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've been thinking about getting into Bluetooth beacons lately. What kind are you using?

Anything that broadcasts ibeacon format will work flawlessly in HA.
