Flashing, testing email and configuring the device

Use ESP flasher or comparable tool for flashing ESP32 devices
https://github.com/esphome/esphome-flasher/releases
Use your phone to connect to device by wifi AP set by device "tasmota ..."
You will be redirected to wifi setup page (required even if you only plan to use it over Ethernet later) Use 192.168.4.1 if no auto redirection
Wifi configuration page will provide you with the new IP address that it has received from the network
To test sending emails just go to Consoles>Console and write + enter
*if using this on some esp8266 or arduino script <> symbols might be required around receivers
```
sendmail [smtp.gmail.com:465:gmail.username:16leterspassword:senders.email@gmail.com:receivers.email@gmail.com] test
```
If successful you might prefer to flesh your device with a bin without extensive email debugging, since Tasmota is already installed you can use OTA update through the web interface
If using Olimex ESP32 PoE Board configure the board and pinout by:
1. Goig to Configuration > Configure Other menu
2. Copy the template from https://templates.blakadder.com/olimex_ESP32-POE.html to the template wind
```
{"NAME":"Olimex ESP32-PoE","GPIO":[1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,5536,1,1,1,1,0,5600,0,0,0,0,5568,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,1],"FLAG":0,"BASE":1}
```
3. Tick Activate and Save
4. Restart the device
5. Ethernet should be working
If you plan on using GPIOs as input in the script make sure the pin that you are planning to use is not reserved by system
1. Go to Configuration > Configure Template
2. Go to the GPIO you want to use ( for example on Olimex ESP32 PoE board button is connected to GPIO34 )
3. Select user from drop down menu
