Okay, Mr. Creepy. I was *just* looking at these last night, and then when I open up UA-cam this morning this is the very first recommended video from UA-cam, and you only published it an hour ago?? 😆😆 Seriously though, I appreciate the (amusingly well timed) review of these. I may need to go pick one up now!
I saw SmartHomeJunkie post a video and bought the components assembled it and plugged it into HA and no smoke but a constant beep and red led on 532. I already know from my experience and Ed’s that I wish I bought a case and now the sandwich unit preflashed! I think the demand is high and with you and Ed making videos with different use cases, the demand is only going to increase. Nice job as usual with clear instructions and great to have you back!
It takes me one week to ship them when i get all the parts most difficult part is shipping labels right now. I am currently on vacation and will be back by end of august . Shipping would start on september
@@adonno wow, I am honored to get a comment from “The Man” himself. Great work and I wish I had the patience. So I will buy one of your nice ones and just leave mine on a bread board. Enjoy your Holidays!
Was looking to replace my kids Toniebox with something more techie and open to customize like a Phoniebox and stumbled upon this beautiful piece of tech Ardonno assembled here....and forgot about it! Thanks you, Mark, for reminding me. Just ordered two pieces right away! Can't wait to get these in September as I missed the faster delivery by one week. Also looking forward to a battery powered version. Maybe Adonno could think about a more kid friendly version of the housing. Something more colorful or a nice playful logo.
I have already built a Tag Reader - but i'm still struggeling to cast a Playlist (childs audiobooks) to a Google Home. This should be possible with Music Assistant - but i dont know how 🤪 Waiting for more documentation on this. Thanks for your Video!
For my example mentioned in this video I utilise Apple Music with the Amazon echo. I’m still yet to dabble with Music Assistant. I’ll have my code on GitHub a little later on and it will be int the description. I’ll try give you a nudge later when its done 👌🏻
In no way am I at Mark’s level but I am building the tag reader and intend to use it with Music Assistant and I really enjoy using MA. I am still new to HA, only 4 months but all my old mp3 files are on a NAS and I hope to use tags to start a playlist. I will be learning this too! So I am not sure this is encouraging but I have lots of questions or learning on scripts and automations for use with MA. I would say stay tuned but I am not an influencer like Mark, just a tinkerer. So I am not sure how I would let you know when I have succeeded. I enjoy my streaming music while doing my “projects” so I expect I will eventually know MA better than many other integrations. When Mark has a 30 year old and his house to himself he might be more about music. I will post a video of using MA with HA and the Aqara Magic Cube controlling playback of mp3s on NAS on an Arylic Upstream board.
Great Video and instructions ! I actually ended up making one. Thanks ! My Android phone also has NFC , but each time i scan it , it produces a new tag ID , hence making phone NFC unusable. Is there a workaround ?
Just went looking for a video for this. I've liked, subscribed and got that bell. Is love a video on how to play stuff from Disney etc. I know I'll need to work out how to push stuff to my Chromecast first, but would love some stuff on this.
@@markprice1734 thanks mark. My recent video on 3 TV automations shows off the Disney automation. I’ll also add the code ti the description now as I totally forgot. Cheers :)
Looks great - thanks for the video.... how did you print on the plastic cards? I've got a laser printer, but that's not going to do it! I guess I could print on paper and stick it on!!!! ;-)
I made one of these (not this version. mine is a Frankenstein of their parts and custom case). I have had a lot of fun with it but its really hit and miss playing media on plex. Mostly miss (like 80% of the time lol) grandson loves it when it works. set up a zigbee button next to the reader that turns on the tv and switches it to the plex app on roku. Then he has cards with the movie cover art so he can play his movies. I am interested in how you got disney plus to work though. As I have an annual for him so I could change to that if it works better...
@@MarkWattTech welp. esphome upgraded now none of these work for me. just my luck!! to add insult to injury i though i had a recent backup... nope. 4 months old lol. oh well..
I have the same idea to make nfc cards with movie characters for my daughters. However, I am struggling with the automation to initiate the video playback. I am running a DLNA server and in the kids room I have Samsung Smart TV 2021 and Kodi on RPI. Can you suggest a way to initiate the stream?
Seems like a nice device but i am still thinking about if i diy it or buy it cause i have 5 pn532s and esps laying around my collection and i am actualy gonna edit the code to my prefferences and things
Heya. Sorry I did mean to put it all in GitHub but have been away at some weddings etc. my video (maybe releasing tomorrow - is on tv automations and I cover those and will have all the code. I’ll also add the GitHub link to this video.) check back soon though 😁
My daughter turns 2 in September and I need this. I just bought the reader and NFC tags. 2 Questions. What did you use to print the stickers? And 2nd, do you have any experience doing the deep links with plex? Specifically for Roku... I can get other deeplinks (disney) to work but i can't figure out plex on Roku
Watch Mark's older video that he signposts in this video. It has some really useful ideas. Also, Mark, it's not that bad a video! Cut yourself a break 🙂
Anyone bought one of these recently? I bought a few, but haven’t received any more info since. It’s been over a month, so maybe it’s not a thing anymore….
Great timing. I posted the following a few days ago on the HA Esp Forum (no reply). Maybe you might have a suggestion. I have been using the NFC Tag Reader from Adonno as a garage door opener. It works when it wants to. Let me explain. The NFC unit is outside my garage in a sealed unit. The wemos is inside the garage within 2m/6ft of my Unifi access point (shows 100% connection). Wires are run through the wall, about 1m/3ft. The device continually shows connected to EspHome and does show logs if the buzzer or led is turned on. But if I use my tag it does nothing. If I restart the device through EspHome it still does nothing. The only way I have found that it works is to remove the power cord and then replug it in. Is the device going through a sleep mode? Why do I have to physically repower the device. Any thoughts would be greatl appreciated.
@@captain_loeffel I have built four of them for different uses. I have swapped out part, reloaded the esphome yaml and such. But this one device gives me fits. Do not know if a non wemos board would do the trick. That will be my next step. Thank you.
I used a card printer (they are very expensive though) usually they are used for printing security id cards. Personally I would just buy a sticker printer and apply them yourself.

