How do I discover the Bluetooth address of my One?

[Pitabird]

How do I discover the blue tooth address for my One so I can distinguish it from other Bluetooth devices in the immediate area? Also which app works best to find it via BT?

I know the darned thing is nearby because it keeps syncing however, in it's purple case, I am having difficulty locating it just by looking around.

I appreciate any help you can offer.

Thank you

I have found that any of the BT finders works well.

It will come close to where it is and then just look around that area to find it. I found mine in my shoe once. It came close to it and I looked around all the shoes there and Woot Found!

Hope you find it! Keep us posted!

Well I have tried four apps. One says it is in my living room around my
recliner, the next on says it is 80% semi positive it's in the bedroom but
remains on the 'far' portion of the radar. The third one doesn't even pick
it up on their scan and fourth wants me to buy it before it will tell me it
sees it.

I feel it has to be close to my BR as I was changing into my PJs around
11pm when I noticed it missing. (Manually entering a sleep time confirms
this).

There has got to be a better way to find it. I am very frustrated as I have
been searching for over three hours now.

You would think they would have a ping feature I over with the app
apparently not.

I may have to wait for the cat to find it, that may be awhile if she
decides she wants it as new toy....

Have you set an alarm on it. Its kind of hard to hear but you might hear it buzzing when it goes off

[Pitabird]

Yes I did but never could hear it. Sigh

[WendyB]

I dont know but from what you said I feel its close to the recliner. Look in the pockets and under neath. Maybe on the sides it could easily slip thru

I just know when I have lost mine I find it in strange places. Tucked under my radio by my bed, shoe, under my desk or behind it

I do hope you find it

[Pitabird]

Thanks. If anything this is starting my spring cleaning early!

Welcome to the Community @Pitabird! Thanks for your question regarding how you can easily find your One. Currently, the only option to find it would be to double check if it's syncing by seeing this information on the app. You can learn more about it by checking this article How do Fitbit devices sync their data?. 

Thanks for your advice @WendyB! I'm sure this will help others using Fitbit One. 

I'll be around if you need further assistance.

It is still syncing because it is now telling.me my battery is low however
I am still unable to locate it. At the moment I have company so can't tear
the house apart looking again either.

Hi @Pitabird! Thanks for coming back and for the details provided. I'm glad to hear that your tracker is still syncing that means it it's near the device you are using. I will recommend to follow the steps on the following article: What should I do if I lose my Fitbit device? there you will find some bluetooth finders. I hope you will be able to find the tracker this time! 

Let me know how it goes! 

[Pitabird]

Yeah if the BT trackers worked I would've found it by now. Battery died
last night on it so no telling when I will find it now. Too bad company
choose to d/c the One and not have a personal I descreet tracker anymore. I
will start a search for a new tracker that is.....until I eventually find
my One again....

Update on this thread... I finally found my One today and I was right. It was no where near where the BT searches sent me. I found it in a piece of clothiing way in the back of the master closed.  I had forgotten I was wearing the pants(I had actually checked three other pcs of clothing before) and it was in a pocket. 

It has been completely dead for awhile now, so now I wonder how long it will take to fully charge it back to  normal use.  The charge bard on the One isnt showing still after being plugged into the charger on teh computer for almost an hour now.  

Any ideas people?

Thanks so much of all the support last month!

Never mind folks, it just allowed me to restart it and it is working fine. 

Have a great weekend all.

@Pitabird the One takes less than an hour to fully charge from a dead state. At least that's been my experience. Dauntingly, the tracker won't show any indication that it's charging (like the newer models) except if you tap the button occasionally, you'll see the bar move towards filled. Glad you found your tracker, welcome back to stepping awesomeness! Have a great weekend 😄

Hello @Pitabird! Thanks for your reply, I apologize for the delay in my response. I'm glad to hear that you were finally able to find your Fitbit One and make it work. I appreciate that you took the time to keep me posted. Sorry about the difficulties but gladly everything is fine now. 

Nice to see you on the forums @Williger! Thanks for sharing your experience charging your Fitbit One from a dead state. I'm sure @Pitabird and other users will find this information handy. 

Please let me know if any of you needs anything else! 😊
