Control your HomeKit set up house by simply tapping NFC tags.

This app allows anyone with an iPhone 7 or later to program NFC tags and assign them to their HomeKit scenes.

- Add the HomeTags widget to your lock screen for quick scene triggering

- Use background scanning (iPhoneXs and later) to provide a quick link notification which allows you to quickly open Hometags and trigger the scene without manually opening the app

Step 1) Program NFC tags using the "+" button

Step 2) Assign a scene to the NFC tag

Step 3) Slide over to "Scan" and tap the NFC tag you previously set up. That scene will now trigger!

No more "Hey Siri! Its movie time"..."Sorry I dont know what you mean by, Its groovy time, please try again"

Need to be quiet for a loved one, tap away without telling Siri?

Dont like using Siri for privacy reasons? Tap away and get the same instant convenience!

HomeKit Framework Usage Description
- HomeTags loads the scenes youve set up in HomeKit and assigns each NFC tag with their respective scene. For instance an NFC tag that is on the bed side table. You would assign your HomeKit scene "Relax In Bed" to the NFC tag you stuck on your bedside table. Then when you scan the NFC tag using HomeTags it will trigger the scene "Relax In Bed" and all the associated accessories will be automatically controlled per your scenes HomeKit settings.
- HomeTags does not control individual accessories. It only activates scenes you have already defined inside the "Home" app on your iOS or macOS device
