You can control upto 9 devices from esp8266 without connecting any additional or supporting board to it.

WiFi web server:

This program connected to the wifi home server that is specified by the user, Once it connected to the homeserver, you can check the IP address assigned to the esp8266 by logging into your WIFI modem and check for the DHCP Clients List. Open a broswer and type in the IP address that your esp8266 has associated with, you will see the webpage returned by the module and wait for the command from the user.
