1-Channel Wi-Fi Relay Module – 5V DC (With ESP-01 ESP8266)
Bring wireless internet control to your appliances with the 1-Channel Wi-Fi Relay Module. Precision-engineered by Muonix, this smart IoT module combines a heavy-duty 5V switching circuit with the legendary ESP-01 (ESP8266) Wi-Fi transceiver.
This compact module allows your smartphone, computer, or cloud server to wirelessly switch lights, fans, locks, and small appliances from anywhere in the world. Built under strict lead-free manufacturing practices, it provides an all-in-one plug-and-play solution for smart home automation, remote industrial tracking, and custom wireless IoT deployment.
Key Features
Smart Wi-Fi Interfacing: Driven by an onboard, removable ESP-01 module (ESP8266), giving you native 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity to run standalone web servers or link directly to cloud MQTT brokers.
Plug-and-Play ESP-01 Slot: Features a dedicated $2\times4$ female header on the board. Simply plug the pre-programmed ESP-01 module into the socket, and your wireless relay configuration is ready to deploy.
Long Transmission Range: Capable of establishing a stable open-environment wireless communication range up to 100 meters using the ESP-01's integrated PCB trace antenna.
Optocoupler Signal Isolation: Built with high-speed optocouplers that create a safe, physical light barrier between the wireless ESP8266 logic and high-voltage rails, protecting your silicon from inductive voltage surges.
Dual-Mode Wireless Flexibilities: Supports multiple wireless protocol profiles out of the box: AP Mode (acts as its own Wi-Fi hotspot) or STA Mode (connects to your home or office router network).

Lead-Free & Soldering Safety
100% Lead-Free PCB: The base circuit board is constructed from eco-friendly, lead-free materials, aligning fully with global industrial safety and environmental practices.
Factory Pre-Soldered Components: All heavy-duty terminal blocks, optocoupler footprints, and power traces are mounted using high-grade, lead-free solder wire to ensure optimal electrical conductivity.
Enhanced Thermal Strength: The premium lead-free solder joints offer superior resistance against crystallization and structural drying, even when cycling heavy 10A electrical loads over extended periods.
🛡️ Compliance Note: Fully RoHS Compliant & Lead-Free architecture. This ensures a clean, non-toxic hardware profiling that is completely safe for educational engineering workshops, academic university labs, smart home enclosures, and commercial automation control panels.
Hardware Port Mapping & Interface Controls
The module layout is built for rapid wiring and instant system diagnostic checks:
Hardware Controls: Includes a manual onboard Reset Button to safely reboot the microchip without physically stripping out the incoming power lines.
Onboard Indicators: Features two bright diagnostic LEDs—one serving as a dedicated Power Indicator and the other displaying the active real-time closing state of the relay channel.
3-Way Load Terminal Block: * NO (Normally Open): The circuit stays disconnected/open until a wireless Wi-Fi command triggers the relay to close.
NC (Normally Closed): The circuit stays connected/closed by default until wireless logic triggers it to drop.
COM (Common Terminal): The central main power wire from your load connects directly here.
Common Applications
DIY Smart Switches: Build custom, discrete wall switches to control appliances via phone apps or smart home ecosystems like Home Assistant and Blynk.
Wireless Access Controllers: Wire the output contacts directly to solenoid door locks or motorized gates to toggle security access over Wi-Fi.
Industrial Wireless Telemetry: Act as an internet-connected automated sub-relay node to cycle factory equipment or reset remote servers.
Safety Warning: Working with high-voltage 220V–240V AC mains lines carries an inherent risk of electrical shock. Always ensure your main power breakers are completely turned off before cutting, stripping, or securing wires to the screw terminal blocks.
