Q: if i connect pool pump on switch. will it take the startup amps

mark.p.lister Likely no. Typical pool pumps are around 800W / 4A at 200v. Although superficially within the rated amps for these relays a pump motor is an inductive load. See [www.springercontrols.com/news/how-to-size-a-contactor/] You could use the sonoff to drive the correct size contactor.
