Wireless Controller

This document provides a Python script that utilizes OpenCV to capture video from a webcam and detect hand gestures to control a relay via an ESP8266 module. It includes functions for sending HTTP requests to the ESP8266 and detecting hand gestures based on skin color segmentation and contour analysis. The script runs in a loop, continuously capturing frames and controlling the relay based on whether the detected hand is open or folded.
