You are likely to be disappointed...
I was excited to try out Tile - but I was disappointed when I got one and discovered how it works in practice. The main limitation is that Tile can only communicate via bluetooth with a device that has the Tile app installed on it. Tile can not connect via wifi to the internet, so it doesn't have the ability to be directly online. So if you leave your Tile somewhere away from your phone, it can not communicate. You have to basically remember where you left it, then go to that place and get close enough to the Tile to connect via bluetooth. This is very different from "find my phone", where you can communicate with your phone over the internet. Limited practical use.
