Hass NFC - Control Home Assistant with NFC tags

Thanks - they do indeed work. Just tested one out.

Do you know if there is any way of doing this on an iPhone? My wife refuses to change to android, so I need a way of getting her phone to work with these too.

Not as far as I know, but then I again I refuse to use any iDevice, so maybe things have changed. But last time I checked you can’t just read the NFC data yourself with an app. And the costs to be on the App Store are too high for an app like this IMO.

Would want to check this out as well. I PM-ed you.

You can download the app from the Play Store, not sure what’s there to try.

I did. Paid EUR1.99 and it is not working. Entered the Long-Lived Access Token I created. Not working, Also added legacy password just for this to test. Also not working.

While login with Legacy password works flawless on the frontend both on LAN and WAN so yeah.

What I did notice is that whatever is entered in security section returns a “null” message when testing. And no SSL is not enabled.

Normally I test and when it works I pay for working apps.

Any ideas?

What about ios app?

The log is telling the authentication is wrong. Which version of HASS are you running?

Make sure there are no spaces or anything in the token that you copy. And try to enable no SSL if you’re using a HTTP address.

Check my post a few posts up.

Hello! Great job

Do you have an option to use without having to unlock your phone?

Every time I scan a TAG, ask for confirmation with the biometric sensor, is it possible to ignore that too?

That’s an OS limitation I’m afraid. To be sure, you don’t get that pop-up when your phone is unlocked, right?

Yes, it appears when it is unlocked.

Hi guys, I’ve a problem on triggering NFC tag events.
I managed to read, write and duplicare NFC tags with the mobile apps obtaining the device_id and tag_id, so I put all togher onto the following automation:

- id: tag_scanned_test
    alias: Tag scanned test
    initial_state: true    
    trigger:
      platform: event
      event_type: tag_scanned
      event_data:
        device_id: ****
        tag_id: ****
    action:
      service: notify.notify
      data:
        message: "TEST"
        title: "This is a persisent notification!"

Based on this page I should see a dedicated page for managing the tags, but I don’t have it… why?
I have’t any tags listed on the mobile app tags section… it’s normal?
When I try to read the tag with the mobile app I get the “elaborating tags” notification… but nothing more, also the home assistant history haven’t nothing recoreded.

Do you have version 0.115 installed?

Nope! :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
I’m on 0.114.4 … 0.115 isn’t released yet if I’m not wrong.

This is not related to Hass NFC, right? This looks like the new complicated feature in 0.115.

This is not about my app…

I’m a huge noob when it comes to all this configuration steps. When it says you need to have the api component enabled with password how exactly is that done? I have googled for hours and haven’t had any success.

The guy literally links to it in his app, but here you go: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/api/

You can also find this with a quick google for “home assistant API”

You then setup the “long lived access tokens” by clicking on your name when you’re signed into home assistant
