    A warm welcome to the forum,
    I acquired something like this the other day. I couldn't find type designations anywhere, so I'm uploading a photo.

    How to Connect and Control Unknown Smartbox Device with Safemate App on Android .

    At the time I got it up and running and used it, but then put it away in a drawer.
    Now I've found a use for it, but I've changed phones and don't have an app to control it. As I recall it was supported by the Safemate app. I installed it but unfortunately it doesn't find the device.
    Does anyone know how to run this under Android ?

    Perhaps this is the device?

    .
    There is a pairing in the video - "long press switch until red light flashing rapidly".
    Helpful post? Buy me a coffee.

    After the initial joy, I got down to the connections. Unfortunately, it turned out that the box where I was to install this relay was out of range of my WIFI. So I installed a Tenda range booster and got it up and running.
    Unfortunately I cannot connect the relay to this network. :( The network is extended because I checked with my mobile.

    Is there any way to get it to connect to this extended network? It seems to be fixated on the main WIFI and can't see anything else.

    Well I wasn't familiar with the site and I guess I was looking for it wrong. Now it has worked. I reset, reconnected and it works :) .
    But I know what mistake I made. Because I somehow intuitively performed the reset operation in the room, but I did not switch off the device and it logged back into the home network. Now, after the reset, I switched it off and went to the control box. There I connected and this time it connected to this network *****_EXT.
    Thanks for your help.

Topic summary

A user acquired an unidentified smart relay device controlled via the Safemate app on Android but lost the app connection after changing phones. The device was identified as a Sonoff 1 Channel Inching/Self-Locking Relay. Pairing requires a long press on the switch until the red LED flashes rapidly. Initial connection succeeded, but the relay was out of Wi-Fi range. After installing a Tenda Wi-Fi range extender, the relay could not connect to the extended network, as it appeared fixed to the main Wi-Fi SSID. The solution involved performing a proper device reset by switching off the device before resetting, allowing reconnection to the extended network SSID (e.g., *****_EXT). Following this procedure, the relay successfully connected and operated via the Safemate app on Android.
