I have some NFC tags and I set one up to turn on a light… when I scan it Home Assistant shows me it is being scanned but the light doesn’t come on…here’s the autionmation… but no matter what I do it will not work…
- id: '1676033579579'
alias: Tag TV Stand Lights is scanned
description: ''
trigger:
- platform: tag
tag_id: 5457cd5c-6397-4c54-af53-ace73b2eeadc
- platform: tag
tag_id: ''
condition: []
action:
- service: light.turn_off
data: {}
target:
entity_id: light.island_lights_2
mode: single
It does nothing but show it was scanned… suggestions?
But I am using the editior from the tag menu and not writing the yaml itself…so I’m missing something simple that I just don’t see here LOL
Sorry but it is what it is… If I knew I’d fix it…I’m not seeing the issue…
Even went online and tried this one… doesn’t work
alias: Tag Island light off is scanned

I don’t know whether your code has a typo or just won’t work. I use tags to control my security system. I use the following trigger and it works very reliably. For context I define the terminal ID and Tag IDs in variables for validation.
I know what you mean. I had a NFS mount stop working out of the blue and returning an error 111. After spending all day trying everything I read, it neve worked and I gave up. Next morning, up and working like nothing ever happened and is still working. Frustrating for sure.
