Find your TRACKERS with ALEXA or GOOGLE HOME

Technology is advancing super fast and I'm loving it.  At the same time, it can be scary. Will we go down the road to our Judgement Day like in the Terminator movies?  When technology becomes self-aware and out of control. Or will we go down the road where technology is like the Jetson's, where you can say anything out loud and technology will do whatever we say.  Well that day is coming believe it not. With the help of Alexa, Google Home, and Siri, it will be here before you know it.

In just the few years that these Voice Controlled Devices has been out, it has come from this small little music player to a major technology device that works with a lot of different apps and services.

Well, Bluetooth trackers are joining onto the band wagon of this technology and partnering up with these voice controlled devices.

The first one that I saw that worked with Alexa is the TrackR. With some simple setup steps you could asked Alexa where your phone was and it would make your phone ring. But that's where TrackR stopped. You could NOT ask Alexa to find your TrackR, it could only find your phone.



I waited and waited and finally a Bluetooth tracker company came out with the ability to ring your tracker from Alexa. PebbleBee Finder was the first one that I've seen that could do this. But it could only find one Finder tracker per account. Soon they will be adding the ability to find multiple Finders by having custom names attached to each Finder. One could be called your keys, one your purse, and one your backpack. But they haven't made that feature work like that yet.

Then just yesterday. Tile released their Tile Pro Series trackers. The Tile Sport and Tile Style and guess what. No only can you find your tracker with Alexa, but you can also find it with Google Home. On top of that, you can have multiple trackers setup with different names and each one could be found with Alexa or Google Home.  In my testing though, you didn't need one of the Pro Series Tile's to make this feature work. It can work with your Tile Slim or your Tile Mate, which is AWESOME !!
