Verified summary

Physical-first automation concept using NFC and weight-sensing Pucks to trigger contextual software or smart-home actions.

Problem or experiment question

Can physical objects with NFC and weight state become reliable triggers for contextual digital actions?

What was actually built

  • Proposed NFC interaction and weight-sensing object state model
  • Conceptual integrations with Slack, Spotify, Home Assistant, and Notion
  • Proposed ESP32-S3 and PN532-class hardware with PWA direction

Important technical decisions

  • Weight plus NFC combines object identity with placement context
  • Physical-first interaction chosen over screen-first configuration
  • Multiple integration targets explored at concept stage

Architecture or workflow

  • Physical Puck detects presence and weight state
  • Gateway translates object context into proposed service actions
  • PWA proposed for configuration and status

Known limitations

  • Implementation evidence is limited; most behavior appears conceptual
  • Proposed integrations are not verified as working
  • Feasibility discussion may exceed built functionality
