I see several bluetooth devices but I can’'t tell which one is which. And I need to find a Tile drop to use it in a flow but now I don’t know which it is 😃

Lots of devices don’t advertise their name 🤷🏼‍♂️

You can use tools like [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubnt.usurvey](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubnt.usurvey) and then identify the BLE based on Discovery - the lowest dBm, the closest distance.

Has that ever worked for you? Certainly not for me 😃

Yep 😉 Eg. at least when I move to particular devices very close, it’s clearly visible. At least on my Samsung phone.

Take your Tile and your phone on a walk outside. Check the connection of your devices with Homey on your phone. The Bluetooth device that disconnects from Homey is the one you carry.

Kind regards,
