I’m sure I’m not the only person who struggles with their medication. I will stare at my bottle for hours trying to remember if I took it. Since I use a long release medication my day is shot if I don’t take it before 10am.

I have a smart things instance in my home for automation and put an nfc tag on my bottle cap. If I don’t scan it by 8am home assistant reminds to take my medication me every half hour until 10:30am.

The sweet part is you don’t even need home assistant. You could setup a similar task using nfc tasks or a similar phone app. Plus it’s a cheap way to remember. You can by NFC tags at dirt cheap prices!

tl;dr I’m using an nfc task to silence reminders on my phone

    I use the Medication section in the Health app on iOS to remember if I took my injections or not. I’m sure there’s alternatives on Android if that’s what you have. It helped me a lot.
