Ive been looking into them Pax Counters.
https://github.com/ThingPulse/esp32-gateway-paxcounter/
https://github.com/cyberman54/ESP32-Paxcounter
But I wanna use different hardware (Im want POE Counters)
So i choose the WT32-Eth01 module.
Argued with Claude AI for a couple of day's.
Ended up Producing this code to use in the Arduino IDE (Needs PubSub and NeoPixel)
https://smartaleclights.com.au/acl/wt32_paxcounter.ino
The POE Splitter handles the 48v down to 5v



Feel free to use it and edit it as you please
After Testing, I noticed that the 5G network wasn't being picked up.
So the next lots of parts i will be testing is the ESP32-C5 with the W5500 module.
Example of MQTT output.
Someone could make a FPP plug-in for it as well!
