I setup a tag to turn on / off the WiFi. I wanted it near my door, but didn't want to just stick it where it would be visible, so I tried putting it underneath the light switch cover. Amazingly it works great without any problems.

Where did you get the tags?
i have one hidden in the visor of my car that turns off wifi, turns up the media volume and opens my music player at the same time
I have to essentially touch my phone to them. My One lives in a thin case so maybe without that you wouldn't have to.How close does the phone have to get to the tag to initiate the action?

This is how I use my tags:
1) One by the door when I walk in to cut on WiFi, cut off bluetooth, cut on remote app to turn on the TV.
2) One in the car to cut off wifi, cut on bluetooth, set volume on high.
3) One at my desk at work to cut on wifi, cut off bluetooth, set volume to silent.
4) One in my wallet set to send a text to my bank for a balance when I tap my wallet in my pocket with my phone. I love that...lol
5) Also have an NFC keychain set to text my girlfriend that I'm available to talk if she's available as well everytime I tap it.
All from Tagsfordroid ordered off amazon and I'm using the NFC Tasker App. I'm still trying to build the habit, since this is a new world for me coming from a samsung epic, but it's automating my life quite nicely. I'm digging it!

Having any radio powered on will draw battery life down. My recommendation is to turn everything on that you would ever expect to need on and live like that for a couple days. See how the battery performs. If it's fine, then leave it like that. If it's not making it through the day then start making adjustments.I'm coming from an iPhone where I just left the wifi on all the time. Does it affect battery performance that much on the One to just leave it on?
