Hi all,
I must admit that I am completely new in the SW development for this kind of platforms. Therefore, I would like to ask you guys to direct me to a good way to start.
I have an application in mind that i would like to do it myself, and is for a personal application, so nothing to do with what is out... but it will involve the touch screen and it has to deal with a little database.
In other words, it would be like....
The main screen should be 9 squares (similar to a numeric keyboard), and pressing any one of those squares should pop/up a different screen with a list that correspond to that specific square (exactly how the calendar works).
There should be a secondary window to enter data to the list where I shoud associate every entry with an square.
This is basically all...
I have good experience programming C/C++... but not c sharp. So any document, example code, api, that you can provide is very welcome...
Thanks you all in advance...
Hello my dear friends in XDA-developers
My request is simple, and I think this might get some developers here interested.
As the title says, it's a screen lock application the Android way (i know there is quite some screen lock applications, but one more is never too much ).
Expected functionalty from the application can be with (but not stop at of course!)
- Screen protection against unwanted screen activty.
- Notifications (e-mail(multiple accounts!!!), sms, voice mail, mms, and missed calls)
- The ability to change the volume to mute without unlocking the screen (just the way does it on Android )
So, any enthusiastic developer care to jump at this request and fulfil it
sincerely and most thankful for the continuous support.
I thought about doing this last night.
There's already something out there that replicates the lock screen, it's called "ThrottleLock".
I'm not sure whether it has all the functionality, as you ask, but it's worth taking a look at.
Meanwhile, I am looking into developing for WM devices (mainly for the HTC HD2). I think I may do something like this as a little project.

Throttle Lock is already there as you say .. but it doesn't has the mute while locked functionality,
Also, it turned out to be a not-so-light lock screen. Its main function is pattern lock, for security, but I want the style .. not the security.
I have Xperia X1i, so there won't be a resolution difference between HD2 and X1i, but SEX1i doesnt have accelerometer, neither does it have proximity sensor
You can start your project knowing that there is ALREADY a tester ready ..
best wishes
A Small Story to serve as an introductory:
So a while back, when I got my brilliant Excalibur, I started developing small applications. Some of you may recall the, now long dead , thread I had called CycloneApps [By Request]. I started with C#, and did some ok things [in my opinion] and they helped serve as a learning block for bigger and better developments. I have gone from CMail.exe, the command-line replacement to tmail.exe, all the way to FFP_LockScreen [Fake FingerPrint LockScreen], which unfortunately was aimed at Touch-Screen phone users as a project I undertook as I showed interest on a thread in the Software Development sub-forum. I got my original inspirations and 'drive' to develop from this here community, the Excalibur owners or supporters, and I thought it be best that I now fulfill a request made by Ookba, the great Chef who has brought our phones new life.
See, shortly after I started taking requests, Ookba suggested I re-make SMSBubbles to be more functional with the ROM. At the time, with the speeds of the .NET CF, it seemed impossible to really do. But I come back to you all now with the knowledge of C++ So as a token of my appreciation to all Excalibur owners, I want to develop CycBubbles, an SMSBubbles remake with features YOU want!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Having said all of that, I ask now that if anyone has any interest in such a program becoming available to the Excalibur, they reply to this thread with Ideas concerning one of the following:
Soft-Keys: What should the LEFT soft-key and RIGHT soft-key do [ and under what circumstances] ?
Look and Feel: Do you like the SMSBubbles 'bubble', or do you want something different? [Realize that more complex designs = slower speed]
Rules: How about some filter-rules about when the bubble should or should NOT appear.
Positioning: Do we all like the bubble at the bottom of the screen? Maybe we can make it more PPC-Like if it were in the Center, or from the TOP.
Extra Functions: What kind of extras would you like? (i.e. Should I utilize the 0 - 9 keys on the keyboard to do something?)
Once I get the ideas from YOU guys/girls, on what YOU want this program to do, I can start developing
Please consider
if you want to see this program really flourish
Reserved for later use
Rules would be awesome. How about setting bubbles only for certain contacts? Would the .cab install work for other ROM's besides ookba's?
I would most definitely aim to make the program ROM INdependent.
Thank You for the feedback
it would be interesting to make the left and right soft keys customizable...
and as for the location/look of the bubbles, that to would be nice to customize and to relocate wherever the user feels. top, bottom, left, right, center...
the rules sounds good, and maybe apply an ignore feature to certain annoying contacts lol. like a black list on contacts that the bubbles won't show up for.<-- pretty much what Frostmoon said. lol
pretty much make it user customizable friendly.
nice to see you around these parts again.
Due to the rather disheartening amount of feedback on this thread, I will most likely not develop this in the near future .
I am currently consumed with finishing up my next version of Fake FingerPrint LockScreen for Touch-Screen phones, but that should be over in about a week.
I have been pondering re-starting development on my Horizon Home-Screen, if any of you remember that (if not, you can search it). My further knowledge of C++ will most definitely assist me in making this HomeScreen I had dreamed of making a while back when I only knew C#.
So I suppose be on the lookout for any news on that, and check here occassionally to see if I post back. For now, I am going to leave this on Stage 1 (Gathering Ideas), NOT DISCONTINUED, because I do hope to have the time to come back to this soon and give back to the community that started me off

