Strictly seen, Relays are not a plug-in driven device like most other devices. If the device keeps rebooting/wont start a wifi use esptool to erase_flash and reflash it Once flashed, restart device and join WiFi network ESP_Easy-0 password configesp Enter version number of download (eg: 20100) Check device manager for which com port and enter that

Command prompt execute: flashSerial.cmd The ESP8266 actually has more ram and flash than an Arduino, so you can do a lot with it. Getting a module with more IO is certainly a valid alternative. Some steps I noted down of when I flashed them: You can also check out the Frankenstein firmware. esp8266 framework stack for easy configurable applications esp8266 framework includes all services like gpio, wifi, http, mqtt, ntp, ota, napt, espnow, mesh, server etc. I saw the branch of Tasmota for ESP32 but couldnt get it right (I was struggling with my USB UART as well so I'm not sure if it could've worked), but I ended up putting ESPEasy onto them and that worked very easily Click to expand.I bought a few ESP32 D1 mini's in error when I first wanted to try out all this home automation stuff.
