The Smart IO module setup and model types can also be read back by a simple tap of the device. It allows setup and selection of the communications type, with a choice between BACnet MS/TP or Modbus, as well as communications addressing, baud rate, parity settings and quick setup of the flexible universal inputs. The commissioning process is extremely quick, simple, and flexible with the Commissioning App. As NFC transmissions are short range, devices only need to be within a few centimeters of each other and a connection is established instantaneous. This NFC technology already is in contactless cards and allows us to make payments with our mobile phones. Hopefully things will improve once NFC support arrives in the coming months.NFC stands for Near Field Communication, a short-range wireless technology which allows users to exchange digital content and connect devices with a touch. Google Titan Security Key works brilliantly with desktop browsers, but the mobile implementation so far seems to be lacking. The Bluetooth key was actually detected this time, and we got as far as entering the PIN (a six-digit number printed on the back of the key), but the process then ground to a halt and the key refused to connect

The Twitter app apparently doesn’t support security keys, so we tried logging in through a browser. We were able to set up the key to protect our Twitter account on a desktop, but again ran into trouble on mobile. It’s not yet possible to use the NFC capability with an Android device, so we weren't able to try this as an alternative, but Google says the feature will be coming later this year. My colleagues at Tom’s Hardware (opens in new tab) had similar trouble getting it to connect to an iPhone. Unfortunately, we ran into difficulty with the Bluetooth key on our Android phone despite being in pairing mode, the key simply couldn’t be found.
