Additional review notes:
Much like a Tile, this is a BLE 5.0 dongle
When the device is around, it can ring your phone or your phone can ring it
You can map the button to do other things
When it is not in range, you can see where it was last in seen or locate it with the Galaxy Find network
No water resistance rating
Button is actually just flexing plastic – no actuation or gaps, so waterproofing would be easy
Does it work with non Samsung phones? No. Only Samsung phones and tablets
S21 vs S21+ usage (UWB) – no difference for this one
Within the year, a Tag+ should be arriving and it will use UWB
Automations:
Press the button to:
Control nearby devices (turn on a light)
Notify someone
Change location mode
Run scenes
Press and hold allows you to map to the same functions
Change the volume and ringtone
It would be great if you could set up a notification for when it is out of range
Battery level is indicated on phone
Battery is easily replaced with a standard CR2032 battery
WHAT GEAR DO I USE?

(Polar H10 is known to be one of the most accurate in the industry and therefore acts as a great standard to which I compare smartwatch heart rate sensors)

Having an out of range notification is a must have to never forget your mask again
6:53 Use it in a situation of danger. Just press it and send a message
asking for help
You could probably add a Bixby routine that warns you when the tag is moving away from another device?
“eco system” is tech is just a nice way to say cagem, yeah everything is conveniently close and at hand because you are in a cage duh..
“Only works with Samsung phones.” That’s when I completely stopped caring about this thing. Same reason I didn’t buy a Galaxy Watch 3. Almost bought it, until I found out ECG, Blood Pressure and I think Fall Detection only work with a Galaxy phone. Stop trying to be Apple, Samsung!
Long story short – Its a smartthings button but with a hole for a keychain
I have pressed to turn my Nest on Heat at 20degC
Actually I can think of many reasons why one would want to be able to send a quick message to someone with the push of a button. If an elderly person lives alone and suddenly doesn’t feel so good, pushing a button seems more convenient then picking up a phone. If you’re walking home alone at night and feel unsafe, a quick message could notify a friend to be on standby. Or you just want to get out of an uncomfortable situation by having someone call you. These are just worst case scenarios, I’m sure there are more reasons for everyday convenience.
Push 3 times and a pizza and a hooker turns up.
Can they put this tech in the living room remote control! The couch monster has some elaborate mazes to find sometimes!
The Samsung only part even though I own a Samsung phone makes this a no go for me. I absolutely refuse to lock myself into any particular ecosystem. It’s a reason I left Apple, and won’t go back
The “notify someone” option might be good to notify the person who stole the thing with the smart tag attached to it?
i think you forgot one big thing the tag doesn’t need your phone to be in range to ping it’s location to your phone, it can piggyback onto any galaxy in range (if i read the description right)
Can dogs wear them??
I think this being tied to samsung is less criminal than apple not letting air pods be fully used on Android unless you do alot of extra steps. And the apple watch just doesnt work with anything android.
Blah blah blah. Get to the point,
Where are you from?
6:19 for something urgent e.g. getting kidnapped
Well.. the apartment where I live is like 480 square feet and I don’t even have a couch, bookshelves, etc. So people in the same condition as me wouldn’t really need this lmao
