Find My - Bluetooth Trackers = AirTags?

Hey, I've been trying to find information but haven't had any luck so far. I own two third party bluetooth trackers (not AirTags), which I've linked to Find My.

Recently, I misplaced an item that had one of these trackers attached. Surprisingly, even though I was quite far away, I was still receiving updates on its location a couple hours after I lost it.

I'm curious to know, does connecting a third party bluetooth tracker to Find My function in the same way as AirTags? Are there any specific documents or resources where I can learn more about this? I'm really interested in understanding how it works.

These are the Developer Forums, where developers of apps for Apple's platforms ask each other for hints and tips on coding. Your question is more of a product support one, so I'd suggest you ask it over at the Apple Support Forums.

But in the meantime, if an object is certified for use on the Find My network, then yes, it acts like any other Find My device.
