- Sun Feb 06, 2022 1:19 pm #93575 i have a few modules spread around in the house that each esp8266 node mcu controls a single relay board 5v. Each relay controls a lamp of 220v. For each of the devices i have 2 power sources:
-one for the board
-one for the relay

i would like to get rid of the extra power source for the board and use a single power source to power up both. Could someone advice on how to wire and what other modification do i need for this task please?
