The relay is rated for 2A@30V, and 60W above that.
See https://www.mouser.com/datasheet/2/315/mech_eng_tx-1075670.pdf figure 1
on page 3 for a visual of this.
I'd recommend that you test the relay operation with an ohm meter before
trying a circuit. There should be conductivity between C and NC and none
between C and NO when the value is set to zero, and opposite that when
it's set to a one.
If it doesn't work, upgrade the firmware to the latest and try again.
There have been a couple of relay bugs fixed in recent memory. Also make
sure that the relay on above and below rows are set to a very high and low
number since if that is enabled it will override the relay.
