NFC ReTAG PRO+ By Bad Access Development

This is a Locale Plug-in. For it to work you will have to have Locale or Tasker already installed on your device.
How you use it:
1. Select the plugin in Locale.
2. Scan a NFC-enabled tag of some kind.
3. Chose actions that should fire when tag is scanned.
Please note that your screen will have to be on for the phone to be able to scan NFC-tags. This is a limit in the Android system and can not, at the moment, be changed.
The plugin reads the Unique Identifier of a NFC-enabled tag. This means that you will not need to write any data to the tag. Instead you can use any NFC-enabled card. Such as commuter cards, access card or whatever you have lying around. These cards can then be linked to trigger any other setting or action that is available from within Locale or Tasker.
One user scenario can be that you place a NFC-tag in your car. Once the tag is scanned it could enable bluetooth and start the navigation app of your choice.
It supports the following standards: Sony SmartTags, MifareClassic, MifareUltralight, ISO14443-4, ISO14443-3A, ISO14443-3B, JIS6319-4, ISO15693.
If you have conflicts with other NFC-applications such as the default Tags-app you can do the following:
If you have a Ice Cream Sandwich phone - System Settings->Apps->ALL->Tags->Disable
If you have a Gingerbread phone you will have to write a unique tag for this plugin. To do this follow this guide http://goo.gl/uZmYv
If you have trouble finding the plugin in Tasker, this is where you should find it. Create a Profile -> State -> Plugin -> Locale NFC Plugin.
If you have any questions or feedback feel free to give me a tweet or send me an e-mail.
The application have been tested on Galaxy Nexus, Samsung GalaxyS2 LTE, Asus Nexus 7 and LG Nexus 4.

Tasker does not read the plugin unfortunately, thus leaving this plugin completely useless for me. Please fix, or refund.

Exactly what I was after, and works a treat. While not exactly obvious, if you want a single task run when the tag is scanned (versus the default behaviour), you need to tick "Allow repetitive scan". It's the one issue (minor, as long as you're aware of

I wish it could distinguish tags by the URL they contain rather than just one URL (bad://access/development)

Something doesn't work right. Only works part of the time.

Great plugin that works as advertised. Scan a tag to activate a tasker state, scan another tag to deactivate the state. (Scanning the same tag to "toggle" will be in a future update.) Tags do not need to be programmed (which is awesome), the plugin just k
