That's cool! How do you deal with tracking while it doesn't have GPS signal?

WiFi I suppose, using a mapping from BSSID -> lat/long, like Mozilla Location Services or Combain.

What's the power consumption like from attempting to get a GPS lock? Luggage presumably spends most of it's life indoors. I imagine a WiFi scan uses less power than attempting to acquire a GPS signal.

I'm a hobbyist when it comes to hardware/IOT, I've been working on something similar but for RV's instead of luggage. Much harder constraints when it comes to luggage! RVs have power and room to spare.

Oh, you could put a small generator on the luggage wheels, to charge it a bit while wheeling the luggage around!

Sounds like a fun project.
