Green House's new smart tag weighs 7 g and costs more than its June tag without adding a single feature
Green House began selling the GH-SMTF series in Japan in early August. It is an Android-only tracking tag built around Google's Find Hub network. Black and white finishes are available at an expected street price of 1,480 yen, roughly $9 at current rates.
The tag talks to a phone over Bluetooth 5.4 LE at ranges up to about 10 meters. Past that it uses Find Hub: passing Android handsets pick up its beacon and relay an encrypted position to Google's servers. From the app, owners can ring the 65 dB buzzer, pull up a location on a map, or set an alert that fires when the tag and phone separate. Voice queries through Google Assistant also work. Power comes from a user-replaceable CR2032 cell rated for about a year, and the ABS housing is IPX4. It measures 29 mm across and 8.6 mm thick, weighs about 7 grams with the cell fitted, and ships with a carabiner keyring. Neither NFC nor UWB is on board, so there is no precision finding and no tap-to-reveal contact screen. iPhone and iPad are not supported.
Green House built its name in this category with DIGL — an April 2023 tracker that worked with Apple's Find My app and was equipped with an IP66 rating and a louder 75 dB buzzer. The Find Hub generation (whose manual is filed under the name DiGL lite) trades both of those down. It also follows the GH-SMTE, which arrived in June at 1,100 yen with the same radio, buzzer and battery inside a slightly larger 33 mm shell.
The newer tag is smaller but costs 380 yen more, and Green House has not said what the premium buys — the specifications are otherwise identical. Sales are Japan-only for now, with no announced plans for other regions.
