# ESP8266 Timer Switch

## Overview

This project utilizes the ESP8266 WiFi module to control two relays based on user-defined time settings. It includes a web interface for configuring relay schedules and provides real-time status updates on an LCD screen.

## Features

- Set custom on/off schedules for two relays.

- Web-based configuration interface.

- Real-time status display on a 16x2 LCD.

- WiFi connectivity with automatic network creation if connection fails.

## Setup

### Hardware Requirements

- ESP8266 board (e.g., NodeMCU)

- 16x2 I2C LCD

- Two-channel relay module

- Resistors, wires, and power supply

### Software Requirements

- [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software)

- ESP8266 board support package

- LiquidCrystal_I2C library

- ArduinoJson library

### Configuration

1. Install the required libraries in the Arduino IDE.

2. Open the `uploaded_code.ino` file in the Arduino IDE.

3. Update the `arduino_secrets.h` file with your WiFi credentials.

4. Upload the code to your ESP8266 board.

## Usage

### Web Interface

1. Connect to the WiFi network created by the ESP8266.

2. Open a web browser and navigate to the IP address displayed on the LCD.

3. Set the desired on/off schedules for relay 1 and relay 2.

4. Click "Set Time" to apply the changes.

### LCD Display

The LCD displays real-time information, including charging status and relay schedules.

### Variable Retrieval

To retrieve variable values via a GET request:

- Send a GET request to `http://[ESP_IP_ADDRESS]/get-values`.

- The response will be a JSON object containing:

  - `targetTimeRelay1`: Schedule for relay 1.

  - `targetTimeRelay2`: Schedule for relay 2.

  - `currentTime`: Current time in minutes.
