      Hi Hek,
      Thanks for sharing. It looks like a useful addition to my openhab system.
      Can you tell me if it is possible to WRITE to the cards and tags? Some of them are being sold as 'white' cards. I am worried I have to program the tags myself.

        Yes, but you would need a re-writable tag. Here's an example:

          Thanks for quick reply. Is your example Mifare One S51 readonly?

                I think this needs an update... The declaration is not complete for all users I think!

                  @miro could you describe the problem you are experiencing and what you expected to happen?

                    I have followed the guide here (https://www.mysensors.org/build/rfid) to the letter. Yes, it could be me that have problems but this isn´t so hard project. Feels like something is missing?

                    In the description it says:

                    "To find out the unique ID of your tag just run the example while looking at serial monitor. Hold tag in front of reader and your identifier should pop up."

                    This I did, but the monitor don`t show anything, just this

                    Starting sensor (RNNNA-, 2.0.0)
                    TSM:INIT

                    ... And yes, I have switched the little pin to I2C on my PN532 RFID reader.

                      @miro the node is unable to connect to your gateway. What type of gateway are you using? Could you post the debug log from the gateway?

                        @mfalkvidd I`m using nano as serial GW. I didn´t have any trouble with GW for a long time now.

                        0;255;3;0;9;Starting gateway (RNNGA-, 2.0.0)
                        0;255;3;0;9;TSM:INIT
                        0;255;3;0;9;TSM:RADIO:OK
                        0;255;3;0;9;TSM:GW MODE
                        0;255;3;0;9;TSM:READY
                        0;255;3;0;14;Gateway startup complete.
                        0;255;0;0;18;2.0.0
                        0;255;3;0;9;No registration required
                        0;255;3;0;9;Init complete, id=0, parent=0, distance=0, registration=1
                        

                        Should I install some XML in my vera edge to get this sensor to work?
                        If I read the guide for this I will take it as GW has nothing to do with RFID until I have set the key code for the tags in the scetch and after that I implement the sensor to my vera?

                                On the bright side, the relay attached to arduino opens and closes as i present RFID tag in front of reader... :)

                                Unfortunately i don't get the lock status (locked or unlocked) in PaperUI nor openHab for iOS...
                                I don't get "open" or "closed" status as i do with motion sensor. I also don't get any change to the door icon (door_closed and door_opened)

                                Thanks a lot for your help :)

                                Best Regards,

                                  @miro the node is unable to connect to your gateway. What type of gateway are you using? Could you post the debug log from the gateway?

                                  @miro said in 💬 RFID Lock Sensor:

                                  @mfalkvidd

                                  I have followed the guide here (https://www.mysensors.org/build/rfid) to the letter. Yes, it could be me that have problems but this isn´t so hard project. Feels like something is missing?

                                  In the description it says:

                                  "To find out the unique ID of your tag just run the example while looking at serial monitor. Hold tag in front of reader and your identifier should pop up."

                                  This I did, but the monitor don`t show anything, just this

                                  Starting sensor (RNNNA-, 2.0.0)

                                  I had the same question as @miro however my node is communicating and connected to the gateway correctly.
                                  I only see the mysensors radio debug info on the serial monitor, and no application serial prints eg (Serial.print("Couldn't find PN53x board");) doesn't show up in the serial monitor at all.
                                  Neither does "Found NFC chip" or anything else in the main code...
                                  My radio is working and as I said no errors in the radio debug.
                                  Is the main application even running?
                                  I cannot get it to scan a card at all.

                                  However if I comment out the <MySensors.h> library along with its dependencies in the main program, it works and I can scan cards, and get the Uid from them...

                                  Any clues?
                                  Thanks.

                                    Hi.

                                    Started using mysensors with RFID readers.
                                    I have a suggestion by I am bad code programmer.

                                    Is better to save the RFID tag key in the EPROM approved.
                                    And If you want to add a key/tag with special tag which add new or remove tag.

                                    What do you think?

                                        Is driving me crazy ... I have Downloaded the zip file and extracted the 4 folders(PN532, PN532_SPI, PN532_I2C and PN532_HSU) into Arduino's libraries.
                                        Same error.
                                        I've tried adding the library as .zip : it says not a valid library file
                                        what could be the problem ?

                                          Nevermind, I placed the PN532 related folders into the C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries folder and now it works.
                                          Before, I placed them into the \libraries folder where all my sketches are which does not work for this libary .
