Disclaimer: As an over-engineered fun project, I found a way to work an optocoupler into this fix where a standard transistor would have done well. Why? Because I have hundreds of them lying around and always ask myself when I will use them. Today was that day!

This is long and detailed, so don't bother watching if you will just complain about that.
__________________________________________________________
Making the ESP-01 ESP8266 Relay Module so it will work with normal Arduino sketches, using either GPIO0 or 2 to trip relay.

I use nothing more than an optocoupler to replace a STCF104W microcontroller, which is not only manufactured wrong, but the screenprinting on the PCB is wrong. This caused me to smoke a transistor, which I replace caveman-style.

The useless STC microcontroller is ripped out, and the output of GPIO0 is used (+3.3v logic) to provide the +5v logic the STC was SUPPOSED to provide via AT pins-if it were even correctly manufactured in China.

ESP8266 Arduino Core
ESP8266 Arduino Core is the Arduino core for the ESP8266 WiFi chip. It brings support for the ESP8266 chip to the Arduino environment, allowing you to write sketches, use familiar Arduino functions and libraries, and run these directly on ESP8266 without the need for an external microcontroller....
Zimodem
The ESP8266/ESP32 comes with modem simulator firmware, but it's confusing, verbose, and lacks a lot of the features that would make the ESP really look like a modem to a client computer. This project attempt to fix all those flaws with a custom Arduino implementation of that software.
Arduino HomeKit ESP8266
This Arduino library is a native Apple HomeKit accessory implementation for the ESP8266 Arduino core and works without any additional bridges. This project is mainly based on an esp-home kit for ESP-OPEN-RTOS. I ported the RTOS-based implementation of the esp-home kit to the pure Arduino...
