Your post makes no sense to me. Can you explain further what you want?

Cool

Just a caveat.....the tiles only work within about a 100ft range, as they are bluetooth based. If you misplace something within your home, the tiles will function very well.

However, if your keys happen to fall out of your pocket, as you're driving your cart down the cart path, the tiles will never be able to locate those keys.

However, your phone will pinpoint the last time it communicated with the tile and show that location on a map. Might give a place to start looking.

Cool technology, but the range [currently] can be an issue...

Not exactly true. There is a feature that allows you to use ALL tile apps in the community to locate your item.
