* 220V to 5V power adapter (10W), [bought on Aliexpress](https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005011566356715.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.41.53a81802JCkFmo&gatewayAdapt=glo2ita) (4€ in Oct 2025); please note that it's very important that you choose a power adapter module that can provide up to 2Amps because when the relay modules switch simultaneously, they can draw quite a good amount of power. I had many issues with the ESP32 board hanging or rebooting during OFF->ON transitions due to power supplies that were rated just 5V and 1A (5W).
