Hi and thanks :)

To create revert tasks, you can use the scan conditional block.

For example :

( Cond: Scan n°1 / Include
- Task 1
- Task 2
- ...
) ELSE (
- Task 3
- Task 4
- ...END )

To toggle WiFi, Mobile Data, GPS, etc, you need to have a root access on your device.Because those tasks has being limited by Google over years of Android updates and new policies...

Here is a page that brings some alternatives to broken features :

There is some workaround with Ok Google that you can try.
Yes, because Google in the other hand have all the rights on your device...

So the trick is to use TTS to send a command to Google Assistant.

Eg:

- Launch OK Google
- Wait 2s or 3s (you can adjust)
- TTS : "Turn my WiFi on"

Hope this is helps.

Thanks a lot for your support :)

I bought a NFC writer (ACR122u, 30-50 Euro, eBay) which connects via USB to a computer.

I use the free NFC tools software on Windows (also available on Mac, Linux, Raspberry, iOS, Android) to write the data on the tag.

The NFC tag (from eBay) is a round 29mm NTAG213 sticker with approximately 144 or 180 byte storage (costs: 20-30 cents each, I bought 10). I also have credit card sized NFC tags with 1KB storage (came with the writer). Depending on the contents there a different types of tags with different sizes of storage. Like stickers, cards, keyrings, screw caps (?!?), ...

The NDEF specifications allows you to write different types of data on the NFC tag, like text, URLs, addresses (VCard like), phone numbers, e-mail, ...

After testing it, I set a password to prevent that someone alters the contents of the tag.

You could also use a smartphone with NFC and use a (free) NFC writer app (see above).

Hope this helps.

Finally I got it working on an Surface Go 2 for Business using the ProximityDevice API Class for C#/UWP.

Here's the complete story including code samples

One app that was reading NFC cards on my device was wak dev NFC Tools

I already started to propose a standalone version of my app on my website https://www.wakdev.com/en/apps/nfc-tools-se.html

Mainly due to the SMS/Call fiasco, but let's be realistic, Google Play is a large part of download on Android eco-system.

The app NFC Tools can write NFC tags, but protected fields of a card cannot be duplicate without the decryption key. There is a SE version (separate download on the developer site) with more features than the version in the Play Store.
