Hi, sorry for my poor English.
I have create a home iot device to control the light and fan, but Wifi in my apartment sometime not stable. I want to connect my RainMaker device using Lan cable but unssucessfull. Have anyone done before?, please give me some hint, thank you.
What I have done:
- I useed Wifi provision to accociate with RainMaker app and worked perfectly
- After that I change Wifi to ETH in setup function. I used to do it before and have no problem with Telegram bot example, google Firebase example, but not work with RainMaker
- I am using Arduino Framework, I also tried with ESP-IDF but same result

Sorry for the late response. I am still having issues connecting ESP-Rainmaker via the ETH port through the LAN-8720 chip. Here’s what I’ve done:
- I successfully used Wi-Fi Provision to registered Rainmaker device and control the device via Wi-Fi.
- After that, I modified the program, turned off Wi-Fi, and connected via the Ethernet port. The board connected to the internet successfully, and I could send and receive Telegram messages, but I couldn't connect to Rainmaker; there were no signs of a connection to Rainmaker. I suspect Rainmaker is still trying to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi.
- After failing to connect Rainmaker through Ethernet, I reverted the program back to the Wi-Fi connection, and it runs Rainmaker normally.
Please give me your advice. Thank you very much.
