M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit combines W5500 Ethernet communication, an RJ45 10/100M port, PoE power input, and UART AT-command control in one compact module. It is designed for embedded nodes that need a stable wired network path without adding a separate Ethernet board and local DC power supply at the endpoint.
The module connects to a host controller through UART, with a default 9600 bps 8N1 configuration. Network and MQTT functions are handled through AT commands, so the main controller can focus on sensors, logic, and application behavior. The unit supports up to four MQTT topic subscriptions and is useful when a m5stack mqtt example needs a repeatable wired transport instead of Wi-Fi.
Use PoE to Simplify Remote Node Installation
The integrated PoE stage accepts DC 37–57V from compatible PoE infrastructure and provides up to 1.2A at 5V, or 6W, for the local system. This can reduce cable count at cameras, monitoring panels, controllers, and distributed sensor nodes because network communication and power travel through the Ethernet installation. Compared with the non-PoE Unit MQTT, this version adds PoE power capability.
W5500 Ethernet for Stable 10/100M Links
The embedded W5500 and adaptive RJ45 port make m5stack ethernet integration practical for installations where radio coverage is unreliable, wireless access is restricted, or long-running wired connectivity is preferred. The module can fit industrial automation, security monitoring, automatic measurement systems, equipment telemetry, and gateway-connected data collection.
Plan MQTT Security Before Deployment
This unit supports MQTT communication but does not support MQTTS. For networks that require TLS-encrypted broker connections, place the device behind an appropriate secure gateway or choose hardware with native encrypted MQTT support. Confirm broker requirements before deployment rather than treating MQTT and MQTTS as interchangeable.
Integration Notes
Before commissioning, verify PoE voltage compatibility, confirm the available 5V load budget, configure UART parameters, and test broker address, credentials, topic structure, and reconnect behavior. For m5stack w5500 projects, also validate switch configuration, DHCP or static IP planning, and cable quality under actual installation conditions.

Q: What does the M5Stack MQTT PoE Unit combine?
A: It combines W5500 Ethernet, an RJ45 10/100M port, PoE power input, UART AT-command control, and MQTT communication in one Unit.
Q: Does it support MQTTS?
A: No. The unit supports MQTT but does not support MQTTS. Plan a secure gateway or different hardware when native TLS-encrypted MQTT is required.
Q: How many MQTT topics can it subscribe to?
A: It supports up to four topic subscriptions.
Q: How does the host controller communicate with it?
A: Through UART using AT commands. The default serial configuration is 9600 bps 8N1.
Q: What PoE voltage does it accept?
A: The specified PoE supply range is DC 37–57V.
Q: How much 5V load can the PoE stage supply?
A: Up to 1.2A at 5V, equivalent to 6W, under the stated specification.
Q: When is wired Ethernet preferable to Wi-Fi?
A: It is useful where radio coverage is unreliable, wireless access is restricted, or a stable wired connection is preferred for long-running equipment.
Q: Is technical documentation available?
A: Yes. M5Stack provides product documentation for U129-B covering setup and integration.

Questions Before You Order?
Find quick answers about product compatibility, shipping, returns, warranty coverage, and technical support. LogicBoundless helps makers, engineers, and developers choose suitable hardware and move from product selection to a working prototype with less guesswork.
How can I confirm product compatibility?
Check the product specifications, operating voltage, communication interface, dimensions, connector type, and software requirements before ordering. Compatibility may also depend on your controller, operating system, development framework, library version, and project wiring.
If you are unsure, contact us before purchasing and include your controller model, intended application, power source, and any other hardware you plan to use. We will help you identify the most suitable option, but we cannot guarantee that every product will work with every platform or project.
Does the product come with a warranty?
Warranty coverage may vary by product and manufacturer. If your order arrives damaged, incomplete, or appears to have a manufacturing defect, contact us as soon as possible with your order number, product model, and clear photos or videos of the issue.
Our team will review the information and provide the appropriate next step according to the applicable product and after-sales policy. Damage caused by incorrect wiring, unsuitable voltage, unauthorized modification, soldering, misuse, or operation outside the documented specifications may not be covered.
