@mx738: Toni, how did you configure the LAN PoE for that board? Are you able to kindly share?
I just got the non camera version but POE works fine using the above. You canât put in WiFi or an AP/captive portal part when using Ethernet. Havenât had time to add various sensors yet so left the relay in. Just flash it using USB C then plug into POE Ethernet and it shows up to add in HA.

Thanks to the helpful posts above, the camera finally works quite well and with ethernet the BLE proxy works much much better than via WiFi:
No problem with brightness in esphome 2025.05.

I also made an enclosure for the board, if anybody needs one:
Thanks to this thread i made it finally work.
now⌠this thing gets hot? or is it just in my case? (ESP32-S3-ETH, PoE module and also camera)
absolutely ⌠any ESP32 where the camera is in use, gets quite hot in my experience. On top of that, I am sure the POE-module also generates itâs share of heat.
so: yes, thatâs normal
