The latter is an impressive addition as when pressed it can be configured in the SmartThings to take control of your smart lighting. It also has a hook for attaching to keys, and a button. This produces more precise locational data and combines with an augmented reality feature in the Samsung SmartThings app that uses your phone’s camera to hunt down the missing smart tag.

Like the Apple AirTag (and unlike the cheaper Galaxy smart tag), the smart tag plus features Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology. As with most of its rivals, the Samsung Galaxy smart tag plus can play a loud jingle to help you find it locally or, if further afield, the app will show on a map where it was last connected to your phone via Bluetooth. Then, if you lose them, you can use a smartphone app to track them down.

Key finders and Bluetooth trackers – like this Samsung, as well as the Apple AirTag and those from Chipolo and Tile – connect to your smartphone and hook onto keys, bags and other possessions. We hunted the tracker down in our own home and left it in the car to test its ability to be found by other Galaxy users (iStock/The Independent)
