The ``rdm6300`` binary sensor platform lets you track if an NFC/RFID tag with a given
unique id (``uid``) is currently being detected by the RDM6300 or not.

See :doc:`/esphomeyaml/components/rdm6300` for instructions for setting up the connection to the RDM6300.

.. code:: yaml

    # Example configuration entry
    uart:
      rx_pin: D0
      baud_rate: 9600

    rdm6300:

    binary_sensor:
      - platform: rdm6300
        uid: 7616525
        name: "RDM6300 NFC Tag"

Configuration variables:
------------------------

- **uid** (**Required**, integer): The unique ID of the NFC/RFID tag.
- **name** (**Required**, string): The name of the binary sensor.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID used for code generation.
- All other options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>` and :ref:`MQTT Component <config-mqtt-component>`.

Setting Up Tags
---------------

To set up binary sensors for specific NFC tags you first have to know their unique IDs. To obtain this
id, first set up a simple RDM6300 configuration without any binary sensors like above.

When your code is running and you approach the RDM6300 with an NFC Tag, you should see a message like this:

.. code::

    Found new tag with ID '7616525'

Then copy this id and create a ``binary_sensor`` entry as in the configuration example. Repeat this process for
each tag.
