W5500 (experimental for ESP-IDF)

[spali]

As there are some issues around and it seems to be in interest for some, I made a experimental component that works with an esp32 and the esp-idf framework for the W5500.

See: https://github.com/spali/esphome-components

It's by fare not ready for a pull request, but usable for a project that just need ethernet with DHCP.

Do you think that could work with

[generically-named]

there is some movement regarding Ethernet with esp-idf in esphome in the last time. Then it may be a matter of time esphome will/can support WT5500 natively.

Just wondering if you're able to elaborate? Very much wanting to use a W5500 with my ESP32

Didn't had time lately to check in detail. But I follow #4009. Which seems to prepare the "base" needed for IDF based drivers. As soon this is merged and I find time, I will take a look again to maybe implement this for W5500.

i will patiently wait for this to try. i have my Prodino-esp32-ethernet now with C++ coded and via MQTT talking to Home assistant. really hoping to be able to get it in esphome and maintain it via OTA.

With the ESP IDF updates and the other sample driver landed, any chance a rewrite of this driver could become a part of the core esphome framework?

Just so you know, some discussing is going on here: #4424
