Where did the smartphone again? How to find your keys in your bag? And in a big bag? Purse was at work or someone pulled it out in the subway? From these issues head hurts almost everyone, and someone every day leads an unequal battle with distractions. Win once and for all trackers help tags Nut.

In order to solve the problem forever loses the things invented Nut - beacons, which with the help of Bluetooth and applications communicate with a smartphone to signal where the desired object is located.

The gadget is a modest plastic stick, is available in several variants (we tested Nut 2 and Nut mini) and colors. In each box, in addition to the alarm beacon, is the lace for fastening, an extra battery and a plastic key to open the enclosure and replace the battery.

Using the application

The application allows direct contact with six such devices. That is, you can mark the six subjects, plus the network beacons will be a smartphone.

Each keychain is assigned responsibility for one device or object. Select the missing item and listen to where the bell rings.

Configure alerts in two ways:

1. Search mode. The devices give a signal on your team when you can not find them.
2. Snap mode. If you move away from the beacon will be notified that a great distance. This mode is actually customize the labels on the purse: it reduces the likelihood of theft or that you will forget a thing in transport.

Compound operates at distances of up to 50 m (according to the manufacturer). In practice, the beacons are located, even if hidden behind two doors, corridors and rooms. That is "long range" of devices is enough to really find something.

In addition, the app gives clues as to the children's game of "hot - cold". If you go beyond the communication range, the smart phone will remember the position of the mark and show on a map where you left the subject for the last time. It's great if you can not decide where to have forgotten the bag: with friends or at work.
