ESP8266 and ethernet

#1

Hello, i see in your videos you use wifi, i would like to know is it possible to use ethernet instead of wifi? I found online that ESP8266 supports ethernet and if possible i would like to use ethernet instead of wifi (i dont trust wifi with essential stuff)

Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKnyAYKP434

Only problem I would have is that you would have a lot of cabling to do through your house if you had lots of windows and had all blind controls for every window.

#3

Ah, thanks for the quick response! Truth is that i already have the cat5e cabling so thats not really an issue.

#4

Alot of out puts from your IP is the next thing.

#5

Instead of using an esp8266, you can use an Arduino ethernet, or an Arduino with an ethernet shield

#6

Ah, thanks zbot473 for the suggestion, i’ll search it right away. Tombstone, i don’t think that will be a problem

#7

Alright i did some research, if someone would help me with wiring arduino ethernet in esp8266’s place would be much appreciated!

#8

You cannot wire the Arduino in the esp8266 PCB.
What module are you trying to make?

#9

They mean it’s better to use arduino + ethernet shield, than esp8266 with them.
