Gotcha. I would suggest updating the feature specifications to explain the limitation you can’t use it to read any tag. Right now it just says NFC-A radio, but I would suggest Acts as a passive NFC tag that can transfer data to a mobile app or something like that. I realize that is a different department so the note is for others listening.
Still very useful to allow a device administrator to the read the state of sensors with a mobile phone, etc. It just isn’t possible to know if anyone has visited the device…like security guards or students walking to school in my case.
I will be pursuing integrating an active NFC tag reader into the mesh products that can read a passive NFC Type 2 tag. Something like Solo Mifare for RFID. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
It’s worth noting I have clarified my use case with Particle engineers multiple times since last summer which led me here to continue the investigation since nobody could give an exact answer. Thanks @eugene0501 for flushing out the reality so I can focus on a solution that will work.
Thanks,
