.. _rc522-component:
|
|
|
|
The ``rc522`` component allows you to use RC522 RFID controllers
|
|
(`datasheet <hthttps://www.nxp.com/docs/en/data-sheet/MFRC522.pdff>`__, `Ali Express <https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1260729519.html>`__)
|
|
with ESPHome. ESPHome can read the tag UID from it, every RFID tag comes with a unique
|
|
UID value. Each known tag can be associated to a binary sensor, or you can use the tag information directly.
|
|
See :ref:`rc522-setting_up_tags` for information on how to setup individual binary sensors for this component.
|
|
The RC522 supports SPI, I²C and UART communication protocols, ESPHome can use either SPI or I²C.
|
|
|
|
Component/Hub
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
* If you have a module like the image above, it can only be used in SPI mode (`unless hacked <https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=442750.0>`__)
|
|
and you need to have an :ref:`SPI bus <spi>` in your configuration with both the **miso_pin** and **mosi_pin** set.
|
|
|
|
* If you have a RC522 which communicates via I²C like in the M5 Stack then you need to have an :ref:`I²C <i2c>` bus configured.

Over SPI
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The ``rc522_spi`` component allows you to use RC522 RFID controllers with ESPHome. This component is a global hub that
|
|
establishes the connection to the RC522 via :ref:`SPI <spi>` (also avilable over I²C). Using the
|
|
:ref:`RC522 binary sensors <rc522-tag>` you can then create individual binary sensors that track if
|
|
an RFID tag is currently detected by the RC522.

Configuration variables:
|
|
************************
|
|
|
|
- **cs_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin on the ESP that the chip select line
|
|
is connected to.
|
|
- **spi_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the :ref:`SPI Component <spi>` if you want
|
|
to use multiple SPI buses.
|
|
- **on_tag** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform when a tag is read. See
|
|
:ref:`rc522-on_tag`.
|
|
- **reset_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin connected to the RST line. Some tests
|
|
shows the RC522 working okay without this.
|
|
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The duration of each scan on the RC522. This affects the
|
|
duration that the individual binary sensors stay active when they're found.
|
|
If a device is not found within this time window, it will be marked as not present. Defaults to ``1s``.
|
|
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID for this component.
|
|
|
|
Over I²C
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The ``rc522_i2c`` component allows you to use RC522 RFID controllers with ESPHome. This component is a global hub that
|
|
establishes the connection to the RC522 via :ref:`I²C <i2c>` (also avilable over SPI). Using the
|
|
:ref:`RC522 binary sensors <rc522-tag>` you can then create individual binary sensors that track if
|
|
an RFID tag is currently detected by the RC522.

|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
************************
|
|
|
|
- **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x28``.
|
|
- **i2c_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the :ref:`I²C Component <i2c>` if you want
|
|
to use multiple I²C buses.
|

|
.. _rc522-on_tag:
|
|
|
|
``on_tag`` Action
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
This automation will be triggered when the RC522 module responds with a tag. Please note that this
|
|
can be called quite often (with an interval of ``update_interval``) as it's triggered repeatedly
|
|
if the tag is re-read many times.
|
|
|
|
The parameter ``x`` this trigger provides is of type ``std::string`` and is the tag UID in the format
|
|
``74-10-37-94``. The configuration below will for example publish the tag ID on the MQTT topic ``rc522/tag``.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
rc522_spi: # or rc522_i2c
|
|
# ...
|
|
on_tag:
|
|
then:
|
|
- mqtt.publish:
|
|
topic: rc522/tag
|
|
payload: !lambda 'return x;'
|
|
|
|
A tag scanned event can also be sent to the Home Assistant tag component
|
|
using :ref:`api-homeassistant_tag_scanned_action`.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
rc522_spi: # or rc522_i2c
|
|
# ...
|
|
on_tag:
|
|
then:
|

- homeassistant.tag_scanned: !lambda 'return x;'

``rc522`` Binary Sensor
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The ``rc522`` binary sensor platform lets you track if an RFID tag with a given
|
|
unique id (``uid``) is currently being detected by the RC522 or not.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
# Example configuration entry
|
|
spi:
|
|
clk_pin: D0
|
|
miso_pin: D1
|
|
mosi_pin: D2
|
|
|
|
rc522_spi: # or rc522_i2c
|
|
cs_pin: D3
|
|

|
|
|
|
binary_sensor:
|
|
- platform: rc522
|
|
uid: 74-10-37-94
|
|
name: "RC522 RFID Tag"
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
************************
|
|
|
|
- **uid** (**Required**, string): The unique ID of the RFID tag. This is a hyphen-separated list
|
|
of hexadecimal values. For example ``74-10-37-94``.
|
|
- **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>`.
|
|
|
|
.. _rc522-setting_up_tags:
|
|
|
|
Setting Up Tags
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
To set up binary sensors for specific RFID tags you first have to know their unique IDs. To obtain this
|
|
id, first set up a simple RC522 configuration without any binary sensors like above.
|
|
|
|
When your code is running and you approach the RC522 with an RFID Tag, you should see a message like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
Found new tag '74-10-37-94'
|
|
|
|
Then copy this id and create a ``binary_sensor`` entry as in the configuration example. Repeat this process for
|
|
each tag.
