What is it?

This is a small(under 2in x 2in x 1in) board that can read NFC tags and connect via WiFi to toggle IFTTT events, or MQTT to interface with home automation. It also includes a RGB LED, and it can be setup without any coding(although the code is all open on github should you want to make it your own).

Why did you make it?

I have a NFC implant in my hand and wanted a easy way to toggle events with it, there was usual assortment of hodged together NFC readers with arduinos/rpi's dangling off them but no fully enclosed working solution.

What is included?

You will receive the NFC-WiFi Board in a custom white 3D printed enclosure, two NFC tags(one card shaped one, one keychain tag), and a 2m MicroUSB cable.

How to set it up?

Here is a link to my website where I maintain documentation and video links to setting up and using the NFC-WiFi board. www.mattvarian.com/nfc-wifi

Webhooks IFTT

Hi mate,

I created a webhooks profile named NFC01 to send a notification to my phone running IFTTT in the background with one tag. With a second tag I created a profile for webhooks to send an email to an email address, this I named NFC02.

Both using the account code as you instructed. NFC01 has been seen 3 times, however not one of these has been recorded on the phone. It seems to have stopped going recording a trigger. I never got it to recognise NFC02 and trigger an email.

Not all is lost. I will set up the second unit, and work my way back from there, if necessary, I will just delete my IFTTT account and get a new one.

No biggy. Now that my LoRaWan issue is solved, I can spend more time on this one.

I intend to set these up to monitor a secure medicine chest. I need to be able to

A: Open the chest
B: Record each medicine accessed Individually
C: Lock the cabinet when PRN doses have been reached so it will not open without overriding.
D: Use this to record when new meds need to be collected and scripts renewed.
E: Let me know when I have taken meds, so that when Im sitting there wondering whether Ive taken them, there is a recording I can simply access that says Ive taken them.

A few things going on, but, with implants from Dangerous Things, and what you have produced, I think I have the makings of something useful. It might actually help me help myself learn to programme something other than in Assembly Language and op codes.

So will let you know how I go with this puzzle.

Jason.

Hey thanks for the review, glad to hear it's working partially for you. If you get a change to debug whats going on a bit more and need help please feel free to email/message me and I'd be happy to help try to figure out where the connection is failing along the way.
