Hi,

My goal is the have an ethernet line connecting a PCB to a router, then I can write to the PCB and program components such as doorbell buzzers and buttons through a local network. I need to find suitable components. I've done research and right now am thinking of using an ENC28J60 module connected to an Arduino.

I don't really know how to approach this. This is my very first ethernet electronic task. Any help will be great!

 

ESP8266 is a natural for this, wireless. Tons of videos/projects on Youtube, Web.

MQTT as message protocol.

Interface to PC via Thingspeak, Ubidots, Blynk,,,,,,

Thank you for the information, however, my task requires the PCB to use a RJ45 ethernet jack. Do you have any other recommendations?

 

Why roll your own? Arduino sells an Ethernet shield that does exactly what you want.
