Itho and wt32-eth01

Has anyone succeeded in getting the itho daalderop to work using a wt32-eth01 and esphome?
I used a D1mini before, which worked fine, but am now trying to migrate to a wired device.

I am using the wt32-eth01 for this and am trying to get some of the code (originally created for the esp8266) to run on my esp32; whatever i try, i am stuck in a boot loop, on the call to rf.init()…

I am using this as a starting point: https://github.com/jodur/ESPHOME-ITHO; code seems to lockup / not return form the call rf.init() in FanReceiv.setup()

I did change the pin definitions to match my device and also defined my SPI pins since they are not defined for this board (using esp32dev/arduino instead):

#define SS 32
#define MOSI 14
#define MISO 15
#define SCK 12
#define GPIO39 39

did you see

GitHub - arjenhiemstra/ithowifi: Itho wifi add-on module (ESP32 wifi to itho I2C protocol) I have 2 of those, they work ok
