Know whether the keys stayed in the car, at work or at home before you start searching.
Things
Bluetooth tags: to remember where you left it
Attach a tag to your keys, backpack or bag. LeMoove keeps the last place your phone saw it and makes the tag beep when you're nearby.
How it works
-
Pair it up close
Hold the tag near your phone and pick it from the list in the app. Pairing requires having the tag in hand: nobody can add someone else's tag from afar.
-
Name it
Keys, Backpack, Bag. The tag becomes one of your devices, which you can share with your group.
-
The app remembers where it's been
With the app open, your phone looks for your tags every 2 minutes and saves where they were when it saw them.
What a tag does in LeMoove
-
Last seen
The place and time your phone last saw the tag.
-
Beep to find it
Near the tag, tap beep and follow the sound to the keys lost in the couch.
-
Tag battery
The battery level, when the tag reports it, so you can swap the battery in time.
-
Share
Share the tag with your family: the phone of anyone it's shared with also records where it saw it.
-
Common tags work
LeMoove uses standard Bluetooth features (alert and battery), so many generic tags on the market work.
-
Being studied: left-behind alert In development
An alert when you walk away from the tag. It depends on validating Bluetooth scanning with the app closed, especially on iPhone.
What a tag does, and what it doesn't
A tag answers “where did I leave this?” well. It doesn't answer “where is this right now?”.
- Last place your phone saw it
- Yes
- Beep when you're nearby
- Yes
- Battery level
- Yes, if the tag reports it
- Real-time position far from you
- No (tags have no GPS)
- Public finding network
- Not in LeMoove
- Recording with the app closed
- No, only with the app open
To follow something that moves far from you, like a car, use a GPS tracker.
An iPhone detail
iPhone doesn't give apps a tag's real identifier: each phone sees the same tag under a different code. That's why, on iPhone, a generic tag is only recognized by the phone that paired it. Sharing between iPhones only works with tags that report their own serial number. On Android, sharing works with any compatible tag.
In everyday life
The school backpack
See where the backpack was last seen when it doesn't come home.
The wallet in the couch
Make the tag beep and find it by sound.
Questions about tags
Does the tag show where the item is right now?
No. It shows where your phone (or the phone of whoever it's shared with) last saw it, with the app open. The tag has no GPS or internet.
Can I use a tag I already have?
Many generic Bluetooth tags work, because LeMoove uses standard Bluetooth features to beep and read the battery. Tags that only work on their maker's own network can't be added.
Does a tag work for a pet?
Not very well: it only shows up when it passes near your phone. For pets, a GPS tracker with a SIM is the right choice.
How many tags can I have?
Up to 5 devices on the Complete plan, tags and trackers combined.
