How do I control a switch via WiFi?

I want to build an android app that controls an appliance.

I did some online research and found out that I'll be needing a WiFi module (for example ESP32).

My question is, how do I integrate control of said module into my python\ Java code, and can I use my pc as the server with which it interacts?

Since interacting with a something physical via code is new to me, any other tips are welcome.
