Install Olimex ESP32-POE as generic empty ESPHome device

Hi, I was just about to set up a few ethernet ESPHome devices. I went to Ready-Made Projects — ESPHome but under “Empty ESPHome device” there is no Olimex ESP32-POE. It is under “Bluetooth proxy”-devices however.
There seems to be no Ready-Made Project for this one. It works to config it as a BT Proxy but I dont want that. It doesnt work to config it as an Empty ESPHome device because it wants me to go wifi, and then it cant connect to the API.
So how do I make it an Empty ESPHome device?

The full yaml for using the Olimex as a BT Proxy can be found at:

https://github.com/esphome/bluetooth-proxies/blob/0b53ab1ee78574c3edc9a3f6868095cdbadf5bc2/olimex/olimex-esp32-poe-iso.yaml

Remove the esp32_ble_tracker and bluetooth_proxy blocks if you don’t want to use it as a BT Proxy…
