ESP32 Smart Home Controller Kit - Build a Web Dashboard for Lights, Fan & Lock with Live Sensor Monitoring

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Gain complete control over your living space from any browser. This kit guides you through assembling an ESP32-based smart home controller that lets you switch lights, fans, and an electromagnetic lock via a self-hosted web dashboard. Live temperature, humidity, and motion data from the DHT22 and PIR sensor feed the interface, while an RFID reader adds secure keyless access. All firmware updates happen over Wi-Fi - no USB cable needed once deployed.

What You'll Build

You'll create a permanent automation node that mounts inside an enclosure. The web dashboard displays real-time sensor graphs and toggles for each relay channel. Tapping a tag on the MFRC522 RFID sensor unlocks the 5V solenoid lock, and the OLED screen shows local status. Because the entire system supports OTA updates, you can refine the dashboard or add new logic remotely.

What You'll Learn

• Serve a responsive web dashboard directly from an ESP32, handling multiple HTTP requests for sensor data and device control
• Read DHT22 temperature/humidity and HC-SR501 PIR motion events, then push updates to a live web UI via AJAX
• Integrate an MFRC522 RFID reader and control a solenoid lock through a relay, complete with tag authentication logic
• Enable over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates so your project can evolve wirelessly without physical disassembly
