Hardware

Items

  1. ESP8266 (aliexpress) / ESP32 (aliexpress)
  2. 3.3V to 5V converter (aliexpress)
  3. PCF8574AP (aliexpress)
  4. 8-port relay (aliexpress)
  5. Plastic Box (amazon)
  6. AC plug socket (aliexpress)
  7. 3-pin AC cable (aliexpress)
  8. 2 sockets (Home Depot)

Instructions

  • Break the tab on the sides with brass screws
  • Connect each of the brass screws to Normally Open (N/O) on relay

plug

  • Use PCF8574AP (exact version used here)
  • Use 3.3V to 5V level shifters for ESP8266 I2C data
  • Set A0, A1, A2 to GND so I2C address is 0x20
  • Use 5V as VCC on PCF8574AP
  • Use a good 110V AC to 5V DC device like a phone charger
