I may be wrong but I think ESP-07 modules only have 512k of flash memory. The ESP-07S has 4 megs of flash. The -07 will not work with the newer versions of ESPEasy.

The pull request has been merged into the Mega builds. You can use it right now.
The chip can sink up to 50ma per pin. Plenty for most relays I would think.
That is of course if the relay triggers on with a ground signal.
