NFC tag automations (lemm.ee)

Hi there, i recently got 50 NFC tags and these things are amazing for making shortcuts and the like, so i need any ideas and uses you guys already have for these!

I currently use one for my Bluetooth headphones to connect, one on my work phone for call forwarding, one for my battery charger to set an alarm and one on my washing machine to set a timer for when it's done.

Any ideas are appreciated!

I use them for infrequent maintanence like the filter in the attic, i tap a tag when i have changed that, same for car oil and a couple of other things. I get notifications when is time again.

I'll definitely have to figure out a way to make annoying notifications that will pop every five minutes until i actually scan the tag that stops them, it'll probably skyrocket my productivity lol, how'd you set it up?

Im using home assistant and when i scan a tag i add a calendar event to HAs own calendar, for my air filter i add "check filter" 6 months from when i scan the tag.
