Basically just buy the tags, download NFC Tools (it's an app) and write your decklist URLs on the tags :)
Edit: the app is available here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc&hl=en
Highly recommended app for relative beginners: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
There's also a Tasker plugin for more more adventurous users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.balda.nfcfortasker
I use the Tasker option with my NFC implant to perform tasks depending on the app that's currently open.
You could download any app like NFC Tools, but there are many alternatives to it. Open it up, hold the phone to the neck of the kitty and it should show the information within a second or so. To be fair I have not yet tried it, I do not know exactly what information is stored on it. Most likely some id number which can be searched in a database for your contact information or whatever you provided when the kitty was chipped.
https://newagesoldier.com/make-your-own-amiibo/
You could use that app or you could follow those instructions and use an nfc app from the play Store such as nfc tools.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
And nfc tags are super cheap on Amazon or ebay.
Yeah sure, you need to download NFC tools, or something similar. Use the NFC app to program your phone to connect to your google home with Bluetooth, and you should be done.
To test what it is download an app onto your phone (I'm presuming you have an Android, if not your fucked), and just tap the card and if it reads it its NFC, else its RFID (if its contactless).
You might try downloading one of the NFC reader apps, I like NFC Tools to see what you can read from cards. It does have "Copy Tag" function. You could try copying the tag to a writable card and see if it works.
See if you can figure out what the NFC tag should read and then get a tool like this one to read your tag and make sure that the tag was properly programmed. That would be my best guess. Let us know if that doesn't do it!
The NFC code may be online somewhere or that might be a dead-end search I just send you on, I'm not sure. Someone else might have a better suggestion. Your case, if you're using one, may also be to blame, so try going without that if you've got one on.
The idea would be to first format a tag; I'd suggest using NFC Tools as this has usefulness all around. Once formatted (no payload necessary), create a new Event Profile > Net > NFC Tag. Use the Magnify glass to scan the tag for it's ID (ignore Content). For a Task, simply do a Net > NFC Tag and for Payload, use %TIME %DATE and Text as type. You'd have something like this
Profile: NFC Tag Yellow (682) Restore: no Event: NFC Tag [ ID:04B1215A61530 Content:* ] Enter: NFC Tag Yellow (683) A1: Variable Set [ Name:%payload To:%TIME %DATE Recurse Variables:Off Do Maths:Off Append:Off Max Rounding Digits:3 ] A2: NFC Tag [ Payload To Write:%payload Payload Type:Text ] A3: Flash [ Text:%evtprm() Long:Off ]
Now, each time the tag is scanned, the time and date is stored to it. For the Google Sheets part, I can't provide a working example as I don't use them, but I am sure someone will chime in to help with that one.
You may want to give a look at NFC Tools : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc You can use it to either write a time stamp to a file when the tag is tapped or have it call a URL that's a IFTTT webhook if you want an IFTTT service (like Google Sheets perhaps).
It can be tag or a reader; so if you have a fob, scan it to see it's payload. If you can't see it in Tasker, you can use NFC Tools to view it's payload. Can then use Net > NFC Tag to simulate the tag with said payload.
If you go with RFID, make sure the tags you use don't work with NFC because then kids can easily clone the tags with a app like this one and have friends sign in for them.
Two possibilities : - The NFC tag of the Amiibo is broken - The NFC reader of your controller is broken
To check if your Amiibo is working and if you have an Android phone, you can download the NFC tools app from the Play Store and try to read your Amiibo with it. If the app is showing "Platform: Amiibo" and under this you have the correct type of Amiibo written, the problem come from your controller.
Also, with the latest system update of the Switch, an update is also available to the controllers, so try to update your controller from the settings.
Don't know how they do it in iPhone, but in android there is a great app which does it. Used this tool on alot of my tags, and all of them are fine. This app will not lock by itself unless you tell the app to do so (there is that setting in config).
Maybe this is what you already know or not, but as everything, these nfc tags/cards have a lifespan too. They got some write read limits. It's nothing too much to worry about, but just wanted to tell.
