This is a [WEMOS D1 Mini Pro](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G9HZ5LM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) that is connected to a [relay](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VRUAHLE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to control the power to the landscape lights around my patio. I used the WEMOS D1 Mini Pro because it has an external antenna. I initially used a [WEMOS D1 Mini clone](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076F52NQD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) but the power supply for my lights was to far from the house and I kept having connectivity issues.
### Switches
I plan to use dimmer switches for anything that is dimmable just for consistency and you never know when you might want to have an otption to dim a light. However there are times when a dimmer isn't an option.

#### [SANA Dual Switches](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QC5ZCHP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&th=1)
My basement bathroom has 4 devices (main light, fan, shower light, heat lamps) but only 2 single gang boxes (and not enough room to swith to dual gang) so these were a perfect fit. The prices is right, the buttons feel solid, and I was able to flash them using [Tuya-Convert](https://github.com/ct-Open-Source/tuya-convert). They do seem to have corners that are squarer then typical so I had a little bit of trouble getting a standard cover to fit but nothing I couldn't fix with a file.
