I’m trying to set up 2 olimex-esp32-poe-iso in ESPHome. I can get them to work in ESPhome, they get discovered in HA Integration, but when I go to configure them I get this message:
Can’t connect to ESP. Please make sure your YAML file contains an ‘api:’ line.
both files have the “api:” line in them.
Any suggestion and/or help is appreciated.
Post your logs and your yaml.
I apologize, first time to request help on this forum.
How do you post yaml and log files. all I found was for photos
As I said above, I apologize, first time, etc. Sorry to have bothered you. I’ll figure it out.
That post tells you how to post code!

Hi @cond
Thanks for the share and plan to do the same. Does your design fits too the ESP21-POE board (the non ISO one) ?
Thanks
Vincèn
Hi Vincen
I can’t say for sure as I haven’t used that model, but I’d imagine it would be pin compatible at least…
Well the pin compatibility was not my issue, it’s more the size as the Olimex board I have is well smaller in fact so it fits too well in the box 
Hehe. So it’s working OK for you and fitted in the box? I think (but haven’t looked) that the board will fit in but will need something to stop if siding down in the case, especially while you push the patch cord in. Anyway, please let me know how it goes.
Well that’s the main issue in fact with that board 
Will check with my guy if he can modify design for that version of Olimex board and will share it back
Could you post a link to the screen you’re using in this project pls?
Shop for “SSD1306 i2c”
Get the 4 pin type for easiest use, like this :
1st post was updated with this text:
Some people were asking about the pin outs. Both the screen and the BME280 use the i2c bus so just connect to those (pins 13 and 16) and the 3.3v and ground. These pins are also available on the 10way IDC port on top of the board so you can use both set of pinouts for easy hooks ups.
There’s also some bloke selling my cases for this here (not affiliated or endorsed)
Can I ask whats the purpose of this little pillar in the sensor bay.
Great case to by the way!
That’s to mount the BME280 to as there’s a hole in it that you push this into.
