Question

can I find a tracking device, not an iphone, from my mac mini running sonoma 14.1.1? if so, how?

I have an Iphone SE 2022 that I use as a web device, it does not have an active phone account. I can track a device, (not an iphone, a device) from my iphone, it was easy to set up, it works fine.

I also have a mac mini (Sonoma 14.1.1), I can locate my iphone from the desktop mac mini, but my mac mini does not seem to see the device that I can find with the iphone. Is there a way to use the mac mini to locate the device that the iphone sees?

Mac mini, macOS 14.4

If you are trying to find items to which you have attached AirTags, run the Mac's FindMy application, and click on the Items tab in the sidebar of the FindMy window. You can also use the Web interface https://www.icloud.com/find . (I think you need to use an iPhone or iPad to set up an AirTag as yours, but once that's done, you can track it on a Mac associated with the same Apple ID.)

AirTag - Apple

If you are using some third-party tracking system, check with the vendor to see what – if anything – they offer In the way of Web-based tracking, or tracking applications designed for Macs.
