Hi there, Looking to build a RFID based door access for my home. Based off what I read I need a control board & reader 1 x https://de.aliexpress.com/item/4000781912427.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.f1823c00sODShF&mp=1 I already have an existing Doorbird 125khz RFID tag which I think I can multi purpose for my Intercom and this door access solution. Question re: software, the OEM software obviously has no REST API/HTTP integration. Am I right in saying the windows package of your software exposes the Control board via HTTP and that I could potentially send HTTP commands from a home automation package such as OpenHAB to control the electric strikes? I would like to have the software programming done in Windows, but be able to send commands via HTTP or even MQTT to control the electric strikes Thanks! |

Sounds like a fun project! :-) Yup, you could use the REST or MQTT implementations - but TBH, I would really suggest starting with the NodeRED implementation:
The uhppoted-rest or uhppoted-mqtt projects do expose the API via HTTP or MQTT respectively so you could of course hook your controller up to OpenHAB that way. But ..... they are probably overkill, more complicated than you probably need (at least initially) and would also require a lot more work on your side. They're really intended more for industrial'ish applications that live unloved in a dark cupboard somewhere. Some other things you should be aware of:
HTH (and please let me know how it goes!) |

Thanks so much for the fast reply! I'll look into NodeRed, I only require basic functionality. Ive heard Nodered thrown around a bit but I've never looked into it - thanks for the tip! Will take your suggest and go for the Amazon board. The Doorbird fob uses: ISO/IEC 18000-2:2009 Part 2, EM4100, EM4102 Shall do :) |

Received my controller/RFID reader, I cant seem to locate a Windows Installer for this software? I read Windows was supported... Am I missing something? :( |

The manufacturer software should have been supplied on a CD with the controller (the download site for it seems to have been taken offline or moved). If you didn't receive it you'll have to post a question on the Amazon page and ask their tech support for it. The Windows binaries for this project can be found here - it's just a zip file, no installer. |

Yep I've got the CD, can use the controller just fine/on the network. Can use the CLI to open the door, that's all cool. Intention , send MQTT command to the device to open the door relay. |
