So, you have a bunch of these
ESP8266 ESP01 relay modules. And you want them here and there around your home
to operate the lighting, heating, and the like. Let’s consider one of ways you can
control them with the RemoteXY app.
Let us first make a simple smartphone
interface with remotexy.com. And configure the Wi-Fi access point
connection for the ESP8266-based board. Then select the Wi-Fi on-chip
module and FLProg IDE. Add a label with the
appropriate text and a switch. Click on get source code to copy
the code for use in FLProg.
Create an ESP8266 ESP01 FBD project in FLProg.
Enable the access point from the controller WiFi module settings.
Input a network name and password if required. Then add the GPIO0 digital output for the relay.
Insert the RemoteXY block into the program and paste the earlier RemoteXY code in the
download description of the inputs/outputs tab. In the communication mode tab, observe that
the built-in WiFi module, Access Point, and port number selections in the
RemoteXY web interface were updated.
Connect the output of the RemoteXY
block to the relay output tag. Then click on the upload button.
When the Arduino IDE is displayed, ensure that the Generic ESP8266 board
type and the port number are selected. Also, select the Reset Method
of your ESP01 before uploading. Repeat these whole steps for as
many ESP01 Relays as desired.

For demonstration purposes, light bulbs are connected to the ESP01
relay's NO terminals, COM, and 110 or 220-volt AC power supply, as shown.
And 5 to 12-volt DC power supply. Add a new device and select the WiFi
point to connect to the first ESP01 relay. Go back to the main screen and hold
down the ESP01 relay access point icon. Change the name to FRONT LIGHT.
You can also change the access point icon to that of a bulb and the button colour if required.
Go back to the main screen and connect to the other ESP01 relay.
Repeat the previous steps and change the name to BACK LIGHT as well as the icon.
You can have as many ESP01 Relay added to the RemoteXY main screen in this way.
And connect to them individually to turn them ON and OFF as needed.
