The original Tile has been finding lost keys for a few years now. The new Pro Tile goes one step further. Or should we say, 200 steps further.
The new Pro Tile triples the locator range. Tap the Tile app button on your smartphone to hear your keys sing a merry tune from up to 90 metres away, or check the map to follow the direction to find them in a noisy room.
And, let’s say it’s your smartphone that has been lost between the sofa cushions. Push the button in the middle of the tile and a muffled cheery cry for help will come from between the sofa cushions.
Pairing it to your smartphone is simple and quick. And here’s a cool feature: You can ask Siri or Google or Alexa to find your keys by setting up that connection on your smartphone or home system. With an upgrade to Premium, the Tracker will generate smart alerts to let you know when you’ve left without your keys; free battery replacements are included.
With a guaranteed year-long battery life (and the capability to swap out for a fresh battery), the Tile Pro will help you find everything you can attach it to.
