ESP32 WiFi Controlled Home Automation and Android

Updated: Jul 27


In this tutorial, I 'll Publish how to controlling LED On/Off using web server over WiFi using ESP32 and android application. An Android application using the MIT app inventor that allows you to control the ESP32 GPIO pins and digital read the GPIO pins status.


Components Required

ESP32S Development Board - 1 no

LED - 4 nos

330ohms Resistor - 4nos

Jumper wires


Circuit Diagram



Installing the library

To install the library navigate to the Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries… Wait for Library Manager to download libraries index and update list of installed libraries.


Download  WiFi manger Library , we need to use this library for WiFi function.


In your Arduino IDE, to install the libraries go to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP library… and select the library you’ve just downloaded.


After Arduino IDE installed, there is no package to support ESP32-S2, we need to install the ESP32 package in Arduino IDE to continue.


 Select “File>Preferences>settings>Additional Boards Manager URLs” to fill the link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_dev_index.json

}


**************************************



After a successful upload, open the Serial Monitor at a baud rate of 115200. Press the “EN/RST” button on the ESP32 board.



ANDROID APPLICATION

The Android app developers generally use JAVA language, but this Android app can also build without knowing the Java language. This app inventor is specially designed for Block programmers those who don’t know the JAVA language.
