- I have no garage door opener so I added a tag in my car to open the smart garage without having to open the app and fiddle with things.
- I added a tag to our light switch that turns on our bedroom lamp (softer, more pleasant light at night).
- I added a door tag to unlock the door (no information contained on the tag so nobody can break in).
- I added a tag that pauses an automation at night so my stair lights don’t come on with motion sensing.
This is literally just the tip of the iceberg. I think of a new one every couple hours. Anyone have any other cool ones to share?

I think the best use case I’ve seen for nfc tags are periodic reminder reset. Place a nfc tag near your filter register then when you change your hvac filter, scanning the tag records the date which can then be used to send notifications when it’s time to change the filters again.
I set up two tags that trigger the Bedtime routine and taped one to the side of my wife and I’s bedside tables. I much prefer scanning the tag over bothering with my phone or yelling at Google (until I give up and do it on my phone anyways).
I also set up a few medication reminder tags for my wife. Reminder triggers once an hour until she taps the tag on the pill bottle. Very handy with medications on different schedules.
The spouse acceptance factor is huge. Nothing for her to remember.
