 Micro-Project Report
“Fan Speed Controller Using NodeMCU with Relay Module”
1.0 Rationale:
The Fan Speed Controller Using NodeMCU with Relay Module is an IoT-based system that enables
remote control of fan speed through a web interface or mobile app. The system utilizes the
NodeMCU microcontroller to process user inputs and control the fan's speed using a relay module
for switching the AC voltage to the fan motor.
2.0 Aims / Benefits of the Micro-Project:
• The primary aim is to automate the process of controlling the speed of a fan based on real-time
conditions or user preferences using a smart system.
• The system aims to integrate IoT capabilities, enabling users to control the fan speed remotely via
a mobile app or web interface through the NodeMCU microcontroller and Wi-Fi.
• By controlling the fan speed intelligently based on environmental conditions (e.g., temperature or
user input), the system aims to save energy and extend the lifespan of the fan.
• The system intends to provide a simple user interface (via a smartphone app or web browser) for
easy control of the fan speed.
• Users can control the fan speed from anywhere, whether inside the home or remotely, using a
smartphone or computer via the IoT platform.
• By adjusting the fan speed based on room temperature or usage patterns, the system optimizes
energy consumption and helps lower electricity bills.
3.0 Course Outcomes Integrated:

d) Suggest the relevant loT technologies for Digital Factory.
e) Suggest the different electronic systems for smart world.
4.0 Actual Procedure followed:
4.1 Brief Description :
The Fan Speed Controller Using NodeMCU with Relay Module is a smart and efficient system that
allows the remote control of a fan’s speed using the Internet of Things (IoT) technology. The system
uses the NodeMCU (ESP8266) microcontroller to connect to a Wi-Fi network, enabling control
through a web interface or mobile app. The fan's speed is adjusted by activating a relay module,
which controls the high-voltage AC power going to the fan. Depending on the user’s input from the
app or interface, the system can adjust the fan speed by switching between different relay channels,
effectively controlling the fan’s motor.
In this setup, the NodeMCU interacts with the relay module, which acts as a switch to regulate the
power delivered to the fan. The relay module is controlled by the NodeMCU's GPIO pins, enabling

Department of Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering 4

 the selection of different fan speeds. The fan operates at full speed when the relay is in one state and
at lower speeds when the relay switches between different configurations. The fan speed control can
be integrated with a user interface like a web page or mobile application, where the user can choose
from predefined speed levels. The NodeMCU adjusts the effective voltage supplied to the fan, thus
providing smoother speed control.
This system is designed to improve comfort by automating the fan's operation based on
environmental factors such as temperature or user preferences. The use of NodeMCU also makes it
scalable for future enhancements, such as integrating sensors for automatic speed adjustments based
on ambient temperature or linking the system to a home automation network. Overall, this IoT-
enabled fan speed controller provides an efficient, automated way to manage fan operations,
offering both energy savings and user convenience.
