I am trying to put together a device that is POE powered with Relays. I was looking at the ESP32-POE and the MOD-IO2. My desire is to use it with ESPhome. I am not clear though that there is enough power to trigger the relays. If anyone has knowledge of this or a different combination of products I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
ESP32-POE can't power MOD-IO2 sufficiently - MOD-IO2 requires 12V DC and ESP32-POE doesn't have 12V DC output.
Consider using ESP32-POE2 instead which has 12V DC output:

You would also need a cable like this between the 12V DC output and the power jack of MOD-IO2:

Exactly what I needed to know, thank you so much.