I was thinking the same thing!! Mine are in transit, now in the US with USPS
Agreed! My kid just asked for a way to automate him turning off his lights at night.
44 days after shipment, still waiting. It appears my shipment was addressed incorrectly.

Looking forward to September or whenever it ships!
Welcome back to the show. Happy to see your are doing better.
Thank you 😁
Definitly looking for a battery powered one! :)

Thanks for a nice small video. I'm planning getting a tag reader for my Alarmo setup 🙂
Great video! The reader looks awesome. Battery powered version would be great 👏
I was going to write the same comment, but I will just upvote yours :)
This is sick! I have no idea what I want one for, but will probably pick one up when I finally set up HA 😂 thanks!
I'm in love with this!!😍
Nice video as usual, mine is in the post I hope! Like the idea of this to overide the alarm for catsitters!
It’s deffo a handy one to have :)
Mark,
always have great content and love your channel. Well done and thanks.
Really appreciate that thank you 🙏🏻

@@BELSERVICEMAN Sounds good! Some examples with description will do the Job :)
So cute kids! :)
Can you also write with that reader..?
For example to write people’s names within NFC cards so we know who used them.
Hope your feeling better too mate
A lot better now thank you 💪🏻😄
Excellent news 👊
hi thx for the vid. can you write over here please what NFC requirement for buying tag cards - I couldn't catch it fully on your vid
Great Video and instructions ! I actually ended up making one. Thanks !
My Android phone also has NFC , but each time i scan it , it produces a new tag ID , hence making phone NFC unusable. Is there a workaround ?
Great video
Can you make a video on how to play certain Disney+/Netflix shows on smart tv by scanning the tag?
Sure 😁👌🏻
I second this!!

Hello, thank for your video 👌 I don't know if the question has already been asked: what voltage/current does it need to operate normally? Thanks
Hi Mark! Did you make your Fire tablet wallmount case? I’d be interested in buying one.
Looks great - thanks for the video.... how did you print on the plastic cards? I've got a laser printer, but that's not going to do it! I guess I could print on paper and stick it on!!!! ;-)
@MarkWattTech Please let us know if/how you print those cards. Thanks!
Any use case ideas for the potential battery operated version ?

@@MarkWattTech welp. esphome upgraded now none of these work for me. just my luck!! to add insult to injury i though i had a recent backup... nope. 4 months old lol. oh well..
Can it be used with an active rfidchip in order to be scan within 30-50cm from reader?

It's a really fun project. If you have the parts already then go mad and create something cool and experiment with extra functionality.
I want esptag reader to put ob esp32 with other pir motion sensor and temp sensor
Tag reader works also with an esp32
I have some ideas up my sleeve but first i need to get battery one working (wich will be esp32)
Hi Mark. Thanks for the video. Sorry, but I don't see the script for the disney movie automation, can you share please? Thanks.

As soon as I saw it thought of alarmo mounted just inside front/back doors before watching
I think this is a great one for Alarmo control 👌🏻
I'm not sure what the practical use is for tag readers for the everyday user
Can anyone give me some examples of how they use them?
Watch Mark's older video that he signposts in this video. It has some really useful ideas. Also, Mark, it's not that bad a video! Cut yourself a break 🙂

Have you tried different NFCs to make sure it is not the one you are using making problems. Perhaps by compatibility?

@@carltonwbrooks I don’t have an answer but can recommend using a grow sensor and do a fingerprint sensor for garage door, it works really well👍
You might have issues with the 2m wires , since the voltages are quite low maybe try thicker wires
@@adonno Thank you, that is not an option I have tried. Any suggestion on the wire size?
so how much does the thing cost and how can i get one? there is ZERO info on the website.
Click on the shop link, costs right there on first page.
This 👆🏻
@@iainhay2823 I didn't see a shop link, and I looked EVERYWHERE
@@mrxmry3264 shop.adonno.com/ it’s right under handy links in Mark’s video description
@@mrxmry3264 ok i‘ll have a look at the website and i‘ll add a link
Which nfc ring are you using? Do you have a product link?
I still need to add the GitHub code so I’ll add that to the description too (out atm but it should all he there later).
Please tell me your big secret.
How do you get time to automate, Work, Edit this great videos and play with 2 kids? Please tell me! :)
Lots and lots of late nights 🥲
@@MarkWattTech ohh! Without coffee? :)
From where can I get these NFC cards custom printed?
I used a card printer (they are very expensive though) usually they are used for printing security id cards. Personally I would just buy a sticker printer and apply them yourself.
There are printable stickers of the right size (~credit card etc.) for Canon Selphy.
