DIY RFID reader or RFID keypad using ESP-RFID on esp8266 and MQTT for Home Network integration

[@getik123]

Clean, great demonstration

[@OneMarcFifty]

Thank you Sir ! Guys, Ömer is the maintainer of the ESP-RFID project on Github !!!! github.com/esprfid/esp-rfid

[@Crakkovia]

Nice and diactic video, Thank you!

[@OneMarcFifty]

Glad you liked it!

[@TecSanento]

I might need to recompile it as Ethernet variant for esp32 POE boards :D

[@OneMarcFifty]

Great idea, let us know how it goes ;-)

Hello and thank you for the awesome video but i have a question: I'm currently trying to replicate this kind of project but I'm using a different Keypad, one of that chinese ones standalone key + rfid combo readers (125 khz) wich you can find really cheap on Aliexpress. The problem is that while i can successfully see data coming to the log (through Wiegand operation) the keys don't seem to be decoded correctly. For instance, if I press, let's say "1234" combination followed by "#", on the log I'm going to have a separate entry for the first digit, then another one with a sequence of numbers, finally another one with number "13" for the # button. What I'm seeing in the log seems to me it being just some kind of decimal representation of what I'm dialing on the keypad but not the proper behaviour I would expect visible in your video. No problem with RFID tags, they get validated too, but still they appear in decimal not HEX, but maybe that's how they're supposed to appear... Is there some wrong configuration in ESP-RFID or is it a Keypad related problem? how could I solve it? Thank you very much for your help ; )

Ahoi! I have watched this video more times than I can count, and I have some questions. At both 2:27 and 7:32 the Wiegand D0 and D1 seem to be directly connected to the GPIO-4 and 5 Pins. You then explain to protect from the higher voltage a Zener Diode and a Pull-Up resistor should be used (6:42). This would force the GPIO 4 and 5 to be default high (3.3v) except when D0 and D1 have traffic, and then they would go low (0v). How, then, does this seem to be working with the Wiegand D0 & D1 directly connected?

[@OneMarcFifty]

Hi Baden, in fact you should not use a zener diode but a normal diode to protect it. The diode put in a way that it would only let through voltages lower than 3.3V, i.e. whenever the signal goes to ground. In other words, the GPIO will always be on 3.3V unless the Wiegand pull it to ground. It does work without the diode and pull up because the ESP 8266 IOs are 5V tolerant, it would interpret 5V as a high and 0V as a low. But as I say, things can go wrong if for example the ground wire gets cut.

I tried to replicate this using wiegand reader available at my region, it works like yours (7:20) for the rfid, but for the pin whenever i input number on the pad the esp board just recive 1 digit only. I could input more than 1 digit

[@OneMarcFifty]

Hi, which release of esp-rfid are you using ? Might be worth opening a discussion on the esp-rfid github repo...

[@ilducedimas]

You rock

[@OneMarcFifty]

Thank you very much ;-)

[@trubbisan]

Top! Thank you! Do you think its possible to use a arduino with LAN? Circuit ist no problem. Is the code compatible?

[@OneMarcFifty]

I did add a couple of ESP specific stuff in the code when I wrote the log file analysis bit for the project (I committed under the name of Frenchie71) - plus the whole IO pins would need to be checked of course. You would need to check the libraries for compatibility as well. It _could_ work ;-)

[@jasminkeskic]

Great video, everything works fine for me. The only thing that doesn't work for me is sending an SMS via MQTT protocol. I use a mosquitto broker, I have noticed that nothing comes from esp-rfid. Can you ever record a video of how to set up MQTT. Greetings

[@OneMarcFifty]

Hi Jasmin, I can definitely do that - would you be looking into setting up MQTT on premises (i.e. run it at home) or rather use a cloud based service ? MQTT can be set up quite easily with OpenWrt for example or on a raspberry Pi.

[@jasminkeskic]

@@OneMarcFifty Thanks for the reply, Because I don't have a Raspberry Pi I don't think it would be easier for me to set up via OpenWrt or MQTT Cloud based service. Choose what is easier for you ... :-) Anyway thank you very much.

[@temprockify]

since v1.3.1 the mqtt messages goes to topic esprfid/send (in case you put "esprfid"), hope u can hear messages from your esprfid now

[@harekrishnaviralnewsindia131]

Very nice video

[@OneMarcFifty]

Thank you

[@francescomengoni7696]

If the keypad has also NFC, could i register and open with a smartphone that has nfc?

[@OneMarcFifty]

That should work as long as the reader supports the Wiegand protocol. Worst case, if the tag length etc. are different, you can modify the software as it is open source ;-)

[@Jon-Sen]

Can I use multiple rfid tags to activate a multiple different relay?

[@OneMarcFifty]

Yes you can - I am doing this with my two garage doors

[@amusementnl]

how to connect ESP-rfid with my router. it doesn't work if i used client

[@OneMarcFifty]

The device spawns a Wifi with the SSID ESP_something. First you need to connect a laptop/pc to that Wifi, then open the 192.168.4.1 page from where you can then set the SSID/Password parameters for your "real" Wifi.

[@Pur3Cat]

would it be possible to use the esp32 instead of the esp8266?

[@OneMarcFifty]

Sure, that should work

[@Pur3Cat]

@@OneMarcFifty Thanks for the quick response! i asked because in the github depository they state esp32 doesnt work at this point. so i want to make sure before ordering really

[@OneMarcFifty]

@@Pur3Cat Can you point me to the link where they say it doesn't work please ? I'd like to double check.

[@Pur3Cat]

in the readme file -> what you will need -> hardware

[@OneMarcFifty]

@@Pur3Cat I have asked Ömer and will come back to you as soon as I have a reply.

Hello what model keypad/reader you use ?

[@OneMarcFifty]

Hi, I am using a Gelikom Reader www.gelikom.com/gelikom from a small German firm that specialized on security devices.

[@Lionel_Walder]

open the case, bridge the relay, entry

[@OneMarcFifty]

No. This is not correct. Watch the video. The keyboard is used as a wiegand reader. Control happens inside the house.

[@rien3033]

with a D1 mini it doesn't work.. no matter how good I plug it in, nothing happens..

[@rien3033]

Do you know how to change the bits of the wiegand ?

[@OneMarcFifty]

You mean change the pins ? You can do that in the admin web page

[@rien3033]

@@OneMarcFifty I think I understood. I need wiegand 26. But we can not change it directly on the software?

Ja - Man kann leider bei KZbin nicht mehrere Audiospuren in einem Video abspeichern. Ich habe daher lediglich die Beschreibungen und die Untertitel übersetzt
