IoT is one of the most important technologies right now since everyone wants to live easier lives. RelayFi, a product with the goal of improving people's lives, is launching on Kickstarter this week.
4 Channel Smart Relays board
RelayFi is powered by ESP32-WROOM with other components like 4 channel relays, an optocoupler for safety, 4 relay selection jumper, a USB port for programming, and power supply. The board is compact and has the ability to run four devices simultaneously. One can also connect it with other microcontroller like Arduino, STM32 etc by using relay selection jumper.
TASMOTA support
TASMOTA is an incredibly clever open-source custom firmware that can be installed on any smart home device with an ESP Wi-Fi chip. Local control of the smart devices is offered through MQTT, HTTP, Serial, or Web UI. For all IoT enthusiasts, this is wonderful news because it will increase their comfort. Now that they have connected the RelayFi and TASMOTA, they can use a phone or other electronic device to control the devices.
RelayFi is, in my opinion, the ideal board for consumers who want to control their devices. Through the USB connector that also serves as the board's power source, they can immediately program it.
Dimension- Before starting with RelayFi, Please make sure relay selection jumpers are connected.
- Now install ESP32 boards for Arduino Ide by visiting below tutorial.

- Connect RelayFi with Pc/Laptop using Micro USB cable. A blue power Led will glow on board.
- Now open Arduino Ide and select board as "ESP32 Dev module" and select the com port.
- Copy and paste the source code from GitHub repository and press the upload button to upload the code to RelayFi board. No need to press reset button while uploading.
- Relay will start triggering on/off once uploaded successfully.
