M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit – Reliable Network Connectivity for IoT Projects
The M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit enables M5Stack microcontrollers to have a stable network connection via Power over Ethernet (PoE). With the integrated W5500 chip and RJ45 port, both data communication and power supply are realized over a single cable.
PoE Function: Eliminate a separate power supply – one Ethernet cable delivers data and power.
W5500 Hardware TCP/IP: The dedicated chip offloads the main processor and ensures low latency in network communication.
RJ45 Port: Compatible with standard network infrastructure – easy to integrate into existing setups.
Compact Design: At only 4 g weight and minimal dimensions, the unit fits into any enclosure.
24 Months Manufacturer Warranty: Ensures long-term investment security for your projects.
What sets the M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit apart
Thanks to the W5500 chip, hardware-based TCP/IP processing is provided, offloading the main controller and ensuring reliable data transmission. The PoE function eliminates the need for additional power adapters and simplifies installation in hard-to-reach areas. The unit is specifically designed for the M5Stack ecosystem and seamlessly connects with M5Stack Core, M5StickC, and other models.
Ideal for...
This PoE unit is aimed at IoT developers, smart home enthusiasts, and industrial users who need a reliable network connection for their M5Stack projects. Perfect for applications such as sensor networks, actuator control, or data loggers where a stable PoE connection is desired.
How to use the M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit
Connect the unit via the RJ45 port to a PoE switch or injector. Plug the unit onto the M5Stack Core (e.g., M5Stack Core2) – the contacts are compatible with the M5Stack bus interface. Program the module using the Arduino IDE or UIFlow with MQTT libraries. For operation, a PoE switch or injector is required; the unit draws power according to IEEE 802.3af.
M5Stack is a leading manufacturer of modular, ESP32-based microcontroller units for IoT and embedded projects. Their products are known for easy expandability with various units and modules. M5Stack offers an open development platform supporting Arduino, MicroPython, and UIFlow.
The M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit is a network module with an integrated W5500 chip and RJ45 port. It allows M5Stack microcontrollers to receive both data communication and power supply over a single Ethernet cable (PoE).
Yes, for the MQTT PoE Unit to operate, a PoE switch or injector conforming to IEEE 802.3af is required. Without PoE-capable network equipment, the unit cannot be powered.
The unit is compatible with most M5Stack development boards, including M5Stack Core, Core2, CoreS3, M5StickC, and M5StickC Plus. It connects via the standardized M5Stack bus interface.
You can program the MQTT PoE Unit using the Arduino IDE, UIFlow (Blockly), or MicroPython. Common libraries like PubSubClient are available for MQTT communication.
The M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit comes with a manufacturer's warranty of 24 months from the date of purchase.
