  • How to use NFC to control your home with iOS 13

    Why tap an NFC tag as you leave or arrive when the Home app already has geofence automation rules? I don't have to do a hip check or anything to turn my lights on when I arrive because the rule already triggered as I turned into my driveway. I have another rule that turns lights off when the last person leaves.

    But I am looking forward to conditionals adding more capability to the automation rules.
    Because geofencing sucks. It is ridiculously unreliable, does a poor job of handling multiple people, and is not user friendly enough for real world use.

    My wife is not going to walk out the front door with "hopefully the location thing works and everything gets locked/armed". Nope. But she will bump her Apple Watch to the NFC tag and see/hear it all happen instantly.
    Eh, Geofencing works great for me (iPhone X) and I am prompted every time I arrive to "Run" the assigned automation.  But here lies my issue with this - we need the option to automatically run the home automation without user consent.  Hopefully Apple added this feature - can anyone confirm who is running the beta?
