Can I do this?
-
Hi all-
I always wanted to be able to use my phone to open doors and as a payment device. However, sometimes my phone would be dead or I simply didn't have it with me. I recently got married and realized that I ALWAYS have my wedding band on. Is there a way to use the NFCring (or even buy a sticker to add to my existing ring) that does the following:
-Unlock my phone
-Open my apartment gate (AWID tag)
-Open my door at work (accessed with IDENTIVE card)
-Replicates my credit card for paymentI don't know much about NFC/RFID technology, but I hope what I'm trying to do is out there.
Thanks in advance!

Howdy - you can do all these things if the protocols used with the apartment gate and work door are the same as those used by the ring. This isn't always possible as some versions of wireless card use different frequencies for communication, and so you're going to have to look into it a little yourself.
As things stand, you can get a compatible apartment door lock and you can unlock your phone with the 2016 ring which doesn't do payments. At the moment I'm not able to say whether the new payment ring will allow these things because I haven't had one for testing.
Perhaps @johnyma22 can weigh in on this.
I don't think that you'll be able to use the new payment ring for the gate or the work door, but I could be completely wrong on this.
