Looking for tasmota friendly board with ethernet and external antenna

[DarthWeber]

Hi, i am looking for a tasmota friendly board with ethernet (LAN) and Bluetooth (external antenna). I don't need POE and would prefer to work with external 5V or 12V

Anny suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Olimex provides nice Ethernet ESP32 boards.

The "EA" variant has an external antenna. The board looks quite big.

I prefer the smaller POE version

https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/ESP32/ESP32-POE/open-source-hardware

which exists also in "EA" version for roughly the same price

Thanks. But can i use the Poe Version also without Poe? I prefer to avoid additional injektor and splitter 25.08.2024 09:15:01 s-hadinger ***@***.***>:

My general expectation would be that PoE-capable devices would still work without being powered this way, as long as they have a power source. While I can't vouch for specific devices, I saw no trouble with a different PoE-capable ESP32 board and USB power input.

Yes. I have the Olimex device and it works without POE. In such case it takes power from the USB port

If you're looking for a "finished" device with Ethernet and external antenna, this one is basically built for your use case. No personal experience with it.

When it comes to the warning about IP101GRI, Tasmota Ethernet support was expanded some time ago to include type 1 for TLK110/IP101. That looks "pretty similar", but I can't say anything for sure.
