An open source app for those bag, key, and wallet trackers. Maybe I just haven't been able to find one
That won't really work because the trackers themselves need other people's phones to work so they basically have to be integrated with some large phone vendor's or phone OS vendor's infrastructure.
I'm not looking for a Tile-like network. Most of these cheap devices seem to work off of just letting you know when you are disconnecting from their Bluetooth as far as I know.
For tile thats a paid feature lol, as in monthly subscription to use a device you paid for to its fullest extent.
Yeah I know that's part of the reason I'm looking for an open source alternative. Tile does more than that when you have a membership but I don't need a huge suite of features
