I see the announcement of the new ESP32-POE2 (https://olimex.wordpress.com/2024/01/29/new-esp32-poe2-open-source-hardware-board-in-development-with-802-3at-high-power-25w-deliver-12v2a-5v5a-3-3v1a/) board, can we expect more details soon?
Particularly intrigued by the new pin header, assume this is a 1-for-1 replacement for the solder points?

My specific use case is for switching 12VDC via a SSR, right now I use a daughterboard (https://www.amazon.com/Acxico-1-Channel-High-Low-Trigger-Arduino/dp/B09JJXGZKM) connected via jumper wires and fed by an external power supply.
The design ESP32-POE2 is shaping and in final stages. The big things about ESP32-POE2 over ESP32-POE - the 25W total output, 12V DC output available on the header when powering from POE, and the availability of JTAG signals.
I wrote this to support@olimex.com but no replay so far...
Do you know when esp32-poe2 will be available for sell on the website ?
Also, could you please tell if will be compatible with
https://www.olimex.com/Products/USB-Modules/USB-ISO/ in order to allow galvanic isolation between remote computer and esp32-poe2 powered via Poe ? ( I am still in development phase and still debug and need usb connection to the board in order to debug it )
Also , maybe it is implied, but my plan is to use esp32-poe2 and power
https://www.olimex.com/Products/Modules/IO/MOD-IO/open-source-hardware
and
https://www.olimex.com/Products/Modules/IO/MOD-IO2/open-source-hardware
in order to avoid 12v additional power source ( and use the esp32-poe2 power )
Any ideea, the above MOD-IO / MOD-IO2 can be powered from 5v in order to use the additional GPIO's ( but without relays ) so I can speed up environment development for now ( until esp32-poe2 is available and power normally from 12v ) ?

Very soon. ESP32-POE2 is already tested and in the warehouse, we just have to put up the web-page to sell it (and all related resources).
It would work for your goals.
Yes, MOD-IO and MOD-IO2 can be powered by less than 12V to power everything except the relays.
