Connect to Arduino IoT Cloud via ESP32 Ethernet

Development Tools Cloud IoT

Hi all,

it's my first post here, I've got similar problem like here Connect to Arduino IoT Cloud via Ethernet BUT, just found that interesting device: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/STOCK-ESP32-POE-4MB-Flash-LAN8720_1600287066011.html?spm=a2747.manage.0.0.3ad171d2hWCm7r It's ESP32 with Ethernet. As long as I know, Arduino IoT Cloud provides access to 3rd party devices, like ESP32. So my question is: can I add ESP32 with embedded Ethernet RJ45 module and have an access to Arduino IoT Cloud via cable? I'd prefer cable over wifi for my project and IoT cloud is my key component. I hope Ive added this question to right section. Thanks!

yes, because LAN8720 is used with the esp32 arduino WiFi library the same way as other network interfaces (STA, SoftAP)

Thank you for responding so quickly! But meanwhile found out that ESP32 isn't just a module, it's different board with own microchip (im amateur in that topic, but I think it's called SoC). So connecting my temp, pressure etc sensors to IoT cloud via that esp32 ETH LAN8720 doesn't require Arduino Uno anymore. Am I right? Just connect sensors straight to esp32, then ethernet cable to rj45 and other end to my router and I've got IoT by cable?

EDIT: Found the answer by myself. WT32-ETH01 is supported by Arduino IoT Cloud. Here's the proof:

WT32-ETH01
WT32-ETH011004×683 34.6 KB

So thanks again Juraj for help. I'm going to order 2 of these ESP32 SoC for my projects. I hope everything will work without a problem.

if i'm not missing something, in order to use the ArduinoIoTCloud library, there is the need to do at least some minimal changes to the ConnectionHandler and the user sketch. The default one will not work out of the box for ESP32 + LAN8720.