Yeah it's a real shame as the idea was requested by users yet response so small, no longer have an Excalibur but think that the development of a SMS bubble app with more configurable options would be welcomed by many smartphone users and not just Excalibur, maybe worth thinking as a project for D&H rather than just Excalibur users.
>sms bubble duration
>marque of sms
>if recived multiple sms we shuld b able to select the one to view....

As stated above, good ideas!
@Cyclonezephyrxz7 - This can be a good start don't you think?. Thanks for your work dude, I hope to see this project rolling out
@Mr.Clown (and all others too)
Yes, it did serve as a sort of inspiration to start up. Thank You to those who did contribute ideas thus-far. I have not started up a thread yet, but http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7166724&postcount=39
Expect something soon (Within a month maybe?)
Also, I am now officially a co-founder, and primary developer for Chicken-Egg Solutions. This will become my main venue for application development and requests, as well as web-design, computer repair, and problem solutions (Most of these will be taken care of by my friend, the other Co-Founder). The website will be up soon (www.chicken-eggsolutions.com), check back every so often
Hi Cyclone,
We met in another thread. But I would like to raise my function request here for your consideration.
I am looking for a delivery note management function that allows my to keep track of my sms receiver. I would like to know who, by name, have received my sms and at what time. I don't know if such function is appropriate for the software you are developing. If so, please consider to add this function into it. If not, appreciate if you can point me to the right direction.
So are you requesting, as opposed to the normal Delivery Requests that Windows Offers, to make a type of 'Delivery Notification' that gets stored in some XML-like file for future reference?
It will be great if the software can list out the receiver name and date/time of the delivery notification. It will ever greater if it can match the sms/delivery notification with the acknowledgement send out by the receiver after receiving my sms.
If it only output an XML, user will have to figure out how to display it on a mobile phone.
how about an option of reading the incoming sms....like in nokia mobiles
Like Text-To-Speech?

ya... how about that.. i think it shuld be customizable soft button or a different button..
I will see. I feel that that may increase the size of the app distinctly, and also distinctly reduce the speed. Although I could probably figure a way to not let it be affected.
Anywho, Thank you, ALL, so much for these ideas. I suppose that I will start attempting to make this once I am fully done with my FFP_LS pro (Which, by the way, works on Excaliburs! and other non-touch-screen phones ) and when I get my internet back fully.

