NFC tags as medication reminder or warning if too soon

Good afternoon,

Have tried the following, and seem to get stuck at various spots.

The goal is to create a time log entry when various medication was taken using unique NFC tags on the various medicine.
Display this information as a log or chart.
If the medicine is scanned too soon an alert is generated, and if the medicine is not take in time, an alert is generated.

I would also like if a notification can be generated on too soon/too late events.

Hmm, I think you can use some automations:

  • Time based to reset the medication
  • NFC Tag based for set a medication as done if not and notify if already done.

As storage one helper per medication can be the key, I think.
You can see the states of the helpers in the history and the current state on the dashboard.

But this is just an idea how to solve that.

I did not think of it that way. Thank you. So, a timer for each medication, as it runs out it is triggered.

Could I use an automation mode set to “single”, and capture the “warning”? I gather the automation creates a log entry.

Now the question is, can i trigger another automation depending on a log entry (or make the log entry creation by the other automation a trigger)?
