I'm also interested in smart locks that could work with a web app, but unfortunately I did not find anything. In my case, I was looking for a system for an apartment complex that would support temporary narrowly scoped keys/credentials. Ideally, it would allow residents to send guests and delivery/couriers/hired help links containing a signed token/key so that the web app could extract from the URL and then present it to the reader/door. As of now, specification describes only exchange of data written in NDEF: > The current scope of this specification is NDEF. > > Low-level I/O operations (e.g. ISO-DEP, NFC-A/B, NFC-F) and Host-based Card Emulation (HCE) are not supported within the current scope. It's possible to wrap arbitrary data in NDEF just to push it via the API and then unwrap it on the door and mobile device, but it's uncanny. One would have to design the system (e.g., the lock) explicitly to support data exchange in NDEF, which means the already deployed devices can't interact via this API. FYI, there is interest in enabling lower level I/O (see #238), may be even support NFC Forum standards and HCE and Mifare cards. -- GitHub Notification of comment by bershanskiy Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/web-nfc/issues/598#issuecomment-694553174 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