Thanks for your work and for sharing it, we will wait then
Revised Idea, and then some
Okay, so this post contains a little meat to it
1) I want to let people know about FFP_LockScreen Pro 2.0, now available on my website( www.chicken-eggsolutions.com ). My partner and I do app development as well as web design/development. FFP_LS Pro 2.0 is fully based on C++, has many customizable components, and best of all it is (what I consider to be) a pretty legitimate replacement lock for our phones. I have made this version (and all future versions) compliant with our lovely Excaliburs. Instead of having to press the screen, trick people with a "slight of hand" by putting your finger on-screen while pressing the space-bar with your knuckle (thats how it works for me) and it will start scanning. Trust me, it mystified half my family already haha. Anywho, it is shareware, so there is a free NON-EXPIRING trial. THe trial has its limiatations however. Also, another feature that is in this for our lovely Exca's that is currently NOT available to TOuch-Screen phones is true replacement (sorta) of the default lock. By using specific API commands, I was able to get it to run when we initiate the default lock! Cocky as it may sound, I feel this lockscreen beats S2U2 in 3 ways: (1) Tests have shown it to boot faster, (2) it actually replaces the default lock, and doesn't use some timeout trick, and (3) is actually blocks other windows [unlike S2U2 which can be overridden by pressing the TaskManager key or Messaging Key (on my phone at least)]. So yeah, personally I recommend it, but I made it. I will extend the same challenge here as I did on the Development forums: If you can make an interesting skin for the program, you can win a free license (3$ value)
2) So recently I have become extremely pissed off with tmail.exe. When I have actual 'conversation - length' messages, it is slow and just overall frustrating! So I thought, "Hey, I am already starting CycBubbles...why not make it a whole 'suite' type thing". So I am considering making my own Messaging Client EXE. It would be a major switch, as it would eliminate CE MAPI for the most part (it would keep messages stored there, but its main access would be via XML). Then as an extension to this I can h ave CycBubbles. Generally, I find, SMSBubbles works...and it is reliant on CE Mapi, so I can make one reliant on XML, not CE MAPI, that works comfortably with my own client. What do you think of that idea? This would obviously require a lot more time. But if it is what I imagine I can do, it will be faster and better
So I guess that is it really... If i remember anything else I wanted to say, I will post back again!
Well.. I believe it is a great idea...
Picture this...
You have a pattern lock or password on your phone...
Someone asks to use your phone...
You input the code backwards.. i.e. if your code is 1234 you enter 4321
That enables a "guest"/safe mode for the user...
What you guys think?
It would be easier to just have a "safe" mode that's activated by choosing it either when already unlocked or when unlocking - but still using the same password.
The "backward password" thing is a cute urban legend about ATM PINs, but examination of the legend reveals the flaws in a "backward pin" idea. Say your password is "3553" or something - it would be silly to limit passwords by prohibiting those when the "safe mode" could be entered another way.
Of course, this also questions what "safe mode" really is and how it would function - would developers have to develop the functionality for this per-app ?
It's an interesting idea, but it doesn't seem useful enough to me to be worth the time and money spent in development. It might be better just to not give your phone to people who want to snoop or take it out of eyesight.

There was a ROM that had this mode.. all your texts disappear.. pictures are hidden.. background is plain.. recent calls are hidden.. stuff like that.. my idea, i guess, would be for people who do not want to make it so obvious as to making it guest mode and doing it in a hidden way
I'm still not keen on guest user idea. Nobody touches my phone..period. ..
i think its a cool idea
This is a great idea, I'd do it to all my iSheep friends that want to feel the greatness that rests in my pocket. Post the idea where it can be possible to happen in Android General... I'm guessing that'd be best for it to get some eyes on it, maybe an app dev will jump on it for you.
4.2 Jelly already has guest mode right? Shouldn't be too hard to implement this if anyone actually wants this feature..
Does it?

Introduction
So a few months ago I got my first NFC implant in my left hand, I haven't been able to find a thread for those of us who have them or much information on them apart from the basics.
So here it is.
*UPDATE*
Did you know I gave a talk on NFC implants at The March Of The Droids Conference?
You do now, so here's the video

What You Should Know
It's virtually painless to have them implanted
They should last a life time
The implant itself is about the size of a grain of rice
They can be removed easily if needed
They are smaller than standard NFC tags and therefore have a smaller range, on my note 2 it took me a while to find the spot I had to place my phone (the center of "SAMSUNG" on the back), however a week later I was able to get it straight away
They only have a small amount of storage, if you want to use it for longer or multiple links etc a url shortener is probably your best bet, however it can handle " my name, phone number, email address and facebook page"
You can feel it under the skin, but cant see any lump etc
Work or UNI cards can't be copied over to it however as the implant is Miifare compatible, my IT department at uni were more than happy to scan my hand and add it to the system
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
General Uses
Unlocking phones
Miifare authentication
Logging in to Windows
Passing information such as URLs and contact details without the need for social media or email etc
Launching Tasker profiles
Opening Apps
Unlocking Samsung EZON digital locks
Activating Cyanogen Profiles
Anything you can use a NFC tag, RFID tag or Miifare card for!

