I’m sure I’m not the only person who struggles with their medication. I will stare at my bottle for hours trying to remember if I took it. Since I use a long release medication my day is shot if I don’t take it before 10am.

I have a smart things instance in my home for automation and put an nfc tag on my bottle cap. If I don’t scan it by 8am home assistant reminds to take my medication me every half hour until 10:30am.

The sweet part is you don’t even need home assistant. You could setup a similar task using nfc tasks or a similar phone app. Plus it’s a cheap way to remember. You can by NFC tags at dirt cheap prices!

tl;dr I’m using an nfc task to silence reminders on my phone

    I was thinking about that solution too. I may give it a try since I do miss it from time to time though. The price has always kept me from trying the digital cap though. That’s just me being cheap and nerdy though.

      I was going to say they are really inexpensive, but I just had a look and the current prices are at least double what I paid. I wish I’d stocked up.
