SmartThings Tracker Tracks Your Business

Tracking your data is now part of the SmartThings product suite. The SmartThings Tracker, which the company announced on Monday, is a white square that you attach to items such as backpacks or wallets. The tracker includes GPS with an LTE-M[1] network so that you can track items in real time via the SmartThings app for Android or iOS devices.

The SmartThings Tracker will be available in the US starting September 14 with a $ 99 MSRP. The SmartThings Tracker will be available at launch with the AT & T service included for the first 12 months. After the first year, the AT & T service will cost $ 5 a month or $ 50 a year. LTE service with Verizon will be available later this year. There are a handful of trackers, but unlike popular models of Tile and Trackr, the SmartThings Tracker does not use Bluetooth at all.

Families can use SmartThings Tracker to send location notifications to other members or enable live tracking for 10 minutes. You can also use the tracker as a SmartThings compatible proximity sensor to trigger automations with any Works with SmartThings device. The SmartThings tracker allows geo-fenced areas and can issue alerts when a tracked object leaves a predetermined area.

The SmartThings Tracker is designed for indoor or outdoor use. It is designed to withstand IP68 water, which means that it can be submerged in 4.9 feet of water for 30 minutes. The rechargeable battery is designed to last a week on a single charge. For more information, visit the Samsung website.
