I just got some NFC tags and set one up, works great! My only question is, does enabling things with NFC, prevent Smart Actions from enabling/disabling features?

For example, the NFC tag I made is for car mode, it turns on bluetooth, turns off wi-fi, and turns on vehicle mode. I also have a SmartAction for when I'm at home that turns on wi-fi. I tested the NFC at home, and then I couldn't get the vehicle mode app to close (which meant I couldn't get to the apps menu or homescreens) and had to restart my phone. Does anyone know if I use the NFC tag to turn on the car mode stuff when away from home, when I get home will the SmartAction take over and change my settings?

I know I can make another NFC that would put the phone in the right mode for home, but I have more location based SmartActions than NFC tags I want to make (home, work, family members' houses, bars I go to that have wi-fi that never works, etc)
 
Nfc = near field communications, NFC tags are little programmable chips that you can tap your phone to. You can program them to do things like turn on/off network connections, open apps, configure Wi-Fi networks, etc. Similar to what you can configure smart actions to do.

It does look like smart actions will still work in case anyone else was wondering.