In Android
Unlocking your device
Prior to Android 5.0.0
By default in android, NFC is turned off when your screen is off or the device is locked, to enable a NFC implant to unlock a stock lock screen their is a Xposed Module called "NFC LockScreenOffEnabler" which allows NFC polling without your device being unlocked or if you so desire your screen being on as well. This module also includes the ability to select tags that can unlock your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5.0.0 +
With Androids new smart unlock you can set your device to unlock with nfc without the need for root and Xposed, to set this up all you need to do is navigate to:
Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Trusted Devices
Then simply tap the + icon, select NFC and scan your implant.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
with either method once you have done this all you need to do is to do is to scan your tag whenever you are at your lockscreen and your device should unlock for you
Sharing links and contact details
This is possibly the most simple use for an NFC tag and can be achieved through most nfc apps, I favour PLAY STORE: NFC Tools.
once the app has been installed, open it and select the "write" tab, select "add record" and then either URL or contact depending on your needs.
URL:
after selecting URL from the add record screen all you need to do is to select your URL scheme from the drop down menu the will usually be either HTTP:// or HTTPS:// and then enter the remainder of the url in the text box to its right.
I usually use a URL shortener such as goo.gl as the implants have limited storage capacity.
Select ok and the on the following screen select "write" and scan your implant. Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Contact details:
after selecting contact from the add record screen you will see a simple self explanatory form including: name, company, phone number, email and website. after entering all or some of this information, select ok and the on the following screen select "write" and scan your implant. Done!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Once these have written, scanning your implant with any nfc enabled phone should either open the URL or add the contact details to the devices contacts
Sharing Social Media App Links
You want someone to be able to scan your implant and their Twitter or Facebook app open to your profile? If you were to set it up so that upon scanning the app was opened straight away this could cause issues if they did not have said app, they would be instead directed to the play store and the link would be lost unless they installed and re-scanned your implant. However Android allows an excellent way around this.
Start by navigating to the "Write" tab in NFC Tools as above in the "Sharing Links" section
Select "Add Record" followed by "Social Networks"
Select the network of your choice and in the next screen enter the username associated with the profile you wish to open
Hit "write" and and scan your tag
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now when some one scans your tag instead of opening the link in either the app or their browser it should instead give them the choice to open it with any applicable applications
Opening mifare card controlled doors at work and uni etc
simply put the only way to do this is to speak to your IT department, if they are ok with it they will scan your tag with a reader and add you to the system. mine were more than happy to accommodate and the entire process took less than 2 minutes. not including the time it took to answer all the usual questions "why, how and what?". you should immediately be able to start using it.
PSA: It is highly advised that you check with your IT department first as to the type of Mifare they use, NFC implants use Mifare Ultralight which may not be compatible with your system. Also any other method of using your implant to open doors etc may violate your companies security policy, please be smart and only do this through your IT department.

The two apps I use for day to day use of my tag are: PLAY STORE: NFC Tools and PLAY STORE: Dangerous NFC
NFC Tools comes with loads of features, not just useful for implants but for all NFC tags making it simple to read and write to your tag a wide variety of records, simply select the type of record you would like e.g. URL and it brings you up a wizard to complete your record.
Dangerous NFC however ensures your implant cannot be locked permanently and allows you to set a 32 bit password to stop others unlocking your tag

