“In this IoT project, I have shown how to make IoT based Smart Home Automation Using Blynk & ESP32 to control an 8-channel relay module from the manual switch & smartphone using the Blynk App. If the internet is not available, then you can control the home appliances from manual switches. During the article, I have shown all the steps to make this home automation system.
This ESP32 control smart relay has the following features:
1. Control home appliances with WiFi (Blynk App)
2. Control home appliances with manual switches.
3. Monitor real-time feedback in the Blynk App.
4. Control home appliances manually without internet.
You need just an 8-channel relay module & ESP32 board to make this smart home project.
