Tile is now supported by Find My with Alexa. After you have enabled your Tile skill and set up your Tile devices in the Alexa app, you can simply say things like “Alexa, find my keys” or “Alexa, ring my backpack” to locate your items.
Your Alexa device can provide location updates, but to ring your Tile it requires your phone’s connection to the Tile.
