Step 1: Preparing Your Arduino IDE
1. Preparing your Arduino IDE
Upload the Arduino code file to your Arduino IDE, make sure to select ESP8266 as your board, and the correct COM port is selected.
You’ll also need to install two additional libraries to have everything ready for your ESP8266:
- RBDdimmer.h - https://github.com/RobotDynOfficial/RBDDimmer
- ESP8266WiFi.h - https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino
- PubSubClient.h - https://github.com/knolleary/pubsubclient

Step 2: WiFi Configuration
Once the code has been uploaded:
- open the WiFi connection utility.
- Find WiFi network “WiFi Dimmer” and connect.
- Open browser 192.168.4.1
- Configure Dimmer controller to home network access
Step 3: Find Dimmer Address
- Connect to home network and find the dimmer IP in your network with any IP scanner utility
Step 4: Result
Open dimmer IP in browser and dimming a power with sider
