I remember seeing a YouTube video where a dude set up a jellyfin or Plex integration so when he scanned a specific tag a specific film played. He made it for his kids and wrapped the tags in the DVD cover art so the kids know which one is which.
I did something similar with a retropi for a mate.
Oh yeah i did a similar thing to my father where i took all his favorite records and put them on a tag which leads to a youtube playlist of the record. Definitely convenient since the record player broke many years ago.
I am thinking of putting one besides each security camera so I can trigger private mode for say... An hour.
Or stick it in front of the lens so you have privacy for exactly as long as you want
;-)
I use them for infrequent maintanence like the filter in the attic, i tap a tag when i have changed that, same for car oil and a couple of other things. I get notifications when is time again.
I'll definitely have to figure out a way to make annoying notifications that will pop every five minutes until i actually scan the tag that stops them, it'll probably skyrocket my productivity lol, how'd you set it up?
Im using home assistant and when i scan a tag i add a calendar event to HAs own calendar, for my air filter i add "check filter" 6 months from when i scan the tag.
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. ๐ 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.
If you combine it with a tag reader (ESPHome + ESP2866 or ESP32) you can make playlists to start playing something on your speakers. Akin to a jukebox.
