ESP32 Wi-Fi Home Automation Controller

Project Overview

Control low-voltage demonstration loads using a responsive local web interface.

Objectives & Learning Outcomes

Wi-Fi connection, authentication, manual override, relay state recovery

Required Hardware

ESP32, isolated relay module, low-voltage lamp test rig, power supply

Suggested Build Stages

1. Review the components and create a low-voltage wiring plan.
2. Assemble the prototype and test each sensor or module individually.
3. Implement firmware, display or communications in small verified steps.
4. Integrate the modules and document operating states and failures.
5. Run validation tests and prepare demonstration documentation.

Testing & Validation

Test offline fallback, restart recovery and unauthorized access rejection.

Suggested Deliverables

Working demonstration, wiring diagram, commented firmware, test observations, component list, project report outline and presentation outline.

Educational project concept. Verify circuit values, actual component compatibility and safe operating limits before assembly. Illustrations are representative, not exact build photographs.
