Ethernet RJ45 port

[Ian-Johnston]

Is it possible to give my Daikin aircon an RJ45 port (ethernet). I am running WiFi using the original Daikin WiFi module via my own VB software........but I'd rather have a cabled connection. Possible?

Interesting idea - the ESP32 I am using can, in theory, be wired for Ethernet.

Indeed, I think there are ESP32 dev boards that exist with Ethernet and even PoE.

Loading my Faikin code on to such a board may be possible. But my code is not designed to work with the internal Ethernet controller, so won't just work, sadly. So it will probably have to wait until I have done stuff with the embedded Ethernet controller.

Thanks, will be following here just incase you implement this.

Wired ethernet is on my list, but no idea when, thanks.

My VB app runs on my local webserver, mainly to control my workshop temps......but also picks up some other data/sensors.
