  • You attach one of these small Bluetooth tracking devices to your item, for example, bag/keys/purse/remote.
  • Next you pair it with the app on the iPhone.
  • When the item goes missing, you can use the app on the iphone to track the item.
  • In case the item is stolen, you can mark it as "lost" on the iPhone and this enables anyone in the world with the app to help you search for your lost item anonymously and securely.

    Can these be used for tracking pets ?.

      Yes, if you are happy with the range limitations of bluetooth. Also consider how waterproof they may be.

      • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 14:11

        Tile bluetooth tracking device is waterproof

    • argonbay on 18/02/2015 - 14:07

      Pod - Don't know anything about it but looks cool. Appears to be Bluetooth so range would be limited but happy to be corrected on this.

      Wireless trackers for animals have been around for a while (ie Garmin Alpha). These communicate GPS location back with wireless technology as in a 2 way radio so range is again limited.

      Again have not had any experience with these!

      • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 14:13

        Following is the text from the manufacturer website:-

        Bluetooth Low Energy

        The device uses a new kind of radio called Bluetooth Low Energy. Don't let the name fool you. Bluetooth Low Energy is not the same as Bluetooth Classic and consumes 50 times less power than Bluetooth Classic. TrackR was one of the first companies to use Bluetooth Low Energy in 2011 and this amazing technology enables TrackR to have a 1 year battery life while maintaining its small size.

  • droodle on 18/02/2015 - 13:17

    need something similar to this .. so with this if you for example lost your keys in a field .. they would only be found if someone came within bluetooth range and had the app ?

    Is there something else that does this like a GPS tag ?

    cheers.

    • DJ on 18/02/2015 - 13:23

      GPS is a receive-only technology, so your lost item needs some way of communicating it's location back to however you are tracking it. It has no way of telling you what it's GPS location is.

  • Krazyy on 18/02/2015 - 13:18

    I have two of the "Trackr" — different business/company i guess? The only problem with them is, you are limited to around 5-10m range from the tracker itself.

  • DJ on 18/02/2015 - 13:19

    You spelt wearable wrong

    • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 14:20

      The spellings are intentionally wrong, it is hard to get wearable domain name.

  • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 13:20

    Yes these can be used to track pets.The range is 100 feet.

    Hi Droodle, a GPS tag would be much more costlier solution with associated monthly fees.

    • chonkie on 18/02/2015 - 13:26

      I disagree that a GPS tag would necessarily require monthly fees. I'd agree the initial outlay may be higher, and that the battery drain would be greater and therefore there would be a routine energy cost, but I haven't heard of monthly fees using the GPS… system. (ATM machine, etc, …)

        GPS is a one way street…actually, it's not even a street, it's a ping of information at set amounts of time. You need some ability to report back the location, either in realtime (GPRS/data stream) or at points in time, ie. SMS.

        Either way, you need some device to relay that information back to you, usually in the form of a sim card that texts you or sends you location data via an app or website. That's the costly part.

        • chonkie on 18/02/2015 - 13:36
          -1

          Your argument doesn't hold up when the entire gamut of GPS enabled devices are looked at. You have GPS enabled fitness watches, in-dash GPS and stand-alone GPS devices to name a few, which don't use the cell network. They either query their own internal data, or retain co-ordinates for later download.

          Plus there are mapping apps, some free, that allow users to go offline, so only the ping remains as a means of "communication".

          So there's really no ongoing cost, unless the manufacturer decides there to be.

        • damion on 18/02/2015 - 13:50

          @chonkie:
          There must be a way for the lost GPS device to report back to you. Most GPS trackers take a SIM and use the cellular network to communicate back to the base, which requires fees of some sort.

          There's only 1 bluetooth GPS tracker that I know of, the blutracker by sticknfind. But usually if the device is within bluetooth range, you don't really need GPS co-ordinates to find it.

        • geoffellis on 18/02/2015 - 14:17

          @chonkie:

          You're confusing some things here. It's one thing for a device to get its own GPS coords. It's another to send that data to a 3rd party. The GPS satellite cant be given a phone number and told to send its GPS location to some other person. The GPS satellite just responds to a beacon on the device. the device then simply plots your location on stored maps.

          If you then want to send the data/GPS coords the device has to some 3rd party, you need some sort of data transfer service, be it a simple SMS, or 3g internet connection. your gps device doesnt have some magic ability to tell any one, any where, its location. simply because it can determine its own location.

        • richie83 on 18/02/2015 - 15:41

          @chonkie:

          Your argument doesn't hold up when the entire gamut of GPS enabled devices are looked at.

They either query their own internal data, or retain co-ordinates for later download.

