The `tile` platform allows Home Assistant to utilize [Tile® Bluetooth trackers](https://www.thetileapp.com).
The official Tile mobile app handles the actual tracking of Tile devices using
the mobile device's Bluetooth and GPS.
To integrate Tile into Home Assistant, add the following section to your
`configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
device_tracker:
- platform: tile
username: email@address.com
password: MY_PASSWORD_123
```
{% configuration %}
username:
description: the email address for the Tile account
required: true
type: string
password:
description: the password for the Tile account
required: true
type: string
monitored_variables:
description: the Tile types to monitor; valid values are `TILE` and `PHONE` (default is for all types to be included)
required: false
type: list
show_inactive:
description: whether to show expired/disabled Tiles
required: false
type: boolean
default: false
{% endconfiguration %}
Multiple Tile accounts can be used by repeating the `tile` platform. Tracked devices in `known_devices.yaml` will be named `tile_<tile_identifier>`. You can find `<tile_identifier>` in the Tile app by clicking on a tile.
