I’ve just bought 4 tile units and its not picking up the devices.
Any help will be appreciated!
This is the error:

Tile’s are BLE (low energy) devices. Unless something has changed, running the BLE tracker on a Pi is problematic - especially if you are using a wifi connection.
You should provide more information if you want people to help. Show us your entry on configuration.yaml, describe your HA setup (is it hass.io, are you running on a Raspberry Pi, VM, docker, etc), OS.
I don’t think HA’s Tile component is using bluetooth LE–it is connecting to Tile servers to pull location data, so dap35’s comment isn’t true. I used the Tile component before and it was fine, just slow to update.
I’m running HASSIO on a raspberry Pi on the lastest version. My config looks like this:
- platform: tile
username: xxxxx
password: xxxxx
show_inactive: true
THere were some major changes to asuswrt platform recently, you should read the official doc. One example is that asuswrt is its own platform now, and you don’t need to list it under device_tracker. There’s a thread about it somewhere on the forum.
Hi all, not directly related and maybe a silly question probably but before I go and buy some tiles, does this actually connect to the tile tags via ble or log into an api to the app? I’m trying to find a way to monitor when something is in close range only so want to filter on the RSSI levels. I tried the ble tracker add on but this does not give the function and it triggers from too far away, when it hasn’t crashed of course! I was looking at happy bubbles but don’t seem to be able to buy them anymore.
Are you still using Tile Tracker?
Are you happy with the integration?
How about the update timings?
I use Owntracks at this moment, but I have found it too unstable to do presence detection (entering zone), so I am am looking at Tile now.
Can you please share your experience.
Thanks!
Unfortunately Life360 pretty much give the same response as owntracks.
The idea was to, when I enter my street detect that and already make some pre-actions before arriving home (e.g. turn nas on, etc…)
But sometimes it only detect that I have entered the zone when I am even already in the house…
I think any form of tracking will be this way. Any other way (e.g. updates sent a lot closer to real time) will end up draining your battery.
What you could do is increase your home radius so you catch arrival earlier?
