WiFi Relay Switch
Build a WiFi Relay Switch with ESP8266 — Control Appliances from Your Browser
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
With this kit, you’ll assemble a WiFi-connected relay that lets you turn a lamp, fan, or any appliance on and off from a web browser on your phone or laptop. The intuitive interface updates instantly, showing whether the appliance is active — no app downloads, no cloud dependency, just your local network. It’s a real-world introduction to IoT without the complexity of external platforms.
What You'll Build
You’ll wire an ESP8266 NodeMCU to a 5V relay module, two status LEDs, and protection diodes on a breadboard. Then you’ll flash the microcontroller with ready-to-customize code that hosts a simple web page. When your device connects to the same WiFi network, opening a browser URL brings up buttons to toggle the relay — and an LED that mirrors the real state. The complete circuit is stable enough to leave running as a permanent home automation gadget.
What You'll Learn
- Programming an ESP8266 using Arduino IDE and its WiFi libraries
- Wiring a relay module to safely switch high-voltage AC appliances
- Creating a web server on a microcontroller that serves real-time HTML
- Using flyback diodes and current-limiting resistors to protect components

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for CBSE Class 11–12 students building physics or computer science projects, first-year B.Tech ECE/EEE students exploring IoT, and makers at ATL labs and hackathons who want a reliable, ready-to-code home automation prototype. If you’ve tinkered with Arduino before and are ready to add WiFi control, this kit delivers a complete experience.
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?
Scan the QR code to open the AI companion; it knows every step of this exact project and can walk you through debugging. You can also reach us on WhatsApp for direct help.
Can I control a real 230V appliance like a fan or lamp?
Yes. The 5V relay module is rated for up to 10A at 250V AC, enough for most home appliances. Follow the included safety instructions and never touch live wires while the circuit is powered.
Does this work without an internet connection?
Absolutely. The ESP8266 creates a local web server on your WiFi network — no internet required to control the relay from your browser. You can later modify the code to add cloud access if desired.
What software do I need to program the ESP8266?
You only need the free Arduino IDE with ESP8266 board support installed. Our guide walks you through setup in minutes, and the provided code is ready to upload.
ESP8266 controls single relay from web browser interface on local network. Status reflected in real time.