Kommt drauf an. Wenn die Firma kein Bock auf Custom-Lösungen hat, dann nehmen die einfach NFC-Karten. Die Kantine meiner Schule hatte solche, da konntest du einfach mit nem Handy das NFC kann den Betrag ändern. Organisationen bei denen es um Sicherheit geht oder die etwas mehr Geld auf den Tisch legen, haben meist Karten die außerhalb des Bereichs von NFC sind. Dann brauchst du andere Hardware zum das lesen, leider kenn ich mich damit nicht aus. Du kannst mal mit der Android-App NFC Tools rumprobieren ov es klappt.
While not saying it is from tagmo itself those are 2 of the results that show up when searching it at least for me, and iirc something like n2 also was an amiibo "clone" app.
(Also the one from the first link is a free version, there is a paid version for it)
Edit: u/Bombastisch apparently I am stupid and I can't click the reply button
Here is the app I use on Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
Other apps are available, I have no link to the author of the app, just used it on and off for a few years.
Sounds like the wallet itself has the NFC tag in it, programmed with the URL to the website. Try using the app NFC tools to reprogram it and disable it. If that doesn't work, you can't figure out a way to physically remove the tag, and the wallet doesn't have any other metal parts, microwaving it for a couple seconds should fry the tag.
you can use apps like NFC tools to write it anyway... with the major caveat – that almost makes it worthless for this use-case – being that whoever wants to use it needs the app as well
Install NFC Tools and scan your card. It'll tell you what kind of NFC device you're dealing with. If it says anything other than NTAG215, you either ended up with the wrong kind of NFC card, or (like me) your phone has defective NFC. I have an HTC 10, and it actually read them as NTAG216s and gave the same error as you. When I scanned the same NFC stickers with a coworkers phone, they were NTAG215s, and worked with TagMo. I RMA'd my phone, and it just arrived today. I'll be trying again tonight.
EDIT: It all works on my newly repaired phone.
From a bit of playing around using multiple devices and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc it would appear that Libre sensors use NfcV, while S8 does not support NfcV (ISO 15693) but happily talks over NfcA and NfcB (ISO/IEC 14443). Maybe that will give you some talking points when talking with them.
Sorry slightly off topic, I see on your flair you use Z3. Does your Z3 can scan nfc card (bank card, nfc enabled card, etc) using some kind of apps like nfc tools/nfc taginfo? My Z3c can't scan the card but the nfc works fine (testing send something to my S5).
Are the student IDs NFC or different kind of RFID? Can you read the card with NFC reader like NFC Tools? Older proximity cards for access control use a different frequency (125 kHz vs 13.56 MHz for NFC).
Other problem is that many NFC access control systems use Mifare Classic proprietary protocol which is the NFC chip in Nexus 5 does not support. There is the MifareClassicTool app for working with Mifare Classic cards.
Final problem is that access control usually uses security that prevents cloning the card. I don't think it works like payments where private key is only stored in smartcard, but you would need the secret key.
For sure!
For SleepAsAndroid, you'll first need to write something to a tag. It could be anything, it doesn't really matter. You can use any NFC tag editor for this, but I like NFC Tools. (to be fair, I've never tried using a blank tag, but maybe you can do that, too.) Once you've done that, open SleepAsAndroid and tap the settings icon. About the fifth option down is for CAPTCHAS. Open that, then click on the first option, "Default CAPTCHA", and select NFC tag from the list. A dialog will pop up asking if you'd like to preview. Yeah you do! Once you're in there, click the big green "learn" button, tap the NFC tag, and you're good. When it comes time to shut off your alarm, you'll need to tap that same tag to shut it off. Just a warning, though - if you leave this tag at home and sleep somewhere else, like in a hotel, you may need to force close the app or do a battery pull. I think there's a setting somewhere to have it disable CAPTCHAs if you're not at your home location, but I've never experimented with that feature.
As for the WiFi connection, this is built right into Android. I'm on stock (Nexus 5) so the instructions might vary a bit for your device, and I'm not sure what version (4.4+? 5.0+?) but if you open your WiFi settings, then long-press a saved WiFi network, you should see three options pop up, one of which is "Write to NFC tag". Here's a screenshot of what you're looking for. One limitation is that it seems you must be currently connected to the network, probably so that the phone can verify that the log-in details are valid.
