NFC tag automations (lemm.ee)

Hi there, i recently got 50 NFC tags and these things are amazing for making shortcuts and the like, so i need any ideas and uses you guys already have for these!

I currently use one for my Bluetooth headphones to connect, one on my work phone for call forwarding, one for my battery charger to set an alarm and one on my washing machine to set a timer for when it's done.

Any ideas are appreciated!

The only NFC tag I currently have implemented in my house is for dismissing the alert for my dog's meds, and that's part of my chore framework so I can add a dismissal into anything that's tracked similarly just by the naming scheme.

I'm planning in adding NFC tags to other household appliances to reset them, like my has_coffee_maker_been_refilled toggle or triggering a button_push event to zero the waste drawer on my litter robot. Maybe something for the appliance reminders until I get door sensors on them too.

Figuring out how to tie my tags to Tasker will probably make a world of difference once i finally get around to learning the damn program lol

But i do believe tying tags to work with appliances is their strongest suit!

Ope, I totally didn't see the community, I thought I was on a Home Assistant one. 😅 yeah I have all that through home assistant, I'm just getting back into tasker again after I thought I backed up all my automations and didn't.
