STICKNFIND Bluetooth Sticker Idea spin
A couple of days ago a company called STICKNFIND came out with quarter size Bluetooth stickers that I think are a really cool idea! You place these stickers on objects that you don't want to lose such as your cell phone (LoL. J/K) tv remote, dog, kid's favorite toy or other pacifier, luggage, etc. Unfortunately, our current distance limitations on Bluetooth technology are 30 meters for class 2 BT and 100 meters for class 1 BT. This means that if your object is lost outside of this range then you won't be able to locate it using these stickers. Technically you could boost the signal on a class 1 device allowing you to possibly locate a device up to 200 meters.
Personally, I lose things outside of this range regularly. I would like to see a product that includes a web app and integrates RFID and GPS technology into this BT unit. This way, once I am at home and realize that I don't have my garage remote to park my car, I can geolocate the RFID tag online using the GPS web app. The web app would also be useful in case I lose my phone and would like to locate it from a computer.
BTW I would be happy to demo these and write a review or create a YouTube video review if anyone wants to send a set my way.
