Wi-Fi Based Home Automation

Hello Tech freaks, I'm back again with another interesting project based on IoT aka NodeMCU (ESP8266). In today's article, we'll make a Home automation system using NodeMCU and few other active components and modules. But first we need a stable Wi-Fi connection for all the method and program to be able to control. The main components are Relay Module and NodeMCU itself.

You can control four different AC or DC appliances using their project. This project is a local area network-based, so you can control it through one device. After uploading code successfully to the NodeMCU then it will generate a local IP address which you can see on the serial monitor screen. As soon as it is connected to the hotspot, it will notify you on the serial monitor screen.

For controlling the Appliance with the App you can download from given also the IP Address need to be copied successfully as it may not work if IP is wrong. The interface of the app is very user-friendly. WARNING: As we're working with AC supply make sure to make proper insulation to all the components and module i.e., making AC & DC supply abstracted from each other, else it may lead to some severe damage.

• NodeMCU ESP8266
• Four-channel relay
• Three AC bulbs and a DC fan
• Jumper wires
• Breadboard
• 220-volts AC supply
• 9-volts DC battery
• USB cable for uploading the code
