🔧 Hardware Setup

I2C Devices (DS3231 & OLED 128x64)

NodeMCU	Device
D1	SCL
D2	SDA
3.3V	VCC
GND	GND

Note: Both I2C devices share the same pins. For I2C address conflicts, adjust pull-up resistor values.

4-Channel Relay Board

NodeMCU	Relay
D3	IN1
D5	IN2
D6	IN3
D7	IN4

Important: Do not fetch power from ESP GPIO Pins for relay board. Connect GND between NodeMCU, Relay and power supply.
