I was in a trial period with **MacroDroid** (was unaware of that at the time) and has since uninstalled it. Am currently using **[NFC tools](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wakdev.wdnfc)** to write the URL to the NFC tags.

In short I write the following URL by selecting Write \> URL / URI \>

…using: http://\<Homey-LAN-IP\>/api/manager/logic/webhook/\<kword\>

**Remember:** Substitute **Homey-LAN-IP** with Homey’s IP on your LAN and **kword** /keyword with the ones you want to look out for in flows. E.g.: **livingroom\_music**

**Homey:** Look out for the keyword like this:

**Pro:** Everyone can read and fire off the http requests  
**Con:** As others alude to, a new browser window with the return value “ok” pops up every time a tag is read. A small price to pay, but if anyone knows of a way to circumvent this, I want to know!!! 👍

Tested & worx on Android. Currently testing reading with IPhone…
