Galaxy S4 and BL control / NFC tags

[meden199]

I would like to start to use BLControl with my S4 and Homeseer.

Every time I write a new tag, my Samsung shows up with the message
"New tag registerd"
Empty tag

This is is message from my S4 and not from BLcontrol.
Has anyone a S4 working with BLcontrol and can help me solving this problem?

Not a direct answer but I hope it helps...I don't use BLControl to write my tags, never had much luck writing to tags with it. I use NFC Tools to write the tags.

After writing tags with NFC Tools, I've never had a problem reading them with BLControl and my S5. Works great.

I have installed NFC tools.
How do you create the link to the event or device?

No problem.

In NFC Tools select 'write', '+ Add a Record', 'Text' - your text ex. Welcome Home! - Then write it to the tag.

In BLControl, go to 'Actions', add a new action. ex. 'Name'=Welcome Home 'event'=Backdoor unlock

In BLControl, go to 'NFC Tags', add new. ex. 'NFC Tag'=Welcome Home! 'Location'=BLControl and then select the 'action'=Backdoor unlock

Now when you swipe the tag with your phone the backdoor will unlock!

Thanks.

Now my S4 is working fine with NFC and homeseer.
