[HARDWARE REQUEST] ZiGate Ethernet Gateway (for wired networking) with or without PoE (Power over Ethernet) support

Hedda commented 3 years ago

I would like to request ZiGate Ethernet Gateway (hardware for wired networking) with or without PoE (Power over Ethernet) support.

Can you please consider making ZiGate Ethernet Gateway hardware board/product with a standard RJ-45 (wired network) port.

Perhaps take this opportunity to also upgrade gateway hardware from ESP8266/ESP8285 to ESP32 as that does not add much cost.

If time to market is a factor then maybe checkout WT32-ETH01 module board by Wireless-Tag:

If you would like to give added value and extended usage then also add PoE (Power over Ethernet) support to that board/product.

If time to market is a factor then maybe checkout or Olimex ESP32-POE-ISO or the LILYGO TTGO T-Internet-POE modules/boards:

As a reference check out the design of the open-source hardware Zigbee gateways by Tube (also known as "Tube's Gateways"):

These would serve as flexible but probably a little more expensive alternative to the existing ZiGate WiFi Pack Gateway hardware.

it would be simpler to contact the zigate.fr , the purpose of this github is to focus on the firmware for ZiGate, and not hardware related

ZiGate-ethernet is on dev. you have to follow me on twitter / facebook or insta

Also you can install ESPHome with ZbBridge (I'll do the doc)

ZiGate-Ethernet is compatible with PiZiGate, Raspbee1/2 and other RPI modules with ZHA. (I'll do the doc)
