ESP32 with Ethernet and WiFiClientSecure

Dear all,

I try to get an ESP32 running with an W5500 Ethernet controller and the possibility to use Arduino-MQTT ( https://github.com/256dpi/arduino-mqtt ) for MQTTS / secure MQTT.

First things first, the Arduino-Ethernet Library is widely used, however it does not work with ESP32 out of the box anymore.
According to the developers, Espressif changed libaries and are to blame for that. They had an pull request which would have fixed the issue in the library, but closed it now ( https://github.com/arduino-libraries/Ethernet/pull/107 )

So you have to get this https://github.com/arduino-libraries/Et ... Ethernet.h Ethernet.h and replaces it with the one in your default Ethernet library.

After this, I wired my W5500 module according to this

MISO = GPIO19
MOSI = GPIO23
RST = GPIO5
SCS = GPIO33
SCLK = GPIO18
GND = GND

and had to set Ethernet.init(33);
The resulting/working code to connect via Ethernet to MQTT was this:

However, I now need to use MQTTS via Ethernet.
For Wifi with ESP32, the library uses WifiClientSecure.
Is there any way to somehow connect the WifiClientSecure with the already existing socket of the Ethernet library and use the SSL functionality to make the connection?

Hello!
Did you manage to make it work?

You cannot use the WiFiClientSecure library with anything else--it's internally bound to the WiFi module.
However, you can use a wrapper library that utilizes the exact same mbedTLS functionality under the hood--and assign it to any device library that implements Client. I personally suggest https://github.com/alkonosst/SSLClientESP32/ as it utilizes the mbedTLS instance provided in the Arduino-ESP32 library.
