Current ESP32-POE can deliver only 5V @ 2A and this limits some use cases like door opening solenoids for access control. We got number of requests from customers to re-design with possibility to deliver 12V and higher power, this is how ESP32-POE2 idea was born.
ESP32-POE2 is with credit card size and now have three power supply outputs: 12V up to 2A, 5V up to 5A and 3.3V up to 1A
All else remain same as in the classic ESP32-POE.
If your POE router can’t supply 25W do not worry, ESP32-POE2 has 13W backward compatibility which is enabled via JUMPER. So it can work with both 13W and 25W POE routers/switches.
Right now we are testing the design, production will follow in end of February. Price will be a little bit higher than the classic ESP32-POE.

I am a huge fan of boards with built-in POE, I like so see to have a new board I can choose from. Great to see this new addition.
What I am still missing: A board with POE and a very small footprint!

Can we also get a Wiznet W5500 + ESP32-S3 N16R16/R8 to use the Ai Processing features with voice voice assistants in ESPHome?

I can’t wait to be able to order some of these. Since the “end of February” is long gone, is there any update?
