Yes.
See image of the board and switch. only 1 light on at the switch side. No led lights on at the network port on the board.

Managed to be successful.
In HA i have all the input sensors,
The SSD1302 oled screen is showing the T: H: AC.
I loaded the successfully compiled file, after i downloaded it, via the web.esphome.io. I was getting the OTA devices couldn't be resolved. I missed that point and it was the main point.
what antennae can you recommend. when i move the board close to the DB i loose wifi signal. i want to install antennae on the M16 board on the esp32.

if you use wifi, you need connect with IPEX cable + 2.4G wifi antenna.

or use by only this FPC wifi antenna:

will see how i can send, i'm not a whatsapp user.
this is the latest. my oled display only show 1.3V. it is plugged into 230v plug.
i connected 30A/1v ctclamp on CN1. there was no change in HA. i can see the entities now in HA but cannot get the power usage showing. i think my filter lines might be incorrect.

because you have only connect L and N with L3 and N3. your yaml file is print voltage channel one.
it.printf(0, 40, id(roboto), "AC:%.1fV", id(voltage_1).state);
you can change to :
it.printf(0, 40, id(roboto), "AC:%.1fV", id(voltage_3).state);
or you can connect L1,L2,L3 together and N1,N2,N3 together.