I use NFC Tasks with NFC Tools. They are both from the same developer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.nfctasks
use this app to determine if the phone really has nfc functionality. if you can install it and be able to read a card, then it has nfc.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc&hl=en&gl=US
NFC Tools. the developer is named "wakdev"
Turn on NFC on your phone and use this app to erase the present data. Then you can read/write commands on the card which will be executed once you touch the token to your phone.
What does it say in Settings > Android version > Baseband version?
Baseband version G900FXXS1CQD2
If the battery was replaced it could be a fake Samsung battery.
Check the flip side of the battery for the NFC antenna. See the attached photos in my XDA post: Fake vs OEM S5 Samsung Battery
I have tried two original batteries which was included in the purchase of new mobile phones.
You are talking about > Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > NFC and also Android Beam, right?
Yes, but there is no Andoid Beam available.
Try with NFC Checker - Check NFC.
It say ”This device support NFC”
I get with NFC Tools generic tag info, but no memory data.
les application NFC peuvent lire les puces.
ex : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc&hl=en_CA&gl=US
Yes. There's another app I have on my phone, NFC Tools. This is what I tried before Tagmo. It's more of a generic, all around writer program that should work for more than just making Amiibos. I settled on Tagmo because Amiibos were all I wanted to make, and that app does just that.
NFC Tools and make sure to protect the tags (lock which is irreversible, or password-protected which requires a password to make any changes) from being modified afterwards.
I use NFC Tools for Android and just place a link to my tappedout lists on them, probably won't work with iOS due to apples quite harsh lockdown on their NFC chip.
NFC tags are available for not that much money on Amazon here in Germany
I actually thought of doing this back then, but all my previous phones I had to unlock my phone before I could tap it to the NFC tag so I just gave up on it since that's kind of a hassle. I mostly wanted to use it to turn on/off lights, but now it's just easier to press a button or use my voice.
I can see it being much more useful for other things like turning on a home theater setup to the right settings or something, but that's just not something I have.
Anyway, something like this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc or an app that can read the NFC and pass it onto Tasker would work.
The watch doesn't need to connect to the tag. There are lots of apps (NFC Tools for android is one) that can create a Bluetooth connection tag, for whatever MAC you want.
You can try using the nfc tools app and hold the phone up against anything that might have an RFID tag, like a hotel keycard or maybe even a passport. Interestingly, it recognizes the tag in my mass transit pass.
Same issue here. Garmin pay has perfectly worked for her on my Venu SQ until the latest firmware update. I am with ABN AMRO and get the exact same error as OP.
My wife has a Vivoactive 4s and she also uses Garmin pay. Her Garmin pay is connected to our shared bank account and still works normally. I cannot pay at payment terminals where I could pay before the latest firmware update and where she can still pay with her VA4s.
I tried to read out the NFC chip in my Venu SQ from my Android phone with an NFC tool app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
My phone recognizes my Venu SQ NFC chip in the same way as it recognizes my wife's VA4s NFC chip, so it looks firmware related to me.
Will call Garmin support tomorrow.
I'm aware of shortners and that QR are ultimately rewritiable. NFC is just that much quicker IMHO. The NFC tool (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc) makes very quick work of writing new info directly to the sicker.
The past 3 smartphones and the current phone I have all have had NFC readers/writers built in so its just a Tap away from adjustment.
The other plus is that I don't even have to pull the camera app up to activate (assuming I have NFC turned on). Just hold the phone up to the sticker and off I go to the video.
I installed an app called NFC tools. Then, you can write a tasker task to an Nfc tag. So, when you scan that NFC tag, it automatically runs the specified Tasker task with no questions/popups asked
You can write NFC tags using many 3rd party apps for it. NFC Tools is a great example to write contact info, links or even Tasker commands (if you're a more advanced user)
I do the same. Got some nfc stickers from AliExpress. NFC tools is a good app. I don't use a windows app but a quick search should give you some options.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
The QR code was generated from here.
The NFC tag was purchased off ebay and programmed using this.
Using either gives a guest access to WiFi without us needing to disclose the password.
Here's what I did (btw nothing worked but you can try nonetheless):
1) I used the Play Store App NFC Tools (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc) to see if NFC was broken. I also used other phones as control. Turns out it's NFC that's broken not just Google pay.
