NFC tag or equivalent for activities

bittihuduga

hi,
i want to do below things
when i arrive home:
hue wifi lights on
alexa music on
disable motion sensor alarm for xaomi wifi cam

reverse when i leave house.

can this be achieved with a NFC tag or something?
eg. i tap a nfc tag and it triggers activity to hue or alexa or xaomi
i dont have a android phone. just a iPhone without nfc.
so not sure what can be done.
any suggestions?

Does the camera have a geofencing function? Then use it as a catalyst for an ifttt applet...

There is an app called iftt, if this then that... It allows you to connect certain devices and allow various behaviours to trigger actions for other devices. I don't use it, but it sounds ideal for what you are trying to achieve.

If your camera has a function to turn on/off when you are within/outside a certain range, then you can set up a task for it to trigger other actions...

thanks for the reply.
i use ifttt for quite a few things,
but i didn't know about camera geofunction trigger for ifttt.

IIRC Apple locked down the NFC radio to ApplePay only? So its not nearly as useful as on Android (where Tasker should manage what you're asking).
