Hi all,
I’ve built the NFC reader as described on https://github.com/adonno/tagreader. I’ve copied the Tagreader.yaml from there, filled in my wifi details and flashed the thing trough espflasher. All fine and dandy: Home Assistant recognized a new device with four entities (tag reader buzzer enabled, tag reader led enabled, tag reader led and tag reader status). I can control the light from Lovelace and sound the buzzer after calling on a specific service.
However: no tags are recognized. I’ve written them with the iOS app and my phone recognizes all of them instantly and performs the connected automation. The reader however does nothing with none of the cards or NFC dongles. No blinking led, no sound from the buzzer, no indication whatsoever anywhere that it’s listening for tags or that it found one. I’m wondering: do I have a faulty PN532 board or am I missing something else? (Yes, the switches on the board are on (1) and off (2).)
