The ESP32 Handyman home automation web server is up and running. The ESP32 connects to your local WiFi network and then you can connect via your cell phone or your computer or tablet and control eight devices. These are hard wired to an eight relay device which you can see in my previous post. The ESP32 serves up the webpage and switches the eight relays which are in turn wired to the devices you want to control. Virtually all of my lighting is led types. In my shed / shop area I have at least ten led light fixtures all on one circuit. I checked the load with an amp meter and it was less than two amps. The relay switches are rated for 10 amps so no problem there.
I still get a lot of views on this page... it is a pretty old post but I think it's featured on my Facebook page and that's how folks end up here... my home automation has evolved quite a bit in the years since... these days have a raspberry pi running Node Red which gives a grapical interface for setting up web pages with control options. It communicates with the ESP32 devices which act as remote IO and provides extended input and output controls and they all communicate using the MQTT sever which is also running on the raspberry pi.
