

I think you got the answer for me.
I will use it then as a WIFI board.
Thank You

I was willing to replace my Arduino wired alarm system whereas the sketch that I have is not totally stable. This seemed an ideal replacement. I will need to live either with a WIFI alarm system or try one of the other boards indicated on the ESPhome website.

Is it working with ESPHOME?

nickrout · November 17, 2020, 10:08am

Is what working with ESPHOME?

Wired Ethernet? Yes it does.

Nice. How many digital I/O are available on this board? It’s a good candidate for replace my alarm ESP32

Thanks so much for posting this!
I’d been tearing my hair out trying the get mine working, using the examples in ESPHome and various permutations, and had just about given up hope.
Now it is working on wired ethernet!!

Anyone can confirm that WT32-ETH01 is working with HA and ESPHOME ?
If so, are there any particular activities to load initial code or just connect to LAN and use OTA from ESPHOME plugin ?

Tak Maciek działa, przecież podałem ustawienia parę postów wyżej.

I think you’ll have to make the first firmware upload over serial in the usual way.

Maco65 · December 14, 2020, 1:05pm

It seems so. And as it does not have USB port there needs to be wired connection to Rx/TX pins + USB-RS232 converter

nickrout · January 10, 2021, 8:39pm

English please.

Hello,

I have received some WT32-ETH01 boards today and trying to get them up and running with ESPHome and HA.

At the very top of the YAML there is an entry for ‘board:’

What board type have others specified here for their WT32-ETH01s?

Thanks,

J

AndrewJ · January 19, 2021, 7:02pm

I am using

board: esp-wrover-kit

This works fine.

jhauxwell · January 19, 2021, 7:09pm

Ok cool, thanks.

So my YAML starts like this:

esphome:
  name: watercontrols
  platform: ESP32
  board: esp-wrover-kit

ethernet:
  type: LAN8720
  mdc_pin: GPIO23
  mdio_pin: GPIO18
  clk_mode: GPIO0_IN
  phy_addr: 1
  power_pin: GPIO16


captive_portal:

# Enable logging
logger:

But it complains…

If i add a wifi component in it also complains that Wifi cant be used with Ethernet

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Joel.

I found my problem - i just needed to delete:

captive_portal:

I haven’t actually been able to control anything yet but making progress!

Thanks,
