My son has a bag which he takes with him to Kindergarten every day. I’d like to throw in something like an Apple AirTag to be able to see where the bag is, but I have a couple of requirements:

  • No subscription
  • Should work in South Korea (AirTag does not work here)
  • Sometimes it’s me who brings hem to Kindergarten and I have a Android phone, sometimes it’s his mom with a iPhone
  • It should be somehow connectable to HomeAssistant as a device tracker to see where the bag is (or at least if it’s at home or not)

Any ideas what would work?

    I live in South Korea and AirTag definitely works? Didn’t know it doesn’t. I thought it did because you can get one. Bummer.

    btw, I suggest you get Samsung Smart tag. They’re basically Samsing equiv. of an AirTag. I assume it will work equally well as an AirTag since there’s more Samsung devices around here. It’s also connectable with HA.

      Is it really connected? I can’t get “find my phone” connected to HomeAssistand so I assumed they both work with the same software which does not have an open API.