2) Contacted Google support for NFC not working. They had me factory reset and try again with no success.
3) They recommended that I send my pixel back and get a replacement (I'm suspecting the July 2020 security update as the culprit as on July 3rd and 4th, I used Google pay no problem). I know I still have my warranty till November of this year so I told them I'd wait till the August 2020 update to see if the issue would be fixed. If not, then I'd send my pixel back.
There no way to downgrade to the June 2020 update without unlocking bootloader, flashing the June 2020 factory image and relocking the bootloader AFAIK. I am willing to wait till August before I decide to go that route or consider returning my pixel for a replacement.
For Android:
I personally use NFC Tools- it has very good writing functions, and allows you to lock the NFC chip with passwords or even make it read-only.
For doing special tasks (ie, turn on flashlight, change brightness, etc), I use NFC Tasks, which is made by the same developer and has added functionality. There are some pro features that require payment, but I have never needed to use any of those yet.
Hope this helps!
NFC Tool can launch an app on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc Keep in mind that NFC Tools or similar app would need to be installed for the NFC tag to trigger the launching of your desired app.
One thing OP can do that may work at least for a quick and free check is if they have a phone with NFC (preferrably Android), can see if the existing tag/chip will read with it. NFC readers in most phones will read some limited RFID tag types. I recommend the app linked below for Android as it will give full details on the type of tag. If that doesn't work, then you'll have to go for the referenced RFID reader/writer hardware.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc&hl=en_US
If you have a blank or written nfc card that you don't use. You can copy the nfc tag with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc and paste it onto a blank card. If the card is written you should be able to wipe it.
I hope this works for you!
Instructions:
Download NFC Tools
Launch NFC Tools
Select Write tab
Select Add a record
Select Custom URL / URI
Select OK
Select Write / 59 Bytes
Touch the NFC tag
Close the app
Next time you touch the NFC tag with your phone, Nomie will automatically launch and track your command.
Android itself doesn't have an app that lets you add cards but they let app developers control the NFC.
This is an app that lets you see information from any NFC thing you scan.
You could probably skim credit cards with an android device.
I just use the app NFC Tools to write tags as it's more feature-complete. And the tag configured for wifi works without the app since it uses the same format used by Android to write it down.
Yes, and no, there is an app but it can only copy/create the tags you want if they are not encrypted or if you have the auth keys needed. Also it has gotten a lot more restricted recently, so some of the functionality that you need might be gone.
​
Try NFC Tools https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc&hl=en_US
NFC tools will let you trigger a Tasker task.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
You'll find Tasker under various for actions of a tag
That's a bugger. My testing was limited to reading bank cards and passports etc. I've used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc as a simple confidence check. Do you know if there anyway to test HCE without using an actual banking app?
When you read the tag with a utility like NFC Tools instead of scanning directly, does it show the data included in the tag?
Maybe the passphrase used is not being transfered correctly (a special character being encoded incorrectly), or it's too long and doesn't fit in the limited storage available, etc.
^^ All of this!!!
I had so many issues with Dimensions. The tool that helped me the most is called "NFC Tools".
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
Now, if only I could get someone to release the encryption hash of all the Skylanders toys I'd be set!! Or just a master list of their character encoding....
You know... for science!!
(Damn it 404... quit showing your hand....)
Umm... I meant to say:
Computerz iz hardz... much disappoint.... trollololololololol....
Sorry... forgot meds....
For real though, NFC Tools.
Try out NFC Tools for Android, it should let you save the tag's token as a file and push it to the reader (assuming it runs the same protocols).
I don't really use android pay so it should be good for me then.
Do you have a fob or some other rfid device you can test using an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc&hl=en_GB ? You could then test whether the issue is android pay or the entire nfc reader
Is NFC definitely enabled?
Are you testing with a known-good NFC tag?
Do you get a notification sound when scanning an NFC tag?
What happens when you install and open this app then try to scan an NFC tag? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
Check that NFC is working by using an app like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc There are many others. Check that it can scan something like a kiddies Skylander toy, passport, anything with an RFID chip in it. My problems (albeit on a Samsung) were down to a 'fake' battery that lacked an NFC antenna.
