I live in an apartment building and I'd like to be able to use my phone as my RFID tag.

I want to place my phone against the reader (and press a shortcut from the homescreen if I need to) and allow the phone to emit the same data that is stored in my keytag in order to access my building.

Is this doable?

Apologies if I'm naive.

Automate doesn't support it, and it would likely not work anyways since the tag is likely "encrypted" somehow.

After 6 years, it's this doable? I wonder the same as op and couldn't find the right block.

No, i've tried to implement it, but it's not possible, basically Google Pay is overriding everything.

:( Even if one doesn't use Google Pay? (Personally, I don't even have it). 
+A bit of an off topic, but - is it possible to listen to data exchanged in NFC communication? (I have a device that gets programmed via NFC by an Android app, but the app is awful and coarse, I'd like to use Automate for that. But all I achieved so far is scan the device and read it's response using Automate "NFC scanned" block).

Not possible.
