Add "Wrtite to NFC tag" feature #683

Open diRk262 opened 2 years ago

diRk262 commented 2 years ago

Problem: I was wondering why there is no NFC feature for the iOS App. I am able to read and write nfc tags with my iPhone and an app called "NFC Tools". So the hardware is capable doing this.

Request: Add the "Wrtite to NFC tag" feature like it is available for the Android App.

Hey @diRk262 Do you realy need this? "NFC Tools" do a great job.... and the smart integration from openHAB into the shortcut app, allow execution of actions if you scan NFC tags. I also use NFC Tags ( https://360friends.de/nfc-iphone-openhab/ ) but never think about a usecase that "write a NFC tag" should be part of the openHAB App?! Could you explain the usecase? (Note: I don't know the android app and why they add this function) Regards, Tim

Hey @lochmueller , I know it is possible to trigger commands/automations with shortcuts on iOS. But why should I use other apps when the openhab app could support this? (Like on android)

Adding a command within the openhab app is much more faster and easier than scaning it with shortcuts app and setting up a workflow. Furthermore the command is written to the tag, so other people within my home can use the tag without creating the ios shortcut.

Best regards Dirk

Good point. That would be useful 👍
