Is there a way to do presence sensing based on my keys? I was thinking long range RFID but that's mad expensive so idk.

Hello. I think that can also be done using BLE. I tried that in the past

What did you put on your keys as an emitter?

I'd like to avoid tile products and I don't have an iPhone so I can't use airtags

Back then it was just some cheap BLE devices. I dropped it but nowadays it could work better with newer integrations
