People usually use one of the PN532 modules and an Arduino if they want to use HF chips for access control. Unfortunately the verified ones on the DT store are sold out at the moment. The modules are very common though. Search for PN532 on the forum and you’ll see some other threads where people have discussed where to purchase good ones.
There’s also the Open Source Deadbolt project. We’re still trying to get a lock manufacturer on board, I think, but when that’s finished it will work with HF chips.
