Bingo! And it's not off topic because we're trying to determine ETL listing for any peace of mind.
And there is still no peace of mind as all of EigenStone's products appear to be just re-branded Aqara products. Same or nearly the same model numbers and everything.
ETL searches turned up nothing for the relay. Caveat emptor.
True. From these photos the quality looks OK. Companies donāt usually spend the money on more expensive components like the Panasonic relays and then skip out on the rest of it.
Many of the ads for Xiaomi products Iāve seen state that they have fire retardant plastic, which is important. It would be odd for them not to use it across the entire line. Even for products that are intended only for distribution in China.
But yes, by all means, let the buyer beware, I am not a certification body.
Officially you canāt get away with much in Aus these days AND if you import something yourself, you are liable !
We have our own requirements called RCM.
Here is a good video review of the AQARA relay module, albeit in Spanish, but it should be clear enough. It also includes how to configure the device in HE.
Hi all,
I'm trying to find out if in fact I could buy this relay board and use it as dry run relays.
In case I could mod it to reach the goal if someone can confirm me it's possible, and how.
Many thanks!

However, I just added two 110v coil relays. Only cost $9 extra. The Xiaomi dual relay independently closes each of the 110v relays, and the contacts on those 110v relays become your dry contacts. Iām using mine to close the arm and disarm button contacts for a 3V DC alarm remote control.
Hello @njanda, thanks for the link, I'll check it!
@SmartHomePrimer, could you give me some more infos or share me some details about which coil relays to use and to wire? Only to be sure!
(I know, we've to be careful about the voltage in use. Btw here I'm on 220V, means I should use a bigger coil relay?)
@xefil The coil needs to match the mains input Iām using 120v coils, because thatās my mains voltage here. I wrote 110v before because I assumed you were in the US and it confuses people sometimes if you write 120v, which is my actual input voltage here Canada. Some of us Americans think the world runs on 110 and 220v @60Hz We also think everywhere uses ZIP codes, when in fact, it is ONLY the US that uses them
You might be able to find something locally that will be smaller and more suitable to the particular application you have in mind. You'll be looking for something similar to this...
Outside of Italy, you may only find larger relays like this one online. They tend to get really big when they are 220~240v coils, becuase our typical North American applications to 220~240v involve motors with a large current draw. It took me some time just to find the sort of small 120v coil relays I used. Smaller is available, but the Omron I ordered are easier to work with because I can attached connectors to the terminals and they have tabs that allow me to secure them to something. This is what I bought, but obviously, it's the wrong relay for you because the coil is rate to my local voltage.
Hi, I have a problem connecting xiaomi relay with the ir switch, please help if it can be connected.
this is the switch, the switch needs power and it puts electricity on the bulb
why does not make sense? the motion sensor controls the light, but I can always turn on/off the light manually. Unfortunately, when I tried to connect I burned the led power supply and xiaomi relay
And after that it still doesnāt make sense? The IR device was a relay itself and needed a constant supply power. Power cycling one for the other would and sounds like it did, fry them.
Anyone know whether you could use one of these to control your garage door opening? I currently use a Sonoff 4ch which is great except that there is no device handler to get it working in Hubitat without doing firmware upgrades etc and I'm shying away from that atm.
