Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to be able to pair my Friend by using NFC instead of bluetooth discovery.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • A characteristic that sets the NFC value to the device id.
  • An update to the connection page to connect by using NFC instead of scanning for devices.

Connection, reconnection logic should remain the same, but the devices list should simply include the id of the device you NFC to.

I want to take this task, need a little more information, do I also need to add NFC connection functionality to the Friend Firmware or just on Flutter App.
Thanks!

Is there a particular NFC antenna we should use?

Submitted initial PR #610

We can make iOS and Android pairing work using App Links which will pickup on the URL link and pull into app and start pairing, otherwise you end up on website with a lost and found style message and setup instructions. This is how most airtags etc work in the easy way.

We are missing antennas on devices so this is also something that needs to be resolved, but will not need code/pin/overlay change for that.

feat: Add NFC Support #568 (#610)
5c2ebec 
This is a partial resolution to #568 - My thinking is we can use "app
links" in flutter for Google and iOS based on the friend website. This
is how airtags etc all work, it also means you can do a "found" or setup
instructions if it dose not go to the site. Issue is there is no NFC
antenna on V1 or V2, so I will solder one on once Im back in Sydney or
someone has one to test they can give this a spin.

Once reviewed I can close out the additional changes.
