I have no garage door opener so I added a tag in my car to open the smart garage without having to open the app and fiddle with things.
I added a tag to our light switch that turns on our bedroom lamp (softer, more pleasant light at night).
I added a door tag to unlock the door (no information contained on the tag so nobody can break in).
I added a tag that pauses an automation at night so my stair lights don't come on with motion sensing.

This is literally just the tip of the iceberg. I think of a new one every couple hours. Anyone have any other cool ones to share?

I have a couple stuck to speakers. When I tap them they either:

Play music that's paused

Pause music that's playing

Start Release Radar playlist if nothing is playing yet.

I did this using LMS aka PCP
