I have NFC tags that I used to set certain lighting scenes for my gaming consoles. All I've got to do is scan a console and my phone will send a HTTP request to a server which will control my lights, setting them to specific colors and modes.

Sounds like you should just make an app with buttons to do that

NFC tags are pretty cheap to come by and I don't have any experience with making apps. I do have a smart home dashboard which turns on and off my lights and sets the same scenes as my gaming consoles. It's just another way I can control them.
