1. A method comprising:
- causing, at least in part, pairing of a device and a local sensor;
determining when the local sensor is beyond a predetermined distance from the device; and
causing, at least in part, a change in a profile status of the local sensor based on the determination,wherein the profile status specifies, at least in part, a visibility of the local sensor to one or more other devices.

Abstract
An approach is provided for a remote lost-and-found service. A local sensor manager causes, at least in part, pairing of a device and a local sensor. The local sensor manager then determines when the local sensor is beyond a predetermined distance from the device, and causes, at least in part, a change in a profile status of the local sensor based on the determination. The profile status specifies, at least in part, a visibility of the local sensor to one or more other devices.
