hi, i want to connect my esp32 through ethernet . but only w5500 available here in my country which is not supported to esphome but running fine in ardiuno, can i use w5500 with esphome through custom components.
I just tried this suggestion and couldn’t get it working. Also fixed ip address doesn’t seem to be supported anyway. Anyone know if/when W5500 will be supported within ESPHome? With W5500 being (apparently) the most prevalent network chip for the ESP32 hopefully this support is on the roadmap? Tx in advance! 
Probably somewhere in the future as in the past (and present) their is/was no official support.

Any updates on this? I also have the Lilygo T-ETH-Lite S3 with W5500. Trying to get it to run on ESPHome …

As it is esphome it could just work using the linked PR in the post before yours
I actually got it running for my S3 chip with W5500.
For those interested my project here: GitHub - pixelwave/Wake-On-ESP32: Using an ESP32 to control multiple PCs via Ethernet.
The config:
esphome:
name: ...
friendly_name: ...
platformio_options:
board_build.flash_mode: dio
external_components:
- source:
type: git
url: https://github.com/JeroenVanOort/esphome/
ref: eth-w5500
components: [ ethernet ]
ethernet:
type: W5500
clk_pin: GPIO10
mosi_pin: GPIO12
miso_pin: GPIO11
cs_pin: GPIO09
interrupt_pin: GPIO13
reset_pin: GPIO14
clock_speed: 30Mhz

Is the ethernet still working? I had it working until a few days ago that way but something seems to have broken:

I would appreciate help, thank you
Interesting … I have the same error message trying to access the ESP32 wireless. I would guess a recent esphome update somehow broke something.
But my esp32 itself is still running successfully via POE and ethernet now for 23 days 24/7. Probalby should not update it … x)
@EmilianoGetino … did you update your esp32 to latest version via esphome panel?
In this repo (W5500 spi ethernet · Issue #1235 · esphome/feature-requests · GitHub) the component is integrated with:
external_components:
- source:
type: git
url: https://github.com/JeroenVanOort/esphome/
ref: eth-w5500
components: [ ethernet,network,api,esp32]
Can you try this? It adds some more components from the repo …
My ETH/POE controller still is detected in ESPHome and runs on this version:
Update from git:
“Have to use esphome dev version. Then it works. And no external files just with ethernet and w5500 i is in the dev core now.”
It should be soon as part of the esphome release since it is already merged in the dev. Until then will be a bit more tricky.

With the new Firmware version 2024.3.0 it works perfectly, thanks for your help.

Could you take a copy of your settings?
I’m a beginner so I don’t have enough experience to do it alone…
