I found out why the ESP-01 was not booting up correctly …you have to connect the chip power down pin too to the 3v3 line for it to work right …i guess it was a requirement that i did not know about 
Not too long ago we did this together that actually works flawlessly

Which also uses an ESP-01 and a serially controlled relay with SmartThings and ST_Anything.
I have one request please can you guide me on how to incorporate the webserver part of the above example into it ( [RELEASE] ST_Anything v2.9.2 - Arduino/ESP8266/ESP32 to ST via ThingShield, Ethernet, or WiFi) it will be really practical to have something like this in my situation since i have lots of family members and cousins that come in and out of the house that do not have Smartthings on their phones so i can share a code with each of them and also be able to change it once in a while.
I really appreciate all you do and i completely understand if you have no time or patience to deal with it
Thank you again
Denis
