With each passing year, the concept of SmartHome is becoming increasingly popular, and the availability of solutions that help us manage our living space more efficiently is growing. In addition, some products that appear on the market offer compatibility with older devices, thanks to which we can use the existing equipment together with the latest technological advancements. Remote control of home appliances and the automation of various processes helps improve energy efficiency, protect the environment, increase our comfort and save money. The Smart ESP8266 remote project developed for a contest held by TechMasterEvent combines all these advantages.
