On May 10th, Google announced that their “Find My” device network would allow bluetooth trackers to be tracked by any Andoid device (just like AirTags), and already competitors Chipolo and Pebblebee have preorder pages for compatible devices coming mid-July.
I hope Eufy can release devices compatible with Google’s network for android too!
Now, third-party Bluetooth trackers for Android’s network are starting to arrive. The two companies that have announced products are Chipolo and Pebblebee, both of which seem to be cloning the Tile line of products. Both offer normal keychain tracker tags and slim credit card format trackers. The worst habits of Tile include making completely disposable products because the batteries can’t be changed, but it looks like our clones have mostly avoided that. All of Pebblebee’s Find My Device products are rechargeable, which is great, while the Chipolo keychain tracker has a replaceable CR2032 battery. Only the Chipolo wallet tracker is disposable (boo!).
