The brilliant invention that works like an Apple AirTag on the Google network and for much less money

A few days ago Google presented its new device location network, a renewed version of what currently allows us to locate our mobile phones or tablets connected to a Google account. This network works like that of Apple, which integrates not only its phones or tablets, but also other devices thanks to AirTags, tags with geolocation that can be attached to any other product.

These labels are not new. A few months ago we were able to analyze Samsung’s latest version, the Galaxy Tag 2, with advanced functions like home automation control. However, alternatives to Airtags until now used their own networks, which meant other users had to use the same brand of products.

This is what Google solved with the renewal of the Find My network, which allows you to integrate products from different brands under the same platform, which will greatly improve device detection. This network will be expanded with new devices from different brands, and eufy was the latest to announce the compatibility of its products with this network.

Card and button

Eufy wanted to offer two options to its potential customers. To do this, she created two location beacons for different uses. One is more similar to those of other manufacturers, with compact size and small perforation so it can be used as a key ring, for example, or to be able to put it on the zipper of a suitcase. It has a replaceable button battery which gives it a battery life of one year. It has a QR code that allows a person who finds your lost items to scan it and know your information, in order to return the devices or objects on which this label has been affixed.

The second product is shaped like a credit card, 2.4 mm thick, which allows it to be carried in your wallet, even if you use one of those that only accept cards and notes and have been designed to occupy the least space possible. It is water resistant and its battery lasts up to 3 years. Of course, it is not replaceable, so you will have to buy another one after this period.

Both devices have an alarm that sounds when we activate it and it is possible to hear it even if it is under another element, between the cushions in the living room and loud enough to notice us even if we are in another room . They can be purchased independently or in packs of two units.

Pricing and availability

Both location tags are now available on the company’s website and they can be reserved, but marketing will begin in May. Furthermore, The update that will make them compatible with the Google network will take place in Juneprobably because Google will activate the network once Google I/O is over, which begins on May 14.

The price of the smaller tag, similar to Apple’s AirTag, is $19.99, although it can be purchased promotionally for $15.99. The two-pack costs $35.99, but is marked down to $26.99. The card-shaped one, perfect for putting in your wallet, costs $29.99 and is on sale for $19.99. The two-pack of card-shaped tags costs $59.98, but is currently marked down to $39.98.

The funny thing is that in Europe the prices are somewhat different. The eufy Security SmartTrack Link costs 24.99 dollars and there are no offers or two-packs. The eufy Security SmartTrack card costs 29.99 dollars, and there are no offers or packs either.
