Google Assistant now works with Tile app to help you find your things that you've missed or forgotten where you left them, Tile app integrates with Tile devices(Bluetooth Trackers) that are attached to your Keys, Wallet, Bag and others and locate them and track them and notify you through your Tile app, but now you can take the help of your google assistant to find your lost things.
You can take the help of your Nest device to ask Google Assistant to find your belongings, Assistant will than interacts with Tile app to know the information about your lost stuff and will give you the information about when your lost stuff is last seen, you can even ring your tile to know if it's nearby you or not. You can query about your stuff by asking 'hey Google, Locate my Keys' or can ask to your ring Tile by saying 'Hey google, Ring my Tile.'
You should sync your Tile account with your Google Home app, here's how,
-Open Google Home App
-Tap Add
-Tap Set up device
-Under Works with Google, select Have something already set up?
-Search for Tile and select it
-Enter your Tile login email and password
-Once you fill out Tile login information, you will be linked successfully.
Your Google Nest device will be able to locate your Tile through Bluetooth, Nest devices will only be able to locate your tile when It's home otherwise Nest will give you the last seen street address of your Tile. Tile may not work as efficiently as it works in iPhone when it comes to android but future updates will solve this problem.
You don't have to have a separate Nest device to locate your Tile using Google Assistant, you can use any smart speaker which was integrated with Assistant, but you need to have your phone with a Tile app nearby, voice match feature needs to be turned on in Assistant's settings, so that it can confirm that it is who's asking for your things.
Voice match will also help to differentiate between family members, for example if you ask assistant to locate your keys, it will locate your keys but not your brother's or mother's keys when they are also using Tile, You can ring your phone when you double tap on the Tile, "The Tile action for Google Nest devices is available in English in the U.S., United Kingdom, Australia and Canada"
