Using NFC Tags With Homebox

[danielrosehill]

Nothing too fancy about this but thought I'd share anyway.

Here's a HDMI-HDMI cable that I wanted to add into my inventory but .. getting a QR code on this would be very tricky!

So I bought a very pack of very small NFC tags. They fit into just the connector end!

Writing to them is easy.

I firstly created an item in Homebox (I'm using an 'Added NFC Tag' label to categorise these):

In NFC Tools on Android just create a custom URL record with the Homebox asset ID:

Then approach the tag and write it!

You can even use the 'lock tag' command to prevent them from being overwritten (note: this action is irreversible):
