AI Presence Room Controller Kit with ESP32 + Relay
Build an AI-Powered Room Controller That Adjusts Lights & Fan Based on Activity – ESP32-CAM & Relay Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
What if your room could sense whether you’re working with focus, winding down in relaxation, or asleep—and automatically adjust lighting brightness and fan speed without you touching a switch? This kit puts that intelligence into your hands. Using the ESP32-CAM module and a machine learning model, you’ll build a device that classifies room activity in real time and controls appliances through a 4-channel relay. It’s a full-fledged AI automation prototype, ready to be mounted on a wall and demonstrated in academic or hacker spaces.
What You'll Build
A wall-mountable smart controller that captures images with the ESP32-CAM, runs an optimized TensorFlow Lite model to classify your activity (working, relaxing, sleeping), and triggers relays to dim lights, change fan speeds, or power off devices accordingly. The system also reads temperature and humidity from the DHT22 sensor and displays them on the 0.96-inch OLED—making it a compact environmental hub that truly understands how the room is being used.
What You'll Learn
- Deploy a TensorFlow Lite model on ESP32-CAM for on-device image classification
- Interface a 4-channel relay module to control AC appliances safely using flyback diodes and buck converters
- Read environmental data from a DHT22 sensor and display it in real time on an OLED screen
- Design a noise-free power supply circuit with LM2596 buck converter and filtering capacitors

Who This Kit Is For
Engineered for B.Tech students in ECE, EEE, or CSE streams who need a ready-to-deploy AI/ML project for their final semester, Smart India Hackathon, or research labs. It’s equally suited for ATL tinkering mentors guiding advanced student groups at IITs, NITs, VIT, or BITS Pilani. If you’re building an automation demo that must work reliably under academic scrutiny, this kit eliminates the guesswork of sourcing and integrating components.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion provides step-by-step debugging for every stage, and you can send a photo or description on WhatsApp for direct assistance from our team.
How is the AI model trained and deployed?
The kit includes a pre-trained TensorFlow Lite model optimized for the ESP32-CAM’s processor. You’ll flash it via the FTDI programmer, and the AI companion guides you through calibration for your room’s specific lighting and background.
Can I control appliances directly from the relay module safely?
The relays are rated for 10A 250VAC. We include 1N4007 flyback diodes and detailed safety wiring diagrams. For high-power appliances, always consult a certified electrician.
What if I want to modify the activity classes or add new ones?
The AI companion provides instructions to retrain the model on your own dataset using Google Colab. The ESP32-CAM can be reprogrammed multiple times via the FTDI programmer.
ESP32-CAM classifies room activity (working, relaxing, sleeping) and adjusts lighting and fan.
