[ST Edge] SmartThings MyQ Edge (Obsolete)

Smartthings itself does not have a built-in NFC feature. Apple HomeKit, however, does, so, if you set up a HomeKit home, you can then read an NFC tag and do something with that. I find the easiest thing is to use a Meross Smart plug or power strip as a go-between between homekit and SmartThings, since the Meross is visible to both platforms at the same time. And it ends up being a pretty inexpensive way to do it.
