WiFi Controlled RGB Light
WiFi Controlled RGB Light — Your First Colour IoT Project Using ESP8266
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn any corner of your room into a connected light zone that you control from your phone or laptop browser. This kit walks you through building a web page with colour picker sliders that instantly change the hue of two bright RGB LEDs using pulse-width modulation. It is the perfect first IoT project — you will learn how a microcontroller talks to a browser over WiFi and how to make real-time colour mixing happen with simple code.
What You'll Build
You will assemble two RGB LEDs on a breadboard, wire them to an ESP8266 NodeMCU, upload a pre-configured sketch, and access a sleek web interface from any device on the same WiFi network. Pick any colour from the spectrum, and the LEDs glow accordingly. Once built, you can integrate the circuit into a decorative lamp, a notification light, or a night-light that changes colour with a tap.
What You'll Learn
- How to connect an RGB LED to an ESP8266 and control each colour channel with PWM
- Setting up a web server on a microcontroller to serve an interactive HTML page
- Writing C++ code to read slider values and map them to 8-bit PWM duty cycles
- Understanding the basics of IoT — how devices communicate without Bluetooth or cables

Who This Kit Is For
If you are a student in CBSE Class 8–12 or a first-year B.Tech ECE/EEE learner looking for a hands-on mini-project, this kit is tailor-made. It is also widely adopted by ATL Tinkering Lab coordinators and Smart India Hackathon participants who need a quick IoT proof-of-concept. Weekend hobbyists and parent-child duos will enjoy the generative colour play and the clarity of the build process.
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 have 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?
Scan the QR code on the box to start a conversation with the AI build companion trained on this exact kit. It will diagnose issues step by step. If you need human help, you can also reach us on WhatsApp — we respond within hours.
Do I need to know coding to build this?
No — we provide the complete Arduino IDE sketch with comments. The AI companion explains each line as you go, so you can learn while building. No prior coding experience is required.
What if my WiFi router uses 5 GHz only?
The ESP8266 works only on 2.4 GHz networks. Most dual-band routers support both frequencies; just ensure 2.4 GHz is enabled. The AI companion can guide you through network troubleshooting.
Can I connect more than two RGB LEDs later?
Absolutely. The breadboard has plenty of space, and the same PWM pins can drive additional LEDs in parallel with extra resistors. The AI companion can help you scale the circuit and modify the code.
ESP8266 web page has colour picker sliders that control RGB LED via PWM. First colour IoT project.
