I'm not OP. I've got an iPhone and two iPads and a Mac in the house. I'm asking for OP, who has no i-devices and wants to know if an airtag would be useful anyway.

> Can I buy an AirTag, initialize it with the help of a friend who has an iPhone, and then locate the AirTag or ring it from my PC with this Python lib?

Ringing it might be an unusual case for you, but it's exactly what OP was asking about.

(It's also by far the most common use case for this category of device for me. I misplace things all the time and it's super convenient to not have to wander all over the house looking for it.)
