I found them in South City and Rangiora recently, in the automotive section. They are MAKO brand, shaped as a small white triangle, about 30mm to a side and 6mm thick.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">They have a coin cell battery inside, which is replaceable, a switch, a buzzer, and a blue LED. The case is flexible, but not waterproof. Squeeze the case to actuate the button. Long press turns them on and off. Short press can be configured to do something on the receiving end.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">There are several designs in the marketplace, but they all have the same general function of keeping track of your keys, or your bag, and can also work as a camera shutter button or trigger some action on your phone. Google 'itag' for the basic idea.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I don't have the app installed, but they are detected by my phone, and by a Raspberry Pi 3. They are Bluetooth LE, so whatever you are using must be capable of Bluetooth LE or it won't detect the tags.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Best wishes,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Andrew</div></div>
