Tutorial: How to use DC12V ESP8266 Wi-Fi Relay Module with Four Channels

This Wi-Fi relay allows you to control electronics remotely via a mobile app. Ideal for smart home projects.

What you need

• DC12V ESP8266 Relay
• Arduino or compatible microcontroller
• 12V power supply cable
• Ground cable
• Wi-Fi antenna
• Mobile app for smartphone

Steps

1. 1. Ensure the power supply is 12V.
2. 2. Connect the relay to the microcontroller: VCC to 5V, GND to ground.
3. 3. Connect the relay channels (CH1-CH4) to digital pins on the microcontroller.
4. 4. Connect the Wi-Fi antenna to the relay.
5. 5. Upload the Arduino code to an Arduino.
6. 6. Configure the mobile app to connect to the relay.
7. 7. Check the Wi-Fi connection via the serial console.
8. 8. Check the app interface to control the channels.

Example code

```
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

const char* ssid = "nomeSSID";
const char* password = "passwordSSID";

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  delay(5000);
  Serial.println(WiFi.status());
}

void loop() {}
```

Mini project

Create a remote lighting system using the app to control 4 lights.
