Finding a lost phone is easy. Give it a missed call from another phone and it literally calls out for you. What if the phone is on silent or you have lost your car keys. At times in the middle of a program, you want to change the channel and the remote plays hide and seek with you.
A Bluetooth low energy device by the name StickNFind is the solution you are looking for. You can place it on any item that you fear may be misplaced. It is about the size of a coin, 24mm diameter and 4mm thick. It is also fitted with a blinking light which is battery operated. The battery life is about a year with 30 minutes of daily use.
An application has been made for StickNFind which lets one find their items.

It also has the Virtual Leash and Reverse Virtual Leash features which sound the alarm whenever you are moving away from the particular item. You can also set different alarms associated to different items. An ON/OFF option for every StickNFind is available to pinpoint your favorite lost item.
