That vinyl record tag idea is brilliant.

Can you please show how to CREATE the actual automations on Android? Just saying that "it can be done" doesn't help. Thanks.

Great video! I love the air filter reminder. Do you have a step-by-step video on how you set this up?

I use an NFC tag by the sink to track water consumption. I don't like water and usually forget to drink it so I scan the tag anytime I deliberately drink a glass of water and it increases a counter in Home Assistant. If I've had less than 5 glasses by a certain time of night my echo dots yell at me and call me lazy.

I also was using a vibration sensor attached to my medication container to track whether its been taken each day, which was one of my favorite automations... but the sensor quit working. Now I scan an NFC tag on the bottle. I'm bad about just snoozing or ignoring regular reminders because I don't want to pause whatever game I'm playing and walk all the way to the other room. I tell myself "ahh I'll take it the next time I'm in there" and then never do. So I set up an automation that runs if motion is detected at night in the kitchen AND the meds tag has not been scanned that day, it reminds me out loud on the kitchen speaker to take them. Since I'm already right there its much more effective.

Just started playing with NFC tags with Home Assistant. This was a nice collection of inspiration for me.

I dig those blue and pink wall Projected lights with the richer borders. Any chance you have an affiliate link for those?

[alextodotango]

are there advantages from NFC towards... say, QR codes? Besides visibility?

I am using Tasker and I can't seem to figure out how to link into my existing light systems such as Philips Hue. Any suggestions?

my iPhone 12 Pro plus does not read nfc tags, unless I get an nfc reader app. why don't apple change this.

[obijuan-]

Ideas were nice. But I saw not one example of how to do any of those ideas. No even a simple one. ???
