Google expands on Tile tracking integrations

Google tin now tell you if your lost keys are near any Home or Nest devices in your house.

The earch giant recently posted a web log post outlining how Google and Tile work together to help people find their lost items with voice commands.

What was odd about this post, which came out on February 3rd is that y'all've been able to link your Tile account to your Google Assistant since Oct 28th, 2019.

Additionally, in that location's a single line at the bottom of the web log post that says, "If the Tile is at dwelling, you can apply your Nest device to determine the final location your Tile was seen. For example, y'all may get a response like "Your keys were last seen today at 9pm near the Kitchen speaker."

This is a super interesting function that might make tracking down your keys even easier with Tile. However, since Tiles devices beep and make sounds when y'all're looking for them, this characteristic is probably less useful than it seems.

All the same, it'south cool to see and if Google can integrate it into other devices that would be great. For instance, saying something like, "Hey Google, find my phone, keys and wallet," and getting a response that tells y'all what room of your business firm each affair is in would be really cool.

If you do have a Tile tracking device that yous haven't prepare with Google Banana you lot can find out how to do that here. Alternatively, you can also set information technology upwards with Alexa and Amazon'southward banana will ring your Tile when you lose information technology.
