Hi
I'm totally new to RFID and Homeseer but I am looking for advice from people who have passive RFID readers linked with Homeseer.
Want I want to achieve is a small scanner placed by my front door, with a small key fob on my keyring that when I leave and return I can simply scan the tag and this will run a series of events such as Alarm Setting, putting heating in to Economy etc.
I currently use a Z-Wave Keyfob but the battery life is very, very bad and is costing a fortune for batteries every 2 weeks or so for 3 fobs.
I would like some recommendations for equipment (devices that are in use rather than will work in theory) that's not massively expensive, be it hard wired, wireless, Z-Wave etc. If it is hard wired using CAT5 for instance would be useful for the cable runs. If you could supply suppliers that ship internationally or are based in the UK/Europe.
I have the BLRFID Plug-in installed, so equipment that works with this would be ideal, but I see there is a iAutomate Plugin as well and this supplier has a lot of devices available and happy to use their plug-in if they can supply the equipment I need at a reasonable cost.
I'm also interested in the Active RFID for monitoring cars leaving/arriving at the property etc, although costs look high at $400-$1000 for the receiver. Any recommendations for lower cost solutions would be great for me to look at and if anyone knows of any tags that can be powered directly from the car for instance.
So in summary I need advice for a passive reader, a supplier and how this works with Homeseer (setup, installation, Plug-in etc).
Thanks for the help.
