RFID Cards Trigger

This project is a fork of Music Card from hoveeman/music-cards forked from fsahli/music-cards.

It has been updated to be able to trig actions on others servers on rfid swipe. List of actions:

• sonos Api node-sonos-http-api
• home assistant (todo, change from hoveeman/music-cards)

Requires

software:

• python pip. To install:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade -y
sudo apt-get install python3-pip

• python evdev. To install:

sudo pip3 --default-timeout=1000 install evdev

--default-timeout=1000 helps if the raspberry is too slow

hardware:

• Raspberry Pi Zero (Don't forget micro sd card and power supply)
• USB OTG Hub
• RFID 125Khz Reader
• 125Khz Cards

Remark : see on original project https://github.com/hoveeman/music-cards for printable rfid cards

####Raspberry Limitaion Please note that Raspberry Pi Zero is insufficient to run both the Home Assistant and and the rfid scanner. It is recommend you use a Raspberry Pi 3 if you intend to run both at the same time.

Test has to be done with node-sonos-http-api and rfid scanner, they should run together on all raspberry.
