[Solved] Sonoff Basic R2 - 10A load for 5-7 hours, is it safe?

Welcome.

I am wondering how the SONOFF Basic R2 will handle a nominal load for a longer period of time.
I want to control with it a device that will be switched on once a day for 5-7 hours. There won't be a lot of current consumption at switch-on and switch-off, apart from maybe charging the capacitors of a small switching power supply. After initialisation, the device will switch on a load of approx. 10A for 5-7 hours within a few seconds.

Apparently 10A is the nominal load ... However, on a "GOLDEN made in china" relay, is it better to connect an external power relay.

Hello.
Better to use an additional relay/contactor.
This 10A, is the allowed maximum load, so it will be loaded with a limiting current. Also, manufacturers usually give the maximum value for a resistive load, and here you are supposed to have a switching power supply, which has a different nature of load.
Greetings.

Thank you.
You just confirmed my doubts. An additional relay is essential in this configuration.
