I figured out the problem why boardmodel was not properly filled in fw_printenv, https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/17920 // ZyXEL GS1900-10HP revision B1 support OpenWrt firmware? - #32 by mirkovogt

I am guessing /etc/config/poe should look like this for the gs1900-24ep:

config global
	option budget	'130'

config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'1'
	option name	'lan1'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'2'
	option name	'lan2'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'3'
	option name	'lan3'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'4'
	option name	'lan4'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'5'
	option name	'lan5'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'6'
	option name	'lan6'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'7'
	option name	'lan7'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'8'
	option name	'lan8'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'9'
	option name	'lan9'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'10'
	option name	'lan10'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'11'
	option name	'lan11'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'
config port
	option enable	'1'
	option id	'12'
	option name	'lan12'
	option poe_plus	'1'
	option priority	'2'

It seems to work :slight_smile: poe works on the ports I tested.

$ ubus call poe info
{
	"ports": [
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan1",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan2",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan3",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan4",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan5",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan6",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan7",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan8",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan9",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan10",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan11",
			"consumption": "0.0"
		},
		{
			"enabled": "yes",
			"priority": 2,
			"name": "lan12",
			"consumption": "4.0"
		}
	],
	"pse": "Nuvoton NUC029ZAN",
	"consumption": "15.4",
	"budget": "130.0",
	"poe_ports": 16,
	"mcu": "Realtek RTL8238",
	"guard": "11.0"
}

shows 16 ports though, is that an error?

I added the RTL8238B datasheet to our collection. https://github.com/plappermaul/realtek-doc/blob/main/RTL8238B%20Datasheet.pdf

Plus the host command guide https://github.com/plappermaul/realtek-doc/blob/main/RTL8238B%20Host%20Command%20Guide.pdf
