Roomskills.com The product Roomskills Tag

The full background NFC Functionality is available on the models Xs, Xs Max, Xr, 11, 11 Pro and newer. The iPhone models iPhone 7 / 7 Plus / 8 / 8 Plus and X do not support 'NFC backfground reading' and need to use the 'NFC Reader' app to open and use a tag. We have good experiences with the App 'NFC for iPhone' (to the App Store). Older iPhone models do not support the use of NFC by apps.

With the following steps you setup your Roomskills Tag on an iPhone:

1. The app 'NFC for iPhone' can be used very well on an iPhone to programm an NFC tag and therefore we download the app onto our iPhone.
2. Then we open the app which we want to store on the iPhone. This can be Spotify for example. In the Spotify App we open the playlist we want to start and tap on 'Share' and 'copy'. Now the link to the playlist is in the clipboard on the iPhone. If you want to activate a function on Roomskills, lets say start a music favorite we go in Roomskills to the music favorite and open the details page of the favorite. On the details page we activate the 'Direct URL (QR/NFC Connect)' function by clicking on 'Activate'. Then we copy the link by clicking on the button open_in_browser next to the URL and now the link is stored in the clipboard of the iPhone.
3. Now we open the app ‚NFC for iPhone‘ and select the function 'Write'
4. Then we select 'Weblink‘ as data set.
5. Then we tap on the field of the URL and select 'Paste' to copy the stored content of the clipbard to the text field. Then we tap on ‚Save‘ and then on 'Write' to start the writing procedure.
6. Now we move the upper part of the iPhone to the Roomskills Tag to write the data onto the tag. The we get the success message, that writing was successful.
7. That was it – best we move our iPhone once to the tag to see if everything worked..
