Additional Notes

• The code for the Arduino UNO is currently a template with empty setup() and loop() functions. These functions need to be populated with the logic to control the relay modules based on sensor inputs and possibly communicate with the ESP32 for more complex tasks.
• The ESP32 code is not provided in the input and should be developed to handle sensor data processing and wireless communication tasks.
• The documentation file for the Arduino UNO is empty and should be filled with relevant information about the code, including the logic behind the control algorithms and the interaction with other components in the circuit.
