The PoESP32 is a compact module from M5Stack that is equipped with a RJ45 port with PoE (Power-over-Ethernet) support. The device can be used in applications that involve HTTP, MQTT and similar communication protocols. 

The PoESP32 is offered with the following ESP32 SoC:

The product page also specifies that PoESP32 integrates a “built-in MAC and IP101G as physical layer transceiver.” 

The default firmware for this product is ESP-AT, additionally, M5Stack has provided some examples using TCP, HTTP and MQTT. As other ESP32 devices, the PoESP32 can be programmed using ESP-IDE and Arduino.
