Since many NFC’s can be programmed to trigger a http call, you could probably just call into the Device or Scene that you want to trigger that way.

For example to run a scene:
http://ip_address:3480/data_request?id=action&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HomeAutomationGateway1&action=RunScene&SceneNum=

update IP_address and appropriately

Or to toggle a switch:
http://ip_address:3480/data_request?id=action&output_format=xml&DeviceNum=&serviceId=urn:micasaverde-com:serviceId:HaDevice1&action=ToggleState
