Waveshare ESP32-S3-ETH PoE OV2640 CAM

ESPHome

Hello,

is somebody else using the Waveshare ESP32-S3-ETH Board?
I configure it under ESPHome, but the Camera will not work.
LAN PoE is working well, but the Camera show all time:

[esp32_camera:123]:   Setup Failed: ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND
[component:082]:   Component esp32_camera is marked FAILED

i have two Boards, both the same issue.

Here my Code (without LAN):

Hello, I am also trying to make the same board work with this camera. Been trying some permutations without any luck. My ethernet is quite unstable, are you able to share your ethernet config?

Here is the config that is working so far for me, I am not sure how much of the esp32: section is necessary, but the ethernet: GPIO pin settings were different than other posts I found, but correspond to the docs here: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/ESP32-S3-ETH#ETH_Web_CAM

Here my config, ethernet works fine.
Only the CAM i can´t get running. I ask Waveshare, they don’t support ESPHome :frowning:

Did you ever get the camera to work?
Have a few of these boards as well, and cant get the camera to work.
