About This Project
ESP-RFID is an access control system built on Espressif's ESP8266 and a cheap RFID reader: MFRC522, PN532, RDM6300 or any Wiegand reader. You flash it once and configure everything from a web interface, which manages up to 1,000 users, logs timestamped records using NTP time and talks to the browser over WebSocket with JSON. MQTT support lets it report to home automation. The project targets maker spaces, labs and schools that want a cheap, maintainable door system. An official open-source relay board is also available: it runs the ESP-12 module, reader and magnetic lock from a single 12V 2A supply, tracks door status, controls the reader's LED and buzzer and fits a DIN-mount enclosure.
