I don’t know about you, but I’m constantly misplacing my keys. And the remote control. The tiny Tile devices are a great way to keep track of things that you drop in odd places. You can put them in your wallet, your handbag, or your luggage. I even have one stuck to a Roomba robot vacuum that tends to get lost under furniture.
How does it work? A Tile communicates with your phone via a Bluetooth connection. Depending on the Tile device you choose, the range for locating your lost item is 150-400ft. If the item is within that range (say inside your apartment), you can use your phone to tell the Tile to make a chirping sound that will help you track it down. If the misplaced item isn’t in close range, you can use the Tile app to report that you lost your item. The Tile will anonymously communicate via Bluetooth with ANY phone that has the Tile app installed and send you a notification about your Tile’s latest location. I know one person who was able to track down a lost wallet at a post office all the way across San Francisco using this method.
Let me know if you need up setting up a Tile.
