I'm expecting delivery of a 4 pack next week and watched your video to get a better understanding of the functionality. Will be my first time using such a device so I could use all the help I can get. I'm 67 and have a moderate level of tech savvy. I think my biggest struggle will be navigating the SmartThings app if I'm being honest. Nice video...thanks for posting it.

say, when you did this with multiple items, did you get notifications when back in range or anything ?? or was each piece used in Find ?? trying to see if it will notify me on its own at baggage claim, or if i have to open the app and do something with it first... just picked up a 4 pack playing with them in the house... (tried notify if left behind, walked till out of range, didn't get a notification... could be since we have 4 samsungs in the house it was bouncing off another device ?? was thinking 1 checked, and one in each carry on, but confused how this would work... any tips would be great, thank you..

My son lost the tag one day, and I searched for it using the app. It told me it was nearby, and I went around in circles looking for it. Then it turned out it was located in the classroom, which was 3 storeys above me. This was the earlier version of the smart tag. I hope this version can also detect the exact location, including height distance.

It's not going to magically tell you what floor the thing is on (you need to move around) once you get within 30 to 50 m of it will actually connect to to the smarttag and give you a power signal bar With the smarttag+ (with its poor battery life and crashing/rebooting firmware) supported UWB but unfortunately Samsung is Still limiting UWB to plus and ultra models (UWB allows precise finding once under 20-30m) smarttag 2 has UWB by default (hopefully they fixed the firmware so it doesn't randomly reboot, it plays the battery startup sound when it reboots probably why the smarttag+ had poor battery life) all my smarttag 1s (not plus) have worked flawlessly and the 7 day history function in thr smartofthings app is super handy if it just gets stolen or unaware until later in the day or night so you know what direction to head in to get your item Back and where it has Been ( the Apple airtag only ever shows you it's last location, like when my mum binned one of my airtags it's last location was picked up passing the gate house at an incinerator power plant😅) Airtag has had UWB from the start, but lacks power signal level meter for signal level location (all you can do is make it chime unless you have a iPhone 11 or higher phone that supports UWB for precise finding but unfortunately you got to be within 20 to 30m)😂

Great review! I was running the Smart Tag 2 alongside my older Smart Tag+ and noticed immediately that it is lacking accurate and frequent offline updates. Note that the tag is NOT! in power saving mode. Now I understand the long battery life which is simply achieved by the infrequent updates and long time gaps between them. I regret having bought the Tag 2 and cannot recommend it. I managed to buy another Smart Tag+ but they are hard to find and cost now almost double.

It is pretty simple to reset it, they would just need to look on the internet... Am I right?

I bought it, but I am quite disappointed. I have a Samsung S23, and the 'Search Nearby' feature doesn't show the direction; it only indicates how strong the signal is, which is also quite inaccurate. After some research, I found out that even Samsung's flagship S line doesn't include the UWB chip needed for that feature :( You need model S23+ or S23 Ultra.

@NeutronCollapse - Extracted the following from Samsung UK - "If your SmartTag is out of the 120-metre range of the BLE (Bluetooth low energy) connection, it will require the help of the Galaxy Find network to be located. The Galaxy Find network is made from other Galaxy device users that have agreed for their devices to be used as Find Nodes. Find Nodes receive the signal from lost SmartTags and send the location anonymously to the SmartThings server, allowing for you to find your SmartTag no matter how far away it is."

I thought about the sufficient indicator and I think that's to minimise people overthinking the battery and feeling they need to replace it prematurely because of battery anxiety... ie, Low of 6-15% means you still have nearly 2 months of use, and even at 5% you will still have 18 days - that's a lot of time to change the battery.

It absolutely makes sense. Short answer is yes, you can use it to track a car, long answer, it would need to pass by a Samsung user to be "found" or the their would need to be a Samsung user. The unknown tag alert is a toggle that needs to be turned on in smartthings. I'm not sure the distance it needs to be to a phone for it to recognise it.

