I don't have an iPhone or Mac. 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?

It would be awesome.

I bought some $8 third-party AirTags from AliExpress, flashed them with some firmware, and used Macless Haystack to track them without owning any Apple devices.

Google have also launched their own network, Find, which is turned off by default and useless for now.
