NFC Tag Support

Open popeyes-chicken opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I'd like to set up nfc tags in different locations of my house, each linked to starting separate trackers within the app. I'm not sure if this is already possible by adding some kinda parameters to the tags using NFC Tools, but either way it would be rad to have it as a native option for extra convenience.

Interesting idea. I must admit I'm unlikely to implement this. You might want to look into Tasker and Auto tools. I haven't used them my self, but i'm pretty sure some other users have had some success with them. Essentially it acts as a glue layer between other protocols/triggers to add data in T&G. It's possible I will try and do some work to make that a bit smoother with Intents at some point. Perhaps one of those supports NFC triggers?

This is totally possible with Tasker or MacroDroid which would handle NFC and opening the app.

But I think there still needs to exist an option to launch into the right tracker either via Intents or implementing Tasker plugin functionality.

Regarding the Tasker plugin functionality I found these links: Documentation by a independent plugin dev: https://github.com/NickM-27/Nick-Nack-Tasker-Plugin-Docs Additional documentation by the Tasker dev himself (some said that it might be outdated): https://tasker.joaoapps.com/pluginslibrary.html, https://tasker.joaoapps.com/pluginsservicesmigration.html

Edit: This would be similar to issue #6. Edit 2: These two issues could also be implemented with Tasker support: #153, #154
