+Wiegand keypad and tag reader
+=============================
+
+.. seo::
+    :description: Wiegand-standard key input and card/tag reader panel
+    :image: wiegand.jpg
+
+The ``wiegand`` component allows you to integrate Wiegand-standard key 
+input and card or tag reader panels in Home Assistant.
+
+.. figure:: ../images/wiegand.jpg
+    :align: center
+
+    S20-ID keypad and tag reader
+
+
+.. note::
+
+    Some keypads are preconfigured by the factory to act as Wiegand input 
+    devices. In order to work with this component, they may need to 
+    be reconfigured to act as *Wiegand 26 output* or *Wiegand 34 output* 
+    devices.
+
+
+Component
+---------
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    # Example configuration entry
+    wiegand:
+      - id: mykeypad
+        d0: GPIO5
+        d1: GPIO4
+        on_key:
+          - lambda: ESP_LOGI("KEY", "received key %d", x);
+        on_tag:
+          - lambda: ESP_LOGI("TAG", "received tag %s", x.c_str());
+        on_raw:
+          - lambda: ESP_LOGI("RAW", "received raw %d bits, value %llx", bits, value);
+
+
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Set the ID of this device for use in lambdas.
+- **d0** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin where the ``D0`` output 
+  of the Wiegand's interface connects.
+- **d1** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin where the ``D1`` output 
+  of the Wiegand's interface connects.
+
+
+Automations:
+------------
+
+- **on_key** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform 
+  when a key has been pressed on the pad. The key is in a variable called ``x``.
+- **on_tag** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform 
+  when a Wiegand-compatible card or a tag has been read by the device. The tag code is 
+  in a variable called ``x``.
+- **on_raw** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform
+  for any data sent by the device. The value is in a variable called ``value``, the number of
+  bits is in a variable called ``bits``.  Note that this will include parity bits as well and
+  no parity checking is done.
+
+
+.. note::
+
+    Automatic handling of multiple keys (e.g. PIN code entry) is possible with the 
+    the :ref:`Key Collector <key_collector>` component.