Where can I get one?
The implant I have is a NTAG216 from Dangerous things and can be bought here and will set you back £60 GBP, $100 USD or 80 Euros. These come in a sterile injector assembly and also come with a bottle of chloraprep skin prep, sterile surgical gloves, bandages a gauze pads. Most piercing studios however should already have these things.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Getting it implanted
Dangerous Things offer a map of piercers that are competent in the implantation which can be found here and also offer training manuals and videos on the implantation procedure for piercers who have not done it before. as well as a guide for approaching a piercer new to implants, the following is an excerpt from that guide
Print out, in color if possible, the two pro guides from http://dangerousthings.com/pro-guide, specifically the Introduction to Implantable Transponders for Professionals, and the Professional Guide to 2x12mm Transponder Installation documents.
Call local piercers in your area to schedule an appointment to simply come in and talk about a specific piercing you want. Do not talk about the implant or go into detail on the phone, just say you’d like to talk to them before you decide to get a piercing. They should be happy to have you come in and chat.
Go to the shop with the printed documents. Bring the product with you, but do not expect to get it implanted that day. The best you can expect would be to hand over the documents for the piercer to review at a later time, and have a short discussion about what it is you want implanted and why. If you’re lucky, the piercer will be ok with it and you’ll get an implant done that day.
Plan to visit multiple shops until you find one willing to perform the procedure.
If we can help in any way, let the piercer know we’re available for free phone consulting and advanced Q&A, just contact us via the website and we’ll call them.
When you get a piercer to perform the install, please let us know who by sending us an email, submit our contact form, or ping us on Facebook. We’d love to get their information so we can upgrade them to a full partner and list them on our partner map!
I can't fault this advice in the slightest however I would add that a piercer who is familiar with micro-dermals as implantation
The procedure itself doesn't take more than a minute and simply involves injecting the implant under the skin
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For now that's all, if there is anything you think I should add or have any questions feel free to ask
*UPDATE*
See the video in the first post to hear my full implant story
I'll lead by example and share my story first, after seeing an article on Biohacking about a year ago I took an interest and started looking for ways to add tech to myself in a more sterile/surgical way than I had seen many people do.
I found a company who sold NFC NTAG216 tags encased in bioglass about the size of grains of rice and preloaded into a syringe like injector assembly, so after months of pondering I contacted my local piercing shop (very good/clean) and proposed the idea to one of the guys, he loved the idea and agreed to do the implantation after reading the training manuals etc.
a week later my parcel arrived from across the pond, all very sterile and included loads of extras like gauze, plasters and Chloraprep.
heading back down to the piercing studio, he took a look at the injector and we spoke about it for about 45 min whilst he marked up placement in my left hand and then he did it, I was expecting a massive amount of pain but it actually only hurt about as much as an injection and a minute later it was done leaving only a red dot behind to show something has ever actually broken the skin.
I now use mine to unlock my Note 2 after installing an Xposed module that allows you to detect nfc whilst locked another great use is to send people links without having to involve email or social media etc, just copy it to my hand and pick up their phone and it opens
Where could I get one done at, and what kind of things do I need to know before I get one?

NFC payments
Hi, does anyone know whether the NFC LockScreenOffEnabler affects NFC payments in some way? I have Note II with Android 4.4.2, if it can help.

No it does not affect payments in any way
Today is one week since I got mine put in. It's going fine, I didn't lift weights this week or even play much guitar (killing me).
However, mine migrated a bit. I rewatched the video after the piercer put it in, and realized he inserted the needle a little far back to begin with. Shame on me for not rewatching it right before I went in to get it done. He watched the video, read the manuals (according to him) but he also kinda had an "all-knowing, I know what's best, I've been doing piercings for 20 years" personality.
So mine has migrated towards the back. One end is kinda close to that trapezoid bone and near my thumb bone. It's still within the fleshy part and I haven't had any pain. I'm thinking it will be fine, because even if it was close it's still sitting ABOVE the bones and shouldn't interfere with anything, right?
I guess it could always be removed if it ever caused issues. Trying not to be a hypochondriac, you know? I think it's fine. How was placement on yours?
I'm trying to figure out a door lock right now. I can't replace anything at my apartment complex, so the Samsung Ezons are out of the question. I don't like them anyways, aesthetically. I want the outside of my door to look stock. The options that mount onto existing deadbolts from the inside are all BLE and WiFi. I wish there was a Z-Wave (if you know what that is) NFC/RFID reader. With that set up you could read the tag and send a command to a lock that's Z-Wave compatible as well which would unlock the door.
What're you doing with yours? Since I installed this I'm committed to the technology now lol.
Door lock

I just got the xNT implanted two weeks ago, awesome little piece of future. Talked a med student buddy of mine into doing it.
Tried to embed my video here, but I can't since this is my first post.
I've decided to ditch the Samsung and go with an Arduino DIY lock using the RC522 as the actual reader. So far I only have a "electric door strike" type of lock, but I think I'm gonna find some kind of electric deadbolt on ebay.
If anyone has an alternative to the RC522 reader that is more compatible with the cylindrical form factor of the tag, please let me know :fingers-crossed:

If anyone has an alternative to the RC522 reader that is more compatible with the cylindrical form factor of the tag, please let me know :fingers-crossed:

How has yours healed? Any migration? Mine moved a bit and is further back than I'd like, but it's still within the webbing and don't think it'll cause any issues.
That little arduino reader looks sweet. I've never got into coding anything like that. I know I could figure it out but would honestly prefer to just buy something. Either way, could you keep me updated?
You running NFC LocksreenOffEnabler? It works sweet with my N5. Paired with the Knock Code module with lines and taps hidden, the lock screen is completely blank. Pretty nifty, anyone who would pick this up would have absolutely no clue how to unlock it.

