I got a free Tile a couple of years ago and put it on my keys. It’s still got juice left, but the app keeps prompting me that it’s time to replace it (irreplaceable battery). Is there a reasonable approach to making such devices run on ambient energy?

I like the basic concept of the Tile (smart tag everything that could get lost) but the non-rechargeable battery bottleneck and replacement schedule kill it for me. There’s gotta be a better way to do this.

As long as it moves regularly it could use a self charging mechanism