I used https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc to copy the tag from the headset then I wrote the same data back to a blank tag and stuck it slightly more to the right (of the inside of the headset flap).
Depends on the exact type of card and how it's setup. If you've got an Android phone you can see what type it is and can write to blank/re-writable tags with an app like this.
Hey, just fyi, I found out that the wifi function from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc does exactly the same, and it doesn't require the app for other people afterwards.
What versions of Android? Should support reading it since L I think (5.0). Maybe earlier, my memory is bad.
If it doesn't, blame your OEM for breaking it when it works great in AOSP.
You just tap and click confirm to connect. No app needed for the phone that's reading it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
Is a good one for writing and reading NFC. Which you'll need to write your wifi pass I guess (dunno, on N its built into system wifi page)
AFAIK, writing SSID and Keyphrase to an NFC tag is very easy. It just won't be universal (no iPhone because fuck Apple's restrictions, no phones that don't have NFC)
Example
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
I don't think NFC hardware is compatible with RFID hardware, and even if it is, the protocol your gym is using may be proprietary. But, you can try seeing if your phone can read the fob with NFC Tools:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
Just download the app on the s5 and it has a read tag option, I had to do it a few times before it worked properly again on the portal. App is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
Can you reference say an Android App (Tasker plugin or not) that can read the contents of an NFC tag (not just its ID) ?
It seems there's a few out there, but mixed reviews on how well they work at retrieving all the data on the tag.
Had seen this app "NFC Tools" (but haven't tested it) that says it can retrieve "all" the data on the tag (in NDEF). Note though that this app doesn't have Tasker integration though :(
However, depending on how the App returns its data, it's very possible that AutoInput's UI Query could pull the data from this NFC App's results screen :))
There's several apps that allow this, NFC Tools is an example.
However, changing the GPS and mobile data state require root access.
NFC Tools writes info to tags natively, and can write simple vcard info to the tag.
A lot of others (like trigger) write proprietary data instead of the universal standards already in place for NFC tag data. NFC tools respects those standards and so any data (aside from the optional tasks) is readable by almost all NFC capable devices.
There are many apps that allow you to write to a tag eg NFC tools. From there, you just write a tag as phone number, and Android will read it natively, giving the user the choice of how to use the number it scanned.
just find a app on play store that write the nfc tag with a 'text',for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc&hl=en
and after make a link to save it on the nfc tag,like:
bitcoin:1JQB7mUiZhaRtKUFsYQJBKDLcnV9xbcjnk?label=FirrariStore
for the cold storage tag use your private key instead(not public)
In theory everything is possible.
Firstly, do you have an android phone with NFC capabilities?
If yes, try the NFC Tools or NFC Tag Info to get basic information like card type, generation and see which raw data it provides.
That should give you basic information to research further.
Second step would be to try evaluation of the data, to see what changes over time, do they have counters that are changed, values that are changed, when you swipe the card.
Third step includes (cheap) emulation hardware, to see if you can reproduce data sets via independent device. Something like chameleon Mini should help you further.
A step further would be questionable, depending on your local jurisdictions.
Analysis and research are always really close to the legal border. Especially if you want to disclose the information and have conducted your research without proper authorization.
Okay, here goes. Let me know if there's anything that doesn't work/makes no sense! This is how I did it with my Android phone, so some steps might be slightly different.
Check that both your phone and your partner's are NFC-enabled (Please note: iPhones, despite having NFC for Apple Pay, do not allow the user to control it)
Get yourself NFC Tools or similar (Your SO does not need this, so you don't have to arouse any suspicion)
Get some NFC Tags and/or Stickers
Record a video on your computer or phone, and upload it (plus any other digital file you want included) to a folder on Google Drive (Your SO does not need a google account)
On your phone, click on the desired folder's i button. Then click on "Share link", and select "copy to clipboard" (or similar)
Open up your NFC-writing app. In the case of NFC Tools, select the "Write" tab, then "Add a record", then "URL/URI", select "https://" from the dropdown, and paste the URL you just copied in the box next to it (removing the "https://" at the start, as this would duplicate it). Click "OK", then "Write", and follow the on-screen instructions
At this point I move my phone away, then back to it, ensuring that it works, and everything opens up okay
Satisfied that it does, I open up NFC Tools again, select "Other" along the top, then "Lock tag", which will give some protection from being tampered with en route. (If you want, you can add a password, but that's up to you)
Now, check again that it works
Finally, attach the tag to whatever you want, be it a card (greetings or otherwise), letter, or whatever.
