Overview of the Project
Using ESP8266, a module that packs WiFi connectivity, we created a simple on and off switch using IoT WiFi.
How It Works:
The user can easily turn on and off several lights or devices using a mobile phone. No need to rely on the switch. The device will need to connect to 1 of 2 preprogrammed WiFi. So, make groups of a switch and turn them all on/off by the push of 1 button. The interface between the switch and the phone will be managed by the Blynk Application.
IoT WiFi On and Off Switch
Concept: In the same way of turning your lights on/off, but instead of doing it
manually this project will automatically switch on/off your lights by just using your
phone. Simply connect the mobile phone to nearby WiFi connection and use
the Blynk Application. This application lets you create a button that you can use
to turn on/off the lights. Now, the user can control it with his/her phone
anywhere.
Materials Needed:
- ESP8266
- SSR
- Breadboard
- Light Bulb
- Socket
- USB Cord
- Jumper Wires
- Blynk Application
Actual Set-up and Components:

IoT Switch Set up
Problem/s:
- There is no display in the serial monitor upon uploading.
Solution/s:
- Simply press the reset button and make sure that you are connected to a
WIFI or hotspot.
Further Developments
- Aside from the bulb, you can add other devices such as an
electric fan. - You can also use LED Lights to switch the color of your choice.
