How-To: Program NFC Tags/Stickers For Automations In Hubitat

@keithandrewowen, yes, you are correct that anyone with a reader can look at the tasks that are being performed simply by reading the tag. One of many solutions in NFC Tools Pro is to convert the steps/task into a profile and write the profile to the tag/sticker, now when someone reads the tag all they see is the profile name which may only have meaning to the person creating the tag.

The only caveat is the person reading the tag must also have an app titled NFC Tasks on their phone or tablet.
I'll see if I can come up or a member of this community with a solution that doesn't include adding an additional app and update the article.

For now, I have updated the guide to include steps to hide the tasks from prying eye and made note of the additional app.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm sure other users will appreciate it as well.
