Running Automations with Magik Prints

Step 1
Prepare Your Magik Print

Place your Magik Print in a convenient location, such as near your front door or bedside table.

Step 2 for iPhone
Create an Automation

• Open the Shortcuts app and choose “Automation”
• Select “New Automation”
• Tap on “NFC” and choose “Run Immediately”
• Tap “Scan” to scan your Magik Print
• Hold your Magik Print near the phone to scan it
• Name the scanned Magik Print and choose “Next”
• Choose which action to run every time you scan the Magik Print

Step 2 for Android
Create a Task

• Download and install the free apps NFC Tools and NFC Tasks from the Google Play Store. You need both.
• Open NFC Tools and tap “Tasks”
• Tap “Add a Task”
• You can choose from a long list of possible actions and you may need to grant proper permissions for each
• In this example, we are setting the phone to “Mute” when the Magik Print is tapped with the phone
• Tap “Ok” and then tap “Write”
• Tap the Magik Print with your phone to write

Step 3
Test your Automation

Hold your smartphone near the Magik Print to trigger the NFC tag. Your automation should run.

Fine-tune your automation settings and explore additional actions you can add to streamline your daily routines and enhance your smart home experience.

Consider integrating multiple Magik Prints throughout your home to control various devices and actions with ease.

Pro Tip
Clear the default URL embed into the chip

By default, your Magik Print’s NFC chip is encoded with the URL of that specific Magik Print. You can tap it and print copies easily.

While this does not prevent you from setting up and running any automations, it might be inconvenient to have the URL notification pop up every time you tap the Magik Print to trigger an automation.

Use the app NFC Tools, both on iOS and Android, to clear the default URL.

• Open the NFC Tools app
• Select “Other”
• Select “Erase tag”
• Tap the Magik Print
• You are done!
