Some thought

Nice, fun puzzle. It did take a little thought.

Third Thought

My second try, Rxh4+ (after checking Q moves) didn't work unless black cooperated with gxh4 but it led me to the solution and, in one line, allowed me to mate with the pawn - I just like doing that!

alternative solution

Rxh4+ also leads to checkmate in 2 with Be2+

As jaythefirst said, black can play Kxh4 and there is no mate in 2