Yes, more or less completely healed after 13 days. Mine has. not. moved. at. all. I'm a bit surprised actually. The guy who did it, did a good job pushing the needle past the final resting place, then pulling back a bit before injecting. This made a nice pocket for the tag to rest in.
Arduino is pretty easy, I had no prior coding experience. You can get finished or almost finished scripts for all kinds of ****. I'll post when its done
Not using my tag with my N5 (yet). I have a ballistic case, which is pretty thick. I can still read it quite consistently but it's not ideal imo. Damn son, blank lockscreen is frisky

Here is a real basic diagram of where mine sits after several months if it's of any help. Black=bone, red = implant

That sounds pretty sweet. What are you using for the knock code? I presume it isn't a stock lockscreen for n5

What're you doing with yours? Since I installed this I'm committed to the technology now lol.

I really only use mine for a few things:
Unlock my phone,
Send links to people quickly,
Unlock doors and pay etc at uni
And party tricks "you know I can link with your phone using just my mind right?"

Mine ended up spot on to yours. Was originally concerned it was encroaching on the bones but no problems here.

Grab Knock Code Xposed module. All it does is change the stock pattern security to four knock boxes like the G3, so set a pattern before enabling it. I like this setup because it's still stock. I don't like aftermarket lock screens, they always feel cheap to me.
At first it'll have 4 sectioned off boxes that flash when you knock them. Hide the grid and the flashing and it's completely invisible to anyone, but you knock it like normal. Long press any box to reset the pattern if you **** up entering it.
This is the slickest setup I've used. Attached is a photo of my lock screen and a photo of the message it gives you after long pressing.

Do you have any info permanently written to your tag? I had to freeze Tags.apk so I didn't get the empty tag message pop up after every unlock, only thing is disabling that affects the the NFC sounds. Wish there was a way to keep vCard info on the tag without it triggering every time on unlock.

Ahh I think that's about right, I've never had any issues with this placement.

NFC LocksreenOffEnabler has the ability to stop the sounds
I have "bad://access/development" permanently written to mine as I use locale with Tasker and this means you don't get the pop up when you scan it.

Freezing Tags.apk in TiBu gets rid of NFC sounds, regardless of the settings in NFC LSOE, weird bug I guess.
I was referring to something else written to the tag, like a vCard or Tasker task, or url. If you have that line written and something else written following it, it'll still launch the second thing, ya?
I wish there was a way to unlock the phone and not have the other info be scanned until scanning the tag again with the phone unlocked.

Not in this case the bad://access/development command means your tag will only work with locale and Tasker. So anything else written to it would not do anything
Your best bet for this feature would be to drop a message on the support thread for NFC LocksreenOffEnabler. I bet it could be an added feature or another solution could be found easily

I'll drop a question there myself
I asked for you, I'll post here if I get a reply

Ya, thanks. I was subscribed to that thread anyways. Someone did ask a similar question before I think, but it never got answered. I may ask too, the more the merrier.
Have you checked aliexpress? There are electronic deadbolts on there. However, I was thinking about all this recently, and I really think the best and most versatile solution for our implants would be Z-wave.
Don't know if you're familiar with it, but Z-Wave is a home automation protocol. Right now, this (https://benext.eu/shop/product_info.php?products_id=44) is the only RFID reader that's Z-Wave compatible, and it's ugly as ****.
You can make a little Rasberry Pi Z-Wave compatible with the RaZberry module. I don't know how to work with any of that stuff. If we were able to make a Z-Wave compatible RFID/NFC card reader, that would open us up to just about anything imaginable. That way, you could set up a reader built into the wall outside that would trigger a Z-Wave deadbolt to open the door, stick another reader by your light to turn on/off lights, one for the coffee maker, etc, etc, etc.
This seems so much better than making a dedicated system for every single thing you want the tag to work with.

I don't follow, why would I want a reader next to my light switch so I could turn my lights on etc. Surely I could just use the switch. Etc I don't see an advantage to these things apart from the deadbolt