@@techwithbenefits Not sure the question (or setting) was understood. A guy steals Jim's car. Jim has previosly put a connected Smart Tag in it somewhere because he wants to track the car if it is stolen. The thief knows about Galaxy Smart Tags and he has a Smart Things app. This app has a feature, if he turns it on, that can tell him if a Smart tag that is not his, is in the vicinity ('has been put in his backpack'). He turns the feature on. Lo' there IS a foreign Smart Tag nearby, and he looks for and finds the Smart Tag in the car, smashes it, and drives the car off. No more trackng for Jim (what his goal was) but Jim may know the last place the Smart Tag was pinged, and that may be remotely helpful.

I am interested to test this with a seperate connected Samsung Galaxy s20fe. I am trying to make sure that if he goes far into the wilderness I can find him if the phone picks up a signal. I bought the smarttag2 mostly for precise location. Thank you for the video. I also would be interested if there were a way to link his location to my DJI Mavic Mini. That would be pretty snazzy if I could hook my drone up and get it to autofly to his location while I'm traveling to him. Hopefully it never comes to him running off. Wish me luck.

You left out some KEY details in my opinion. 1. In order for the tag to ping off a nearby samsung device, does that device have to have bluetooth and/or location enabled for the ping to happen? 2. When searching for the tag "nearby" what features does the samsung device your are using need to be enabled?

1. It uses Bluetooth low energy and UWB, if the service is enabled (which I think it either is by default or there is a prompt) both of those will be on. BLE is always on I believe. 2. If you are searching nearby, all the relevant things will be turned on or you will be prompted to do so

@techwithbenefits thanks for the response! I use a Samsung S24+ phone. When you say BLE is always on, is this different than normal bluetooth? Im asking bc most people I know, leave Location and Bluetooth turned off (for battery efficiency) unless they are using them.

@MadFlavorz yeah it's different. BLE is a really low energy Bluetooth signal, used for searching for devices initially. if they are using the smartthings find service (which is what will "find" other people's devices, location would need to be on, and they would be prompted to have location on

@techwithbenefits hmmm ok. Not sure if you have a samsung device but when I go to Settings > Safety and Emergency > Unknown Tracker Alerts, it says my Bluetooth must be turned on (currently off) for this feature to be enabled. This makes me think BLE needs Bluetooth on. Ill investigate further. Thanks!

@MadFlavorz ah that feature is more if someone has placed a tracker in your bag or in your pocket unknowingly to try and track you. Different feature!

great video, thanks. question, can an automation be created, that notifies me that a Tag that i own, has entered a preset geo-location? in example, my 5 year old kid's Tag, thats in his backpack, and has entered my neighborhood because hes on the school bus coming home? i cant seem to find this type of automation.

I am still confused about how it really works and searches the tag. does my phone need to constantly be connected to the wifi and gps location? If for example, I don't use mobile data and location turned on all the time because of the economy, i wouldn't be able to locate my tag location ? Does it work without the wifi and location at all?
@TomTKK
@TomTKK 8 ай бұрын
The information of the tag is stored in a samsung server somewhere and it will push this information to your phone when you next load up the app. Of course, you'll need wifi or data for you to be able to see the information, but you can log into smart things find on a laptop and the process is the same. Locating the device, this is done via Bluetooth

Smart tags are cool to have if you are trying to discover something you lost but I'm more interested in preventing my Dads phones from getting lost in the first place. He always loses his phones! Isn't there a way to wear a smartwatch and use the Bluetooth connection between watch and phone to alert him with a strong vibration when he walks away too far from his phone and that Bluetooth connection breaks? This would prevent him from ever losing the phone in the first place. Why isn't this invented yet? Or is it? Please help!!!

My galaxy watch is always connected to my phone. When connection is lost (because I'm too far), it gives a 1sec vibration and a disconnecting sound on my watch. I think u need to activate it in settings. Maybe that'll work. Or yoy can try Bixby routines setting up a command. If his watch disconnects from his watch it'll ring. Try setting that up
