UdfSmartSocket is a smart socket that uses the ESP8266 microcontroller. This IoT relay socket connects to your Wi-Fi network using WiFiManager. It polls a server to receive ON/OFF commands and then controls a relay that operates home devices. With UdfSmartSocket, you can manage your appliances from anywhere, enhancing your smart home experience.
