Invoke "find my mobile" for Android phones

Setup, Configuration and Use Scripts & Rules

I’m looking for a solution to find my mobile as I’m keen to lose it in the house somewhere.

problem is: I have my phone on mute and even off vibrating, because I use my watch for signalling incoming calls or notifications.

I tried using “Alexa find my phone”, but this won’t work as it doesn’t break the mute. also the “openHAB notification” in the app won’t break the mute function. Is there a way to invoke a loud mobile sound with “find my mobile” for google?

Try OpenHAB message with tag high. If by me as Standard aktive

You should be able to find your phone through your watch. “Find my phone” is one of the “apps” on my watch at least. That breaks through the mute and gradually raises the volume until it rings full blast..

If you have GA or Gemini enabled on your watch asking it to “find my phone” should also trigger it to ring the same way.

If you have google/nest speakers those can find phones too. That’s the primary way I do it. Asking it to “find my phone” will cause it to ring, again breaking through the mute.

I’ve had this repo open in a tab for awhile. I can say nothing about it but it might be relevant.

duckduckgo.com’s AI indicates there might be an API that Google exposes one could interact with find my device. That GitHub repo kind of looks like it might use those APIs.

this won’t work with me:

actions.notificationBuilder('where are you now?')
    .withIcon('siren')
    .withTag('high')
    .send();

sorry, perhaps I had to add it’s a Garmin! :wink:

yes, I found those, too. From what I can see, those won’t “find my phone”, but implement a 3rd party access to Google “AirTags” aka Moto Tag or Samsungs Tags… but they won’t allow for a smartphone to produce “find me” loud sound… :frowning:
