Tile ID is not always the mac address

Question

Tile ID is not always the mac address

On my tile devices the ID is slightly different from the mac address. On the first character changes:

MAC: D1:76...
ID : 5176...

MAC: F9:B4...
ID: b9b4...

I suspect Tile did this on purpose

Interesting to know, I'll see if I can find a better source to get the mac address e.g. from the rest API

I coded a tiny Flutter app to ring my Tile devices without using their app, I ended up hardcoding the mac adresses, and the authKey, completely removing the dependency on Tile's server (once you've retrieved the auth keys of course). If you're interested I can publish that.

And BTW, thank you so much for this!
