ESP8266 Relay Module Project

This project demonstrates how to control a relay module using an ESP8266 microcontroller. A relay is an electromechanical switch that allows low-power circuits to control high-power devices. The ESP8266 will toggle the relay state on and off in intervals, showcasing basic control over an external load.

Components Needed

Circuit Diagram

Circuit Setup

1.Connecting the Relay Module to ESP8266:

Connect the control input pin of the relay module to GPIO pin D1 on the ESP8266.

Ensure a common ground (GND) connection between the ESP8266 and the relay module.

The relay module typically requires a separate power source for its load side (not shown in basic setup).

Instructions

1.Setup:

Initialize serial communication at a baud rate of 9600 for debugging purposes.

Set the relay pin as an output using pinMode().

2.operation:

In the loop() function, toggle the relay state:

Repeat this cycle indefinitely.

Applications

Home Automation: Control lights, fans, or other appliances remotely.

Industrial Automation: Manage high-power devices based on sensor inputs.

Security Systems: Integrate with alarms or access control systems.

Notes

Relay Module: Ensure the relay module used supports the voltage and current requirements of your load.

Serial Output: Use the Serial Monitor to debug and monitor the relay state changes.

safety: Properly isolate and protect high-voltage circuits and ensure correct wiring practices.
