I love playing with my HA and associated devices. I suspect that most of you reading this get a bit of a jolt every time you add and incorporate a new sensor, camera, integration and get to play with it.
I have all the door/window sensors and locks/covers, every angle of my exterior covered with cameras, alarm, network devices, appliances, sprinklers, household devices covered.

The only downside is that the smartphone needs to be unlocked 🙁
You don’t need to unlock your phone to fire an event in HomeAssistant. My iPhone needs to be awake but will still scan and run shortcut while locked.
In Android NFC doesn’t work when the device is locked 🙁 That’s strange that it does on iPhones, usually is the other way around! 😄
Not if you build an NFC tag reader! Then anyone can scan tags! Great for music jukeboxes!
Do you mean that smartphones can act as a NFC tag? Even when they’re locked?
Oh sorry, I meant that with an nfc tag reader you don’t need the smart phone. Apologies that I wasn’t clear.
Oh, nooouuuu! I was so happy when I read your post! 😆 Thanks for clarifying.
