It sounds like you want to set up an NFC tag to trigger an automation action through Alexa when the tag is scanned. Here’s a general overview of how you might set this up: 1. **Create an Alexa Routine:** - Open the Alexa app. - Go to the "More" menu and select "Routines." - Tap the "+" button to create a new routine. - Set up your desired action for the routine. 2. **Generate a URL for Your Routine:** - Unfortunately, Alexa routines don’t directly support URL triggers. You might need to use a third-party service like IFTTT (If This Then That) or a custom webhook to link a URL with your Alexa routine. 3. **Create a Webhook or Use IFTTT:** - Set up a webhook or IFTTT applet that triggers your Alexa routine via a URL. This might involve creating a specific URL that, when accessed, triggers your routine through the webhook or applet. 4. **Write the NFC Tag:** - Use an NFC writing app to write the URL to your NFC tag. 5. **Test the Setup:** - Scan the NFC tag with your NFC-enabled device and ensure it triggers the desired action in Alexa.
