Overview
The RFID-DOOR included WebGui is already very nice but I wanted to include my RFID-DOORS into my smarthome central based on Node-Red. Why did I want that even when I got a nice GUI right on the RFID-Device? First of all when you got more then one Door I didn't want to mess around Sync the users with file up & download. I wanted to Controll the rfid-door device from my home automation GUI. The managment of all my doors should be done throu my home automation without the the need to call every device with a seperate IP over a webbrowser. So this Feature List will be included in my woorkflow:
- Syncronize all Users of the n * RFID-DOOR devices to Node-Red based homeautomatisation
- Complete Managment of users of all RFID-DOOR devices (add,remove & edit)
- Opening a door over GUI or voice command
- Log all events to the home automatisation central instead storing it on the RFID-DEVICE
- A webbased GUI that can be used by cellphone, desktop or tablet
Prepare the basic installation
Before we can reuse the workflow I will explain next we have to do some basic preparing to have all modules installed needed by that workflow. So lets see what we need:
- Node-Red basic installed
- MySql Database installed
- MQTT Server installed
- Download the RFID-Workflow here and install it
