A method for managing single function devices among communication devices broadcasting messages to gateways connected to a gateway manager, a single function device being only able to broadcast a message including a command. The method comprises: the gateways receiving messages sent from communication devices, each message containing an identifier of communication device, the gateways determining quality metrics for each received message, the quality metrics pertaining to the radio link between the gateway and the communication device, the gateways storing, for each received message, a property vector comprising the identifier of the communication device and the quality metrics, the gateway manager collecting the property vectors from all the gateways, the gateway manager identifying a single function device by detecting a property vector comprising an identifier of communication device that is included in a list of single function devices, the gateway manager determining a location of the identified single function device based on the quality metrics of the detected property vector, the gateway manager coupling the identified single function device with a feedback device, based on the determined location of the single function device and on a location of the feedback device, and the gateway manager sending an order to the coupled feedback device to perform a feedback signal.
