In this example we will use the Espressif ESP32 working as Web server with WiFi connection, that host a web page witch allows to control on-off state of two relays. This can be util for to drive high voltage loads connected to 110VAC or 220VAC, such as motors, electrovalves, contactors, etc.

/*********
ESP32 Web server
Includes an lcd H44780 conected via I2C bus. The IP addres obtained via
DHCP protocol is printed in the display.
The dispay even shows the status of each of two relays conected
and handled by the HTML code.
This sketch it is based on the Rui Santos original Web server example
and was modified by me in Ramos Mejía, ARGENTINA, August 2020.
