Hello selfhosted community,

I need a privacy respecting alternative for an Apple AirTag. I recently bought my first expensive bike and i would like to know where it is, as it will be used by multiple people.

I know gps service costs something and I am willing to pay for it but I do not want any location data ending up somewhere it shouldn’t.

Thank you.

    The default channel is usually populated enough and I think nodes relay other channels using lora too.

    My range to the next node is 7 miles.

    AirTags work but chirp and thieves know to dump them.

      My range to the next node is 7 miles.

      Lucky you. I’ve got max about 900m (about half mile) by putting a node up on the mountain near me, and that was intermittent and message transmissions were delayed between 5 and 10 min.

      Like I said, great if it works. Not a whole lot of good use cases, and op’s is not a good use case.
