Wow... your answer makes my question sound like it was sponsored.
But you are awesome. I will be making an order.
I've been looking for a way to turn all the lights off in the house and shut off my kids iPad. I can do these things by going into apps on my phone, but when I'm wanting to do it I'm often REALLY exhausted and would kill for a 1 button solution.
I don't quite see how I can use this to shut off the iPad easily. But it definitely helps with the lights. And I think if I hook the house Wifi up to a smart switch I can basically turn the iPad off.
- pbhjpbhj 8y agoYou can use NFC tags in a way such that a script is run when the device comes close to the tag. I gather you can thus do things like send an API call to turn off all the lights when you put your phone on your bedside table.