That should be everything, but feel free to comment/PM me if that's not enough!
Bonus: if your SO receives it and goes "What the fuck, nothing happens", tell them to turn on NFC. On Android, Settings > Wireless & Networks > More > NFC (this is also a good way to check that you have it to start with).
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
This is a great app, might be useful for you
I use NfcTools and Tasker. NfcTools writes the Tasker task fo the NFC tag.
Start by trying to read the card with NFC Tools (on iPhone or Android). That'll at least tell you what type of card you have, how much data it can store, etc. If it's a Mifare Classic card, you could try Mifare Classic Tool for Android and see what data you can see with the default keys included. Try converting the data to ASCII text and look for patterns in the data. Let us know what you find!
While it doesn't solve your issue, of the results I could find, others have the same issue with no solution:

If you're open to a 3rd party app, this has good reviews:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
I assume you've tried using a NFC reader app
It took me a while to figure out the best way to implement this. Here's what I used
QR Code: https://www.qrcode-monkey.com/#wifi
NFC tags seem to be Android-only for right now, although I've heard iOS 13 might bring some changes
Logo: https://icons8.com/icon/96979/nfc
NFC Tag Writer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc&hl=en_US
If you have a device with android and NFC capabilities download NFC Tools and use the read tag option a few times. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
Haven't tried without the app installed, but I use NFC Tools to write my tags.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
I think it was this one.
Sorry for the delay, I had to test it to make sure it worked
How to setup NFC tags to trigger WebHooks on IFTTT on Android
You'll need to have two apps installed
Before we start, we'll create an IFTTT variable in the NFC Tasks app in order to avoid saving your (sensitive) IFTTT key stored on the NFC tag.
You can find your IFTTT key at https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks/settings For example: https://maker.ifttt.com/use/**xxxx**, the xxxx will be your IFTTT key.
Open NFC Tasks, then open Settings and open the User variables section.
Press Add a user variable, then name it {VAR_IFTTT} and put your IFTTT key in the Variable value field.
Then in NFC Tools you can go to the Tasks Add a task > Networks > HTTP GET and put the following in the Request field
On IFTTT you can then make an Applet using WebHooks as a trigger (Receive a web request), then choose an event name (which you'll put instead of event_name in the URL above, and you have the ability to return three additional values which can then be used as variables in your action phase on IFTTT.
You can also use the NFC Tools variables to return device-specific info, like the current wireless network name the phone is connected to, etc.
It's totally possible, but much easier to use ur phone for this. If you are using android, try the app NFC Tools https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
Nope. Just found a really in-depth Android App.
Play Store link and the pay version
Thanks, I'll try that. I was using NFC Tools for Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
NFC tools might work depending on what sort of card it is.
NFC Tools is an app on Android. You can use it to read data on cards.
I have rewritten cards using the app NFC tools either way it should show if it is locked or something.
It has an NFC chip which you can program with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
You can use Android or iPhone that has NFC with an app called NFCtools

This one seems like it has what you need but I'd have to verify
Just clone a fresh one onto a new rfid sticker
NFC Tools
This NFC Tools? Will it work on PC?

I found NFC tools which looks awesome
If you have an android phone with nfc you can use NFC Tools to read the card and then copy it.
Thanks. It took me a while to figure out the best way to implement this. Here's what I used

NFC tags seem to be Android-only for right now, although I've heard iOS 13 might bring some changes

These resources provide a good overview to start learning about NFC.
NFC Tools application is very useful during development and testing.
We are also developing NFC security solutions to protect secret data.
Maybe with NFC tools: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
The 'Advanced command' field allows you to send data/cmd.
It is also possible to use your phone to read/write data to a NFC chip https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
NFC Tools. It works well.
would you care to try sideloading nfc tools or some other tag reader?
