Hello,

I would like to use a Tile (beacon) with Homey so Homey can know when I am in its range.

I tried the application called « Beacon » in Homey but the Tile is not detected.  
Is there a procedure to follow? I see there is a button on the Tile.

Thank you in advance.

Chris

I must do something wrong…

On the Homey:

- I go to devices
- I press the + button
- I select « Beacon »
- it installs « Beacon »
- it displays « searching for devices »
- I tried to press on the button of the tile (I saw on the internet that it is the procedure to make it discoverable)
- timeout 30000ms

😔

Hi Roy,

I did not register the Tile with the original Tile app. Do I have to?  
It is the tile mate 2020.

Best regards,

Chris

Tile 2020’s have been reported not to work with Homey, read about it in the thread of the app