          Hence 'one way street'. Your GPS device receives a ping from several GPS satellites. It's triangulated based on several satellites to a coordinate. The device calculates those coordinates and plots it into a built in or 'connected' map (ie. Google Maps).

          Your GPS does not talk to GPS satellites. It does not send data or information to a GPS satellite. End of Story. You've completely overlooked any part of my comment. There is going to always be some sort of cost involved in getting those GPS coordinates back to you if the device isn't with you. And that's the exact idea behind a tracker.

          So please tell me, if the tracker is attached to something, let's say, your car. And your car gets stolen. Please tell me how you're going to extract the coordinates of the tracker, without having it in your possession? I'll be here waiting for an answer.

    Hi Joshuah, our company has tested atleast 10 different brands and you are right most of them have 5-10 metre. We selected to sell Tile/Trackr and Duet because the range was good between 50 feet to 100 feet, quality of the ringer was good and all 3 are established international brands and sells like hot cakes in USA.

  • chonkie on 18/02/2015 - 13:27

    Hey Associated Rep, any chance of getting the Pebblebee in?

  • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 13:29

    Hi DJ, the spellings are intentionally wrong. It is very hard to get the wearable domain on the internet.

  • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 13:31

    Hi Chonkie, Pebblebee is currently in testing with our company. There is an updated and improved version of Pebblebee coming soon and we will be selling it in very near future. Soon we will also be selling Beacons with a retail software solution packaged with it.

  • PVA on 18/02/2015 - 13:42

  • StevieRay on 18/02/2015 - 14:10

    What are the differences?
    What is battery life roughly like on each one?
    Are batteries replaceable, what does it take?

    • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 14:16

      Battery life is approx 1 year on each one.

      • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 14:17

        Replacing is very easy, just unscrew and put a new battery.

        • Jakal on 18/02/2015 - 14:32

          No on a tile, it's batteries aren't replaceable.

      • StevieRay on 18/02/2015 - 14:59

        Maybe I should be more explicit.
        What deciding factors should I consider when choosing any one of the trackers available.

        What are the outstanding features that 1 tracker may have over the other?

        ie Tile is skinny but cannot replace battery

        Are any of them waterproof / resistant?

  • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 14:18

    Following is very interesting regarding the crowd gps network for the Trackr product
    1) Pls open the following link
    http://thetrackr.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ff40c17b7…
    2) Towards the mid of the page is a crowd gps map.
    3) Just put Australia in that map and see how many people have already downloaded this app.
    4) You will be amazed.

  • rodericb on 18/02/2015 - 15:17

    Maybe I am a jaded old coot but I think these Bluetooth tracking things are a bit, well, useless.

    Edit: oh wait,the average person will lose 200,000 things over their lifetime, according to the product blurb…… Wait, what?

    • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 15:42

      This is what the statistics tell.Anyways, I agree with you that it is hard to believe.

    • mad__llama on 18/02/2015 - 16:00

      Probably true, but at least 195,500 of these "things" will be hairs.

      • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 16:21

        Haha. Well said. This still leaves 4500 items to lose.

  • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 18/02/2015 - 16:31

    Anyone here having any type of retail store or coffee shop/restaurant etc.
    We will soon be releasing a software solution with Beacons for the retail market.

  • ESEMCE on 19/02/2015 - 08:16

    I won a Trackr from their referral program.. It arrived last week and I think it's quite possibly the most pointless device that I have ever owned.
    If you were to lose the item to which the device is attached, you'd have to rely on:
    a) someone recognising the Trackr and knowing how to activate it (involves pressing a button that doesn't look like a button at all, even to a mega-geek like me)
    b) having the Trackr App installed or knowing that it can be downloaded and doing so.
    c) having the Trackr app work sucessfully and detect the tag (I've found the App to be a bit buggy)

    All of the above is overly technical (even if Trackr were to take off and be successful, only a fraction of the population will know what to do) and far less reliable than just putting a tag on the item with your name and phone number. Am I missing something here?

    • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 19/02/2015 - 09:29

      Hi Scubacoles,
      With Trackr, it takes some time to get used to it. In my opinion Tile is a simpler solution. It does less work but does it correctly.
      "Last seen location" and "Crowd GPS" network are the beneficial features of these devices.

      • ESEMCE on 19/02/2015 - 10:46

        And it's better than Name (or not even that) and Phone number how?
        Pretty simple question to answer…
        I'm betting that the answer is "It's not", but I'm more than willing to be convinced otherwise.

  • Associatedsmarteratech @ weerable.com.au on 19/02/2015 - 11:34

    Good article in the newspaper regarding the tracking devices:-
