- Thu Jan 19, 2017 7:36 am #61229 After design of the RFID Relay Board I saw that I need something that I can use with my smart home project. Publishing RFID tag with wifi is a great idea and there will be lots of usage areas. There are very cheap RFID readers around for a while and bringing them together with our great hero esp8266 WiFi chip seems to me a good idea. You can find the details here:

Use MQTT publish UID and get node red to process as required, can even embed an offline mode for standalone operation to home nodes using TCP network communication!
