I have no garage door opener so I added a tag in my car to open the smart garage without having to open the app and fiddle with things.
I added a tag to our light switch that turns on our bedroom lamp (softer, more pleasant light at night).
I added a door tag to unlock the door (no information contained on the tag so nobody can break in).
I added a tag that pauses an automation at night so my stair lights don't come on with motion sensing.

This is literally just the tip of the iceberg. I think of a new one every couple hours. Anyone have any other cool ones to share?

I have one inconspicuously hidden under a sticker that will unlock one of my smart locks. Needing to unlock my phone is what prevents me from using it that often, though.

It is fun to use it when friends/family are around, and see them go "Whaaaat?!"
