A DIY NFC tag reader project built on an ESP8266 D1 Mini and PN532 module, with ESPHome firmware designed specifically for Home Assistant. It includes firmware configuration, schematics, and 3D-printable case files for building the device.

Use cases

  • read NFC tags to trigger Home Assistant automations
  • build a DIY NFC tag scanner for smart home
  • flash ESPHome firmware to a PN532 tag reader
  • scan NFC tags for presence or scene control in Home Assistant
  • build a tag reader with LED feedback and buzzer sounds

When to choose

  • you use Home Assistant and want NFC tag-based automations
  • you want a cheap, well-documented DIY hardware project with 3D-printable case
  • you already use ESPHome and want an integrated tag reader

When to avoid

  • you don't use Home Assistant or ESPHome
  • you need a plug-and-play commercial NFC reader without soldering
  • you need support for NFC platforms other than PN532
