AtomS3 with "Atom POE" for power and networking

Kraken

Hello M5Stack Community,

I'm working on a project involving the ATOMS3 and I am considering using the ATOM PoE Kit (HY601742E) to upload environmental data from a sensor.

Before proceeding, I wanted to consult the community on a few points:

Is the ATOM PoE Kit compatible with the ATOMS3? It comes with the Atom Lite, but I was hoping to display the temperature on the screen of the S3.
Will this setup work? I don't understand why one Ethernet kit will be "for MQTT" and the other one isn't. I would expect any POE ethernet to be able to upload environmental data.

Any guidance, tips, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your help! I want to replace an older system with these.

Best,

K

Hello @Kraken

Re 1. : a quick test with the ATOM PoE Kit and an M5AtomS3 worked for me. Please note: you'll need to adapt the GPIOs accordingly.

Re 2. : the kits "for MQTT" have ESP-AT firmware (with MQTT enabled) preinstalled and are meant to be used as units controlled via UART with AT commands (see here - section AT command set) from another M5Stack device.

In contrast with the ATOM PoE Kit you can use the PubSubClient library to do MQTT.

Thanks

Thank you! I will test out and report back.

@felmue
for ATOM PoE Kit and AtomS3 documentation/coding is OK in C++ ;

Micropython framework Uiflow1 not support AtomS3 and framenwork Uiflow2 support AtomS3 but AtomPoe is not supported.

Do you happen to have any news on M5stack support for AtomPoe with AtomS3 in micropython (in Uiflow2/Uiflow1)?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Hello @Paolo

sorry no, I do not have any new information about that.

Maybe try to contact M5Stack support?

Thanks
