Android: REQUEST: read NFC tags and fire service

[pergolafabio]

I really like this app : HassNFC, it's a small Android app that reads NFC tags and fires a service, would be great if this could also be implemented in this great app..

More info: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/hass-nfc-control-home-assistant-with-nfc-tags/54227

It's also included in ariela, works different there, they created a sensor... Based on the value you read on nfc, the sensor changes

We should do neither, we should get a new webhook event for mobile app nfc_card_scanned that allows mobile app integration to build up known NFC cards and their IDs.

Sounds like something else to harmonize maybe? iOS uses NFC in universal links: https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/integrations/universal-links

Universal links would by far be the best thing for Android. You can call any service you want then.

Is anyone working on this already? Maybe I could try looking into how this could be implemented by using the universal links as @GrandNewbien suggested? If someone wants to help, feel free. This would be my first contribution to this project

i can help with testing , not coding,

using NFC tags every day, but still with the Hass NFC app , instead of the official one

[David-Development]

@pergolafabio Just created a first draft of how nfc support could look like. There are a few more things to discuss but the current state already works quite well on my phone so feel free to test it. (check out the branch, build the app, run it on your phone, open the app, go to the app configuration, scroll down, click on "NFC Tags" to start generating new nfc tags). Happy testing 🙂

cool, following that one
will it be soon in beta? i prefer to test then
