This is great! Tried to get the IFTTT integration to work but this is way easier. Do you guys support multiple phones? Would love to be able to have both my phone and the wife's phone registered to the same Echo.

@zolihonig give us about 3 weeks and we'll have that done. Went MVP on this release to get feedback.

Another way to easily implement "find my phone" functionality with Alexa is via IFTTT. Just set up an IFTTT phone skill to call your phone number, and name it "find my phone". Then pair your Alexa with your IFTTT account and say "trigger find my phone". A few moments later, your phone will start ringing. I've had this skill set up on my own Alexa for about 6 months now, and it works great.

@tomchapin As an engineer I love IFTTT. We aimed to create a product that the non-techy folks could use.

I've had a bad experience with TrackR devices. I've recieved several DOA.

@andmpel Hi Adam, we've had reports of people getting bad devices sold 2nd hand from Amazon and other retailers. Our support team is always happy to get the products replaced or send a free battery replacement. You can email me chris@thetrackr.com or support@thetrackr.com anytime for help.

@cgherb @thetrackr I bought my TrackR Bravo's directly from TrackR. I've already been refunded. I've taken my business elsewhere. It's a shame because there's a few things about your product the competition doesn't have. Replacement of batteries, being able to be notified when the devices separate, and being damn small. But I need a product I can rely on.

@andmpel @thetrackr When did you purchase? We do new hardware updates monthly and new software updates every 3 weeks.

@cgherb @thetrackr I pre-ordered the Bravo's. So a while ago. I sent back several devices for replacement until it became too inconvenient and just opted for a refund. I'd be willing to try again, but not willing to pay for it. If there have been improvements I'd be glad to give a second chance. Especially with all the initiatives you've recently been starting like that laser tracking system for homes.
