NFC and RFID tags

Home Keeper supports linking a task to a Home Assistant tag. When a user scans the tag, Home Keeper completes the task. This is useful for completing a task by scanning a tag placed on the item, without opening the dashboard.

No tag_scanned automation is needed. The Done button continues to work.

The Require tag scan to complete toggle blocks Done on every surface:

panel
card
to-do list
device button
notifications

With the toggle on, a user completes the task only by scanning its tag.

Write the tag once in Home Assistant Settings → Tags, or let the companion app register it on the first scan. Then select the tag in the NFC/RFID tag field of the task form, or type the tag ID.

A scan completion fires the home_keeper_task_completed event with origin: home_keeper_tag_scan. Automations can pass the same origin to home_keeper.complete_task to complete a scan-locked task. See docs/EVENTS.md.
