I tried:

Re: reed relais

Don't forget that a level converter only transforms the voltage level. All the current that flows through the relais will flow out or into the GPIO of the ESP. Max current a GPIO can safely handle is 12mA note#. So if your 5V relais has a coil-resistance of 500 ohm the current will be 5/500=0,01A or...
