NFC tag automations (lemm.ee)

Hi there, i recently got 50 NFC tags and these things are amazing for making shortcuts and the like, so i need any ideas and uses you guys already have for these!

I currently use one for my Bluetooth headphones to connect, one on my work phone for call forwarding, one for my battery charger to set an alarm and one on my washing machine to set a timer for when it's done.

Any ideas are appreciated!

I remember seeing a YouTube video where a dude set up a jellyfin or Plex integration so when he scanned a specific tag a specific film played. He made it for his kids and wrapped the tags in the DVD cover art so the kids know which one is which.

Oh yeah i did a similar thing to my father where i took all his favorite records and put them on a tag which leads to a youtube playlist of the record. Definitely convenient since the record player broke many years ago.

I did something similar with a retropi for a mate.
