I do the same but I usually say it to my wife or kids, so if it didn't work then they can remind me ๐๐คฃ
And if they are not around I just say "Hey Google remind me in X minutes/hours about blabla", it's actually a very good habit, and I have about 6 Tiles (like airtags) on all my important stuff that I can ring if I forget where I put it. They can also be used to locate my phone, I just need to find 1 device and press it to ring my phone and then find all the rest ๐
Edit: oh and another pro tip, cameras at the house can also be used to check if you locked the door! ๐
I wouldn't be able to leave the flat most mornings if I didn't have Chipolo tags on my keys and a card one in my wallet.
How are those tiles? I'm always suspicious of them because the way airtags work involves some seriously sketch use of Apple's location network -- it's basically a very specialized form of the creepy sonar phone hacking from The Dark Knight movie, in that all the Apple devices are recruited to spy on these things and phone home about them without their owner's say-so.
Without top-level support from the major mobile operating system vendor, does it keep up? I mean, does it work well without Google being involved?
I open the app and see where I last was in contact with a device, and it will show me a map where or just say "ring" if it's close by, there is supposedly a AirTag like functionality where you can report one of your devices as lost. And then it will alert me if another tile user is in range of my device, but I have never used that function.
I have also played around with apps like Tasker to make a notification show up whenever I get out of range of a AirTag, (not the same as the thing u can get by paying, thats just circle an area on a map and it will alert you if it's outside that circle, I wanted to know if I myself left the circle without my device, not the other way around) that works too, but I had to add a task in Tasker to first kill the Tile app since while it was running my tiles are not advertising their Bluetooth id and thus i could not find them with Tasker.
