I have an NFC dot on the doorframe and unlock my door by holding my phone up to it. It's definitely slower than using the keypad, and probably slower than getting out a key, but it's way more satisfying than either.

This is really cool, I would love to do this. Is this a particular device?
Any NFC sticker should work. I used a non-writable one, with an iOS shortcut that calls the "unlock" URL, since I don't use HomeKit.

For things that aren't security-related like a light, you can use a writable one, and write the URL to the dot so that anyone's phone will be able to turn the light on/off from the sticker.

I use home assistant with a set of Yale Zigbee locks but really any lock that can integrate to HA will do the trick
