Tile has it’s IoT based key finder device series which uses Bluetooth 4.0 for the connectivity. Basically tile key finder device work with your Android or iOS device to find or locate your lost keys with ease. After it’s launch in 2015, tile has sold over 4.5 million units by 2016.

- Size of tile key finder is very small, 1.5 square inches.
- Inbuilt battery that can run for over 1 year duration
- Water proof hardware design
- It has inbuilt Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 chip (to communicate with other devices like your smartphone) which comes with 150 ft. Connectivity range
Functioning: As mentioned earlier, it uses Bluetooth connectivity for pairing. Let’s suppose you lost your key or camera or purse or anything else. By using mobile app you can ring this smart device which produces sound of 90 decibels of volume intensity which is enough to find where the device is?
But what will happen if you crossed this limit. Still can you locate it? Absolutely, because if the tile will come in contact within the range of other tile app activated device, it will send the messages regarding its location to the owner so that he/ she could find it.
Application: You can use it for daily life thing. One tile app account can connect up to 8 tile devices.
Specially useful if you are working where there is a lot of stuff in which your important things can get misplaced.
Conclusion: Overall good product. But I wouldn’t suggest for those who want to use it for daily use because this device will make your things forget easily since you will become dependent on it.
But you can use at places as I already mentioned where there are a lots of things like construction places, boutiques etc.
