That’s why I didn’t. Unless you plan on having them PNP it’s a pain. Even if you wanted to hand do it you’d need a reflow oven or hotplate. You’d have to do batch orders to make it reasonable.

I was playing with a Wiegand version of this and wrote this basic ESP Home configuration file, it still needs some work and I’m not sure if I should post it here or create a new thread:

Cool, if it’s regarding HA, I think here would be fine. What Wiegand read are you using?

I used one of the readers that I’ve reviewed, and this one worked ok on 5V. I wanted to keep my tests as simple as possible but some readers need 12V.
