[Nexus 5 Accessories] sohell:
I'm very intrigued by the Nexus 5's NFC feature. I have ordered 10 tags from eBay, and plan on playing around with them.

Here are some ideas that I will be exploring:

you could store a URL on then so when someone places there phone near the tag, it loads a webpage, or, better yet, a YouTube video

You could also put an NFC sticker on the back of your business card that contains a VCard so when scanned by a phone, will add a new contact with name, address, email, and phone number

You can also use it to launch app or various actions like NFC Task Launcher

Use a nfc tag to open a photo of your list of medications for a diabetic and then be stick onto a braclet for emergency services to use

Switching on my WiFI and changing my lock screen from "pattern" to "None" when I enter my home

Switching BT on and starting Google Music when I get into my car

Putting my mobile into Aeroplane Mode at night

I have one at work setting the phone to dock mode, wifi on etc

I have one located in my entrance hall so when I get home my mobile data turns off, wifi turns on and a SMS is sent to the wife letting her know I'm home

I have one in my sofa cushion which I use on my Galaxy S3 to run a Tasker script to wake my media center and start a remote control app

Got one on my wallet as my contact card, so if some one asks for my number, I just NFC it onto there phone, works through the wallet, so you can stick it on the inside or to a card in side, or even just slip it into a pouch.

Got one on my work ID badge. So when going into work in morning, after breaks and lunch etc, swipe the phone over my badge, and it shuts everything down, leaving the phone exactly how I specify.

Put one inside the battery cover of my tv remote and if I touch my phone to it it brings up a tv guide on my phone.

On my bedside cabinet, the sticker opens IMDB as me and my girlfriend are always like "OMG who is that?!" when watching films

I have one by my bed to turn phone to silent and load up Music Streaming and then tap it again in the morning and it turn it back to "day mode"

log visitors into your home wifi network without them needing the password.

I can now connect my phone to my car cradle, and the tag on it automatically increases screen brightness to max, increases media volume to max, turns on bluetooth, and loads my sat nav app Waze

The Car

I've attached this tag to the dashboard in our car and it does the following to my phone:

Turns off wifi and enables mobile data

Turns up all of the volume settings to max

Opens my Google Music app, so I can choose a playlist to listen to

Welcome Home!

This tag is located on the bookcase just inside my front door. When I swipe my phone over it, the following happens:

Mobile data is turned off and wifi is turned on

Volumes are turned down to 50%

My phone forces a sync to check for new emails / updates etc.

Bed Time

Attached to the headboard of our bed, this tag sets my phone up for the night, it:

Sets my phone to silent

Turns off vibrate

Sets my alarm volume to full

I could also have it set an alarm, but I have a wife who is far more successful at waking me up than an alarm!

Washing Machine!

This one is my favourite, for out and out unnecessary geekiness! Attached to our washing machine, it:

Set the alarm on my phone for when the washing cycle is due to finish (I worked the length out) and this means I'm less likely to forget to dry stuff once it's washed.

It also sends an sms to my wife, telling her "I've put a load in the washing machine x".

This scores me some husband points and also remind her that there's a load in the washing machine that needs drying if I'm out when she gets home. Domestic bliss!

The Keyring

Along with the 10 tags I purchased came an additional tag on a keyring. I've programmed this one to check into Foursquare. Whenever I swipe my phone over the keyring, it opens up the list of nearby Foursquare locations and I simply tap the correct one to check in.

Darkfire2024 - Right now I have one on my laundry basket to set alarm for 30 minutes to tell me the laundry is done. i also use the keychain as a vibrate/ringer toggle for when I leave and enter meetings.

Is there a list of what others have done? Is there anything more interesting that people have already done?

I can see the potential, and am looking for other's ideas to explore.

Oh, and is Trigger (nee NFC Task Launcher) what everyone is using?
