Step 1: The Board & Shields
Wemos D1 Mini
11 digital input/output pins, all pins have interrupt/pwm/I2C/one-wire supported(except D0)
1 analog input(3.2V max input) a Micro USB connection
Compatible with Arduino
Compatible with nodemcu
DHT11
Temperature: -20~60°C Humidity: 20-95%RH (±5%RH) It uses D1 and D2 of the WEMOS Board and is extremely popular. They tones of information and code already written for it.
Relay
The relay is a basic 5v relay and can switch up to 15A @ 120V I\

About Blynk (from there website):
Blynk is a Platform with iOS and Android apps to control Arduino, Raspberry Pi and the likes over the Internet.
It’s a digital dashboard where you can build a graphic interface for your project by simply dragging and dropping widgets. It’s really simple to set everything up and you’ll start tinkering in less than 5 mins. Blynk is not tied to some specific board or shield. Instead, it’s supporting hardware of your choice. Whether your Arduino or Raspberry Pi is linked to the Internet over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or this new ESP8266 chip, Blynk will get you online and ready for the Internet Of Your Things.
Step 4: Wiring It Up!
I had some Christmas light that had burned out and last year when all the LED were on sale I upgraded. I have a few sets of light laying around so I cannibalized the plugs from both ends. I spliced one of the wires together using solder and heat shrinkable tubing. The other wire I tined (solder) both ends but not together. Once it had cooled I trimmed them so that none of the metal would stick out. I then screwed them into the normal open (NO) and common (COM) terminal blocks.
I used some electrical tape to cover any of the exposed circuitry and leads.
I used a ziptie blocks and a Zip tie to secure everything to the compartment.
Step 5: Install
Install was really easy (for me).
As you can see my fan has 2 plugs under the plastic cover. One will be for the fan and the other will for usb power.
I plugged everything in and fed it through where the light once was.
Once I had it all wired in and powered up I gave it a test, and when it worked I installed the zip tie block.
Step 6: IT WORKS!
It worked first shot.
I had done a bunch of testing before be never hooked up to anything. So glad it worked and now my home automation has started!
