Curious on suggestions for airtags, or similar, for tracking important things on flights or other cases where losing the specific item would be too much of a financial / sentimental loss. Anyone doing this from Linux, or from graphene? How is it?

    Well not just the network, it also doesn’t run on Linux, but I think that’s mostly just a matter of software…sort-of. Apple doesn’t have any sort of open API that I know of to be able to participate OR make requests for device tags. You still need an active Apple device that’s subscribed to the stupid iCloud or whatever they call it now, which is how you find devices in these networks.

    So ething similar to this by for Android would probably be closer to what you’re angling for. There’s also plenty of BT devices that do proximity trackingnif you’re just looking for something around the house. This plus Home Assistant I believe can track tags in a local sense.
