The Haseman RS-10PM2 is a versatile device that has truly enhanced my smart home setup. I stumbled upon this device after a long search for a reliable way to control my custom-built air conditioning system. Being a homeowner with specific needs, I was thrilled to find that this relay module could handle not just lighting but also more complex systems like HVAC.

For those considering this device, I highly recommend checking out the GitHub repository where the main and child drivers are available. The installation process was a bit challenging, especially since the fingerprint matching wasn’t perfect, but with some manual adjustments, everything fell into place.

One thing I found particularly useful was the ability to create multiple child devices for each relay channel. This allowed me to assign specific functions to each channel without complicating the setup. I also appreciate the power metering feature, which gives me insights into energy consumption.

If you’re thinking about integrating this device into your smart home, here are a few tips:

  • Start Simple: Begin with basic on/off commands to ensure all channels are working correctly.
  • Test Thoroughly: After installation, cycle through all switches to confirm responsiveness.
  • Explore Customization: The device’s flexibility means you can adapt it to almost any use case, from lighting to HVAC control.

Overall, the Haseman RS-10PM2 has been a game-changer for me. Its reliability and versatility make it a standout choice for anyone looking to expand their smart home capabilities. Happy tinkering!

Nice write-up and thanks for sharing. I also have experience with the RS-10PM2-ZB, the Zigbee revision of the device.

I’ve been using it with Home Assistant. In my case, several relay outputs are used for outdoor lighting and irrigation valves, so instead of installing many separate relay modules, everything is controlled from one device in the electrical panel.

I have tested it with ZHA and also used it with Zigbee2MQTT. Both integrations can expose the relay channels/electrical parameters, and Home Assistant makes the automation side quite easy.

One strong point is that the device is not only a 10-channel relay controller, but also includes two-way energy metering. In my installation this is useful for monitoring grid import and solar export from the same device.

It is also possible to adjust internal parameters, such as switch type, power-up memory, meter reporting interval, and clearing the kWh meters. via service AP/config page.

Overall, for the RS-10PM2-ZB, I can say it came in handy in my installation and has been working reliably so far.

Happy tinkering too!
