   Just noticed the NFC settings in Home Assistant.

   Could I hook up a media player this way that my toddler-age daughter could use? 🤔

     @pfefferle I have a Phoniebox built for my now-deceased grandmother that I could salvage maybe. Thought we'd need to wait for my daughter to be more careful with tech like that first. But a detached NFC reader would solve that

     @ctietze I use an ESP32 connected over WiFi for that: https://github.com/adonno/tagreader

     And I build some wood figures with nfc tags on the bottom, that my kids painted, to match the audio plays, they should trigger (drei fragezeichen, 5 freunde, ...).

     @ctietze and the nfc triggers a streaming service and plays it over DLNA, AirPlay or Spotify Connect on the music player in the same room.

     @pfefferle I love this, that's even better than hooking up a Pi!
