There are several smart tag competition networks – which are not extraordinary because there are strengths in this number for this network (the more users, the better monitoring). Google launched my network last year and had to be “One True Find Network for Android”, but still not functioning properly. Samsung’s discovery of Smartthings was fun, but only available to the owner of the Galaxy mobile phone.

No longer, the developer Kieron Quinn has created the Utag (“Universal Tag” “application, which allows every Android phone (OS version 11 and newer) using Samsung Sagregs. This application also has several features that lose the official Samsung application.

You can download the utag from the github project page, where you will find the APK that has been built. This application is really open source, because the developer wants its users, they feel comfortable that no one is shady. You can also join the project dispute if you have questions.

Here is the only difficult part: Utag will download and install the modified version of the Smartthings application. You have to access the application once again and once again to provide access to Utag to Samsung bees. The official application refuses to work on non -samsung devices, the modified version deletes this control (and also has a code that speaks with the utag application).

Utag Action, Monitor Tags Using UWB

When finished, you can do everything, starting from the new Sagreg settings. You can use UWB for the right tracking (direction and distance). You can also share tags with your family. And you can contribute to the Smartthings network, so that the tags identified by the cellphone can be monitored by the owner. Apparently, the only thing that is not successful is the walking fashion for pets.

So there are some features that you won’t find in the Smartthings application. Utag can automatically scan unknown tags near you – this is to prevent someone from using tags to follow you. In addition, you can add a widget to your home screen that shows a particular tag position or location chronology.

Utag can contribute to the Smartthings Network, it also has several additional features

You can follow the original link to the information post by the utag developer, which includes all the features and why things are functioning as they are doing. And if you ask questions if you can add airtag support, the answer is no: Airtag is not supported on Android at all. There is a way to get around this, but they are far more complicated than the modified version of the official application (which doesn’t even exist).
