    hi,
    i want to do below things
    when i arrive home:
    hue wifi lights on
    alexa music on
    disable motion sensor alarm for xaomi wifi cam

    reverse when i leave house.

    can this be achieved with a NFC tag or something?
    eg. i tap a nfc tag and it triggers activity to hue or alexa or xaomi
    i dont have a android phone. just a iPhone without nfc.
    so not sure what can be done.
    any suggestions?

    Does the camera have a geofencing function? Then use it as a catalyst for an ifttt applet...

    There is an app called iftt, if this then that... It allows you to connect certain devices and allow various behaviours to trigger actions for other devices. I don't use it, but it sounds ideal for what you are trying to achieve.

    If your camera has a function to turn on/off when you are within/outside a certain range, then you can set up a task for it to trigger other actions...

    IIRC Apple locked down the NFC radio to ApplePay only? So its not nearly as useful as on Android (where Tasker should manage what you're asking).
