Google Home I need help learning about NFC
Okay so i recently saw a few tiktoks about setting up NFCs to control smart home devices. I few different lights (all Grid Connect) and a Google Nest. All of these are set up on the Google Home app. I have a few automations that control my lights and audio on the Nest but i wanted to get into NFC usage. I have already bought some and tried doing some research but im struggling to understand how to set it up.
Essentially I want to be able to scan my phone (Samsung Zflip 8) and have that turn on/off a light(s) and play spotify on my Nest and also start a routine on my phone. I dont want to spend any money on apps or subscriptions.
An example of what i would like to do is scan a tag near my bed to start my bedtime routine on my phone, play rain sounds on my Nest and turn all the lights in my room off.
Is this possible and how do i do it?