Chip and Pin have been successfully rolled out many years ago in UK \ Europe. Security wise end to end security is vital - verification of both ends. As such online having a pseudo random key generation device is a good way to go. Generating a payment string that contains all the details of the transaction would also be a good way to go as this avoids giving out the card details. Certainly having a CVV number that changes regularly would also be good.
What is not good is the Pay Wave \ Pay Pass system - very insecure and very easily exploited.
The Pay Wave (Visa) \ Pay Pass (Mastercard) system was introduced a few years ago. Unfortunately it is very insecure :-
1) any NFC application on a tablet or smartphone can access the basic details.
2) dedicated NFC applications on a tablet or smartphone can access all the details.
3) the card can be accessed and money stolen by a thief walking by with a reader. It is a more difficult and rarer occurrence but it does happen.
4) if the card is stolen the thief just helps themselves to your bank account.
Tap-and-go card boom leaves elderly at greater risk of 'family fraud'.
All the debit and credit cards from all the banks have the Pay Wave \ Pay Pass system - Visa & Mastercard dictate it - you can't avoid it but you can disable it.
Disabling Pay Wave \ Pay Pass
You Will Need :-
1) a tablet or smartphone with a NFC app..
2) a very bright LED torch - 320 lumens narrow focussed is perfectly ok.
3) a small tipped permanent marker.
4) a small drill. 1.0mm to 1.6mm should do it.
Procedure
1) place the card under the tablet \ smartphone and scan for it using the NFC app. - it should register.
2) in a dark room place the torch under the card. Look for the thin track coming out of the right side of the chip going upwards.
3) mark the track at the top right corner of the chip.
4) drill out the track.
5) place the card under the tablet \ smartphone and scan for it using the NFC app. - it should no longer register.
It takes 1 minute to do.

Visa and Mastercard have been issuing updated versions - modifying their designs - so it's worth checking with a torch. Knocking out the NFC chip with a hole punch or knocking out a substantial part of the antennae will do the trick. The feed point (at the start) is the best place. This is the connection feeding into the antennae. The antennae is a rectangular spiral. As long as this is disconnected the Pay Wave \ Pay Pass function won't work.
The chip and PIN chip functions of itself. Anything connected to it is concerned with the NFC Pay Wave \ Pay Pass side and can be disconnected. Just make sure that the chip and PIN chip (the visible contacts) is not damaged.

Australian banks are very bad with security. They mostly don't have end to end security. Log on is usually direct keyboard entry - easily caught by a key logger - no graphic based entry and no key code generator.

Check this out, try using it with random cards and see what you get
According to card services, the main thing that is used to UID of the card itself which is determined at manufacturing of the card. The thing about these cards is that it is very easy to clone it to another card. For example, you can read the contents of your own Tech ID using an application like NFC Tools and note that region(s) are marked as encrypted. For further details on card cloning, consider this.
NFC radios like the ones that are used in Android devices usually have 3 modes; reader, writer, and card emulator. This card emulator feature is the key function behind Tap to Pay in all NFC payment methods for both Android Pay and Apple Pay. These radios are instructed to give a random UID every time they are read not just for the insecurity of the cards, but because trying to control what applications can set the UID all at the same time is impossible. So the developers decided just keep it random instead. Some more insight can be found here.
It's also noteworthy that you were able to read the magnetic strip with a reader and did some voodoo magic on that data you would get the username of the persons card. Not sure if that's still the case.
What about this app? Haven't tried it, but it says it can read every single thing from the tag.
Man do I hate being "Anti-Automte" but just use "NFC Tools", available in Google play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc
Once you have it downloaded, at the vary top tap "Write" then "Add a record", then scroll down to "SMS"
Hope this helps ; )
Idea: read the tag from some legit resin and figure out if it stores it actually in the cloud or on the tag how much resin is left. First step is reading it, here's a random app:

Interesting concept; was considering the other day if LD would let you save a vehicle/gadget upgrade to the wrong toy tag, and I think I'm going to test this today. The following app for Android can read the toy tags, and they don't look too complicated. Even the character toy tags are marked as writable and look to share a similar data format to the vehicle/gadget tags. Might be dirt easy to overwrite another toy's tag with that of a different character/vehicle as long as you have a list of appropriate values.
