Imagine a cube, cut in half horiz, the top is attached to ceiling, motor with wound cables lift and lower the bottom half (couple grams heavy relatively light) through google home voice control preferably and / or Phone
I’m completely new, I think I need a main board thing esp8266 a battery supply, motor h bridge and the servo. But there are so many options and combinations, I just need help actually choosing the right things.
If their is anything that is mostly together and only need to attach two things that would be preferred. And cheaper the better. All help will be required, apologies if I’ve not followed the etiquette but days of researching had only made me want to cry.
Completely 0. I can understand quick if everything is explained. All i need, is someone to send me the exact link to the exact products I need. If I just search myself I will buy the wrong connection size or voltage. Battery powered esp WiFi google home connected servo motor. Please someone just tell me what to buy. Every last little thing. I’ve have been at this for weeks and no one wants to help.

My imagination is rubbish, and even if were any good there is no guarantee I would imagine what you are imagining, please provide a drawing, diagram or something to show us what you mean. Please post in line with the forum rules.
I'm completely new
Then you need to learn the basics, which means following the examples on this web site, in the IDE and elsewhere. Get yourself an Arduino of some kind and learn how to program it. I guess you also need to learn the basics of electronics too.

You have already said you think you need an ESP8266, why do you need us to find one for you? There are loads on Amazon and EBay, as well as in other retail web sites.
In any case, buying the wrong stuff is part of learning. You buy a part, try to use it, learn about it and from that work out what part would do the job better. Save the spare part for a future project. I recently used something I bought 20+ years ago.

You will get more help if you show signs of having tried yourself. Maybe you have tried, but there's no evidence of your efforts here. You must have found products you think might work so post details and ask meaningful questions.

Unfortunately I don’t have enough money to risk wasting by just buying stuff and experimenting on. I know I will probably make mistakes but I’d rather keep costs low asp.
So I think I need a main board eg nodemcu, a wifi esp, hbridge and motor and battery.
Does this theoretically work?
Am I missing a vital component?
So far, I think I can get a board+esp+single battery all combined, should I use a 3x 4.5v battery also?
"Please someone just tell me what to buy. Every last little thing. I've have been at this for weeks and no one wants to help."
I don't think anybody is going to do that, not their project. I suggest you get a WeMOS D1 development board and a continuous rotation servo to start experimenting. Then you will have a better idea of what you will need for your project.
pappk96:
Is it possible to code it to perform a certain amount of revolutions/degrees, or to make it rapidly perform multiple bursts?
If you use a Dc motor, you can put a sensor on the winch shaft to count revolutions.
Are you using a SERVO or DC motor?
Can you post a picture of your motor/winch if you have an assembly already?
Thanks.. Tom...
