Philips Hue with NFC Tags steering wheel

Smartphone or payment card and terminal stop, zack, bezahlt – All useless Near Field Communication (NFC) standard. Now there may be more problems, if we use two green devices: NFC booting is a billig and smartphone installed on the smartphone. Lighting up is a fact: Convenient and a label stops and cleans a Hue lamp, turns it on, changes its color or washes it anytime.

This is the setup

I found a few things: You can use NFC tags and use both free apps, NFC Tools and NFC Tasks. NFC Tools describe tags, including assignments/tasks. And NFC tasks are performed automatically. And the upgrade may have an effect on the Hue Bridge. Everything about a small route: Ausgeführt with a Verknüpfung from the App HTTP Shortcuts, which ensures Ihr wiederum with a simple curl command.

HTTP Shortcuts are open source, both NFC apps are market leaders. NFC Tools is available as a Pro version for 4 euros, but the German promotion cannot last longer.

1. Hue control via API

Zunächst benötigt Ihr Zugriff on the Hue API. An automatic view has appeared, which has written all versions of version 1 of the API. It has never been easier when the Philips is self-protected.

Then I take advantage of those wishes curl Kommandos zum Steuern der Geräte per Kommandozeile. Obviously, I can direct the right HTTP requests, but I have no choice but the only way 😉 If all goes well, here you want – wiederum for the API v1. Zur aktuellen API v2 may be a small syntax, so that the curl function functions, ist der Frickeldeel aber auch vorbei.

2. Add HTTP shortcuts

Now install the HTTP Requests Shortcuts app from F-Droid or Google Play.

The Anlegen eines Shortcuts is simple:

1. Über Plus button new shortcut added
2. More normal HTTP shortcut/Aus cURL-Befehl erstellen whählen
3. curl orders to finish and finish
4. Sinnvollen Shortcut-Names vergeben
5. Reaction settings open
6. At Erfolg auf Say nothing wechseln
7. Speichern

If you want to use a shortcut, you can use it on the list or a widget directly. Bond jede Aktion enjoy this shortcut.

3. NFC tags are described

Install the NFC Tools and NFC Tasks apps from Google Play.

Test the best of everything, with all the features, so you can’t use NFC tags – a hint and a smartphone stop.

Wechselt dann zum Bereich Aufgaben and a new statement has been made Apps/Verknüpfung ausführen. Here I now die Like this and wait for the list HTTP shortcuts aus.

Once you are in the Shortcuts app overview, you can perform the desired operation. Und fout Euer Telefon fragment: Als Platzierungsmethod works here on a Pixel 6 with that method Legacy. If only that was technically allowed…

If you want to do the following, here’s what you can do: suck it up and start it new Aufgaben-Reiter.

Tap now first Schreiben and stop with the NFC Tags and your smartphone – it’s an all-okay dialogue that is useful. Zum Testen will now use the NFC-Tag once, also once Lesen-Reiter Wechseln and Tag and Gerät stop.

4. Inflate

Now you can see it again 😉 Delete all Apps or delete it from the Home screen and stop the NFC Tag and Gerät – Light on.

Once the war is over, the rest of the time is free to use a tag for all activities.

Schöne an unserem Konzept: This is a universal universe and all actions that are not performed with NFC tags. So all in all, it was a (web) API that would help you with this Art and Weise support.

If it is more: if there are no more gelungen, the normal Shell script is activated via Termux, but it is not too bad, but the Pro version, then the task can be performed with Tasker. Both apps cost 7 euros, 60 tags cost a man for 10 euros – extremely expensive, if NFCs were of great use.
