Description
This is a Locale Plug-in. For it to work you will have to have Locale or Tasker already installed on your device.How you use it:1. Select the plugin in Locale.2. Scan a NFC-enabled tag of some kind.3. Chose actions that should fire when tag is scanned.Please note that your screen will have to be on for the phone to be able to scan NFC-tags. This is a limit in the Android system and can not, at the moment, be changed.Please also note that at the moment the plugin cant detect when you remove your phone from a tag.The plugin reads the Unique Identifier of a NFC-enabled tag. This means that you will not need to write any data to the tag. Instead you can use any NFC-enabled card. Such as commuter cards, access card or whatever you have lying around. These cards can then be linked to trigger any other setting or action that is available from within Locale or Tasker.One user scenario can be that you place a NFC-tag in your car. Once the tag is scanned it could enable bluetooth and start the navigation app of your choice.It supports the following standards: Sony SmartTags, MifareClassic, MifareUltralight, ISO14443-4, ISO14443-3A, ISO14443-3B, JIS6319-4, ISO15693.If you have conflicts with other NFC-applications such as the default Tags-app you can do the following:If you have a Ice Cream Sandwich phone - System Settings->Apps->ALL->Tags->DisableIf you have a Gingerbread phone you will have to write a unique tag for this plugin. To do this follow this guide http://goo.gl/uZmYvIf you have trouble finding the plugin in Tasker, this is where you should find it. Create a Profile -> State -> Plugin -> Locale NFC Plugin.If you have any questions or feedback feel free to give me a tweet or send me an e-mail.The application have been tested on Galaxy Nexus, Samsung GalaxyS2 LTE, Asus Nexus 7 and LG Nexus 4.*Added support for Sony SmartTags.*Added German locale.*Fixed a bug where empty tags wasnt detectable on Gingerbread phones.*Conflicts with other NFC-apps can now be resolved by following this Google+ post http://goo.gl/uZmYv*Minor changes to some locale strings.

I wish you can use root to allow NFC to be used when screen is off as well as when the device is in airplane mode.
NFC activated profiles
Allow repetitive doesn't show up on my screen... it is too small? gets cut off.
I tried using 'Tasker URL Launcher', but it doesn't seem to work on Jelly Bean. And 'NFC ReTag' is powerful, but seems an over-the-top way to launch a Tasker task (as a whole other app + service, it likely consumes more resources than just this Tasker plugin, but this is an assumption on my part). 'Locale NFC Plugin' however, seems the best way to launch Tasker tasks from NFC. You can have a state enabled upon the scan of one tag, and that state will be enabled until another tag is scanned (handy for turning off your keyguard at home). Alternatively, selecting the "Allow repetitive scan" option turns the 'State' into an 'Event' (ie it will start and exit the Tasker profile on the one scan), which means that you can have a task re-run each time you scan that tag. I love it.
Would like repetitive tag selection to be the default option.
Doesn't really work for me. Tried using a tag to toggle wifi, car mode, and bluetooth with no success. Turns them on but a second scan won't turn them off. "Allow repetitive" turns them on for only a second.NFC ReTag works better for this.
