The Donato PoE Module

A whole controller, powered by the network cable.

Plug in one Ethernet cable and the board powers up, gets on your network, and starts driving up to four loads at 2 amps each — LED strips, relays, solenoids, a garage door. No wall adapter, no WiFi credentials, no fragile setup.

PoE+ powered, up to 25.5W

IEEE 802.3at Class 4. Power and data arrive on the same cable, so the board lives wherever the network reaches — no outlet required.

Four high-current outputs

4× MOSFET channels at 2A each on a screw terminal, level-shifted for clean 12V switching. Drive lights, motors, locks, or relays.

Ethernet-first, no WiFi

A wired LAN8720 PHY means rock-solid connectivity. No 2.4 GHz dropouts, no captive-portal dance, no re-pairing when the router reboots.

Home Assistant & WLED

Choose your firmware: ESPHome for deep Home Assistant integration, or WLED for addressable lighting. Your board, your way.

Self-service provisioning

Pick firmware, generate a config, and flash from the browser at our provisioning portal. No toolchain to install.

Built to last

An ESP32-WROOM-32E brain, professional 6-layer PCB, and a power section engineered and revised for real-world reliability.

The name

Four generations. One connection.

Donato is a family name — Puerto Rican, passed down from grandfather to father, to me, and now to my son. Four generations carrying one name.

That idea sits at the heart of everything here: connections that are simple, dependable, and built to last. Just as the name was handed down intact, every Donato product delivers power, data, and control through one clean connection — no clutter, no compromise.

— Gabriel Donato Medina, founder
