G+_Christophe Vandingelen Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Hi everyone, I have a question about coding (any language, but preferring c#). Is it possible to, when I get home and tap a nfc chip or my smartphone comes into my wifi for example, to check that on the pc? What I mean is for example: I get home, my computer notices me and says hi or starts my favorite program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Anything is possible. You just need a bit of planning. Just as somewhere to start, do you know which NFC reader you're going to use, and what it will be hooked up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lee Crocker Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I think Wi-Fi is the better option here. An app like Tasker on your phone can be set up to perform an action when connected to your home network, say, loading a website. That could be a private intranet served by your PC, which would be thereby notified. Setting up an internal web server isn't hard, but very OS-specific.

G+_Christophe Vandingelen Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 +Lee Crocker I already have Tasker on my phone, I would know how to open a website when I'm in my wifi on the phone, but how do I do that on the pc? Ps:it's all windows 8.1 here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Lee Crocker Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 You'd run a web server on the PC which would be the website opened on the phone. How best to install a web server on Windows you'll have to ask someone else. I don't use Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Benjamin Breüner Frost Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 i use xampp when setting up web servers. should not be to difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Nate Follmer Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Like Ben said, Xampp is probably going to be the fastest way to get a server up and running with little to no experience setting up a server (real easy with Xampp). Keep it simple then and just have the "website" be the internal IP address of the server, no need to mess with making pretty URL's. What you do after that really depends on what exactly you want to happen. I'd make my printer print my name 1,000 times every time I come home, but that's just me.
