PN532 RFID with direct connection to RPI I2C
Posted: Monday 12 November 2018 8:56
Hello,
Maybe I just didn't find it, but there seems to be no plug-in in Domoticz that can handle a PN532 RFID board that is directly connected to the RPI I2C interface. I can find some Python programs and some libraries that might work with the PN532 but this, and also Python, is new to me. I know there is a good working implementation with EasysESP but I would like a solution with a direct I2C connection to the RPI board, because I don't want to rely on WiFi for this.
Is there someone who has made a plug-in for the PN532? Otherwise I guess I need to dive into it and start from scratch by finding out how to parse data or control a switch in DOmoticz by using Python. Would be my first Python script ever, so any help or advice would be certainly appreciated.
Would a Python script or Plug-in be the easiest way to realise this or are there any easier solutions?
Regards,
CP
