I have a problem using ESP8266-01 with a relay. I would like to control a 110 V light using a 5 V relay.
Here is the circuit I made:
I am sure that the code is correct, because when the relay's pins are not connected to 110 V, everything works just fine. I know that because I can hear relay's contacts "click".
The problem comes when I connect 110 V lines to the relay. It works fine until I get a boot message. In general, a boot(3,6) message, and everything is restarted.
I think the problem is that I use GPIO 0 to control the system. I guess some current flows into the GPIO 0 pin and makes the ESP8266-01 go on boot mode (that is why I put D2), but I am not sure.
I really want to use GPIO 0 pin because it is smaller than node MCU.
Any ideas?
