Ethernet Component¶
This ESPHome component enables wired Ethernet connections for ESP32s.
Ethernet for ESP8266 is not supported.
This component and the Wi-Fi component may not be used simultaneously, even if both are physically available.

Configuration variables:¶
type (Required, string): The type of LAN chipset/phy.
Supported chipsets are:
LAN8720(RMII)RTL8201(RMII)DP83848(RMII)IP101(RMII)JL1101(RMII)KSZ8081(RMII)KSZ8081RNA(RMII)W5500(SPI)OPENETH(QEMU, ESP-IDF only)
RMII configuration variables:¶
mdc_pin (Required, Pin): The MDC pin of the board. Usually this is
GPIO23.mdio_pin (Required, Pin): The MDIO pin of the board. Usually this is
GPIO18.clk_mode (Optional, string): The clock mode of the data lines. See your board’s datasheet for more details. Must be one of the following values:
GPIO0_IN(Default) - External clockGPIO0_OUT- Internal clockGPIO16_OUT- Internal clockGPIO17_OUT- Internal clock
phy_addr (Optional, int): The PHY addr type of the Ethernet controller. Defaults to 0.
phy_registers (Optional, mapping): Arbitrary PHY register values to set after Ethernet initialization.
address (Required, hex): The register address as a hex number (e.g.
0x10for address 16)value (Required, hex): The value of the register to set as a hex number (e.g.
0x1FFA)page_id (Optional, hex): (RTL8201 only) Register page number to select before writing (e.g.
0x07for page 7)
power_pin (Optional, Pin Schema): The pin controlling the power/reset status of the Ethernet controller. Leave unspecified for no power pin (default).
SPI configuration variables:¶
clk_pin (Required, Pin): The SPI clock pin.
mosi_pin (Required, Pin): The SPI MOSI pin.
miso_pin (Required, Pin): The SPI MISO pin.
cs_pin (Required, Pin): The SPI chip select pin.
interrupt_pin (Optional, Pin): The interrupt pin.
reset_pin (Optional, Pin): The reset pin.
clock_speed (Optional, float): The SPI clock speed. Any frequency between 8Mhz and 80Mhz is allowed, but the nearest integer division of 80Mhz is used, i.e. 16Mhz (80Mhz / 5) is used when 15Mhz is configured. Default: 26.67Mhz.
Advanced common configuration variables:¶
manual_ip (Optional): Manually configure the static IP of the node.
static_ip (Required, IPv4 address): The static IP of your node.
gateway (Required, IPv4 address): The gateway of the local network.
subnet (Required, IPv4 address): The subnet of the local network.
dns1 (Optional, IPv4 address): The main DNS server to use.
dns2 (Optional, IPv4 address): The backup DNS server to use.
use_address (Optional, string): Manually override what address to use to connect to the ESP. Defaults to auto-generated value. For example, if you have changed your static IP and want to flash OTA to the previously configured IP address.
domain (Optional, string): Set the domain of the node hostname used for uploading. For example, if it’s set to
.local, all uploads will be sent to<HOSTNAME>.local. Defaults to.local.id (Optional, ID): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
Note
If your Ethernet board is not designed with an ESP32 built in, it’s common to attempt to use flying leads, dupont wires, etc. to connect the Ethernet controller to the ESP32. This approach is likely to fail, however, as the Ethernet interface uses a high frequency clock signal that will not travel reliably over these types of connections. For more information and wiring details refer to the link in the See also section.
Note
SPI based chips do not use SPI Bus. This means that SPI pins can’t be shared with other devices.
