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)

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.

Someone could make a FPP plug-in for it as well!
