Hello everyone, I’m excited to share my thoughts on integrating RFID technology for presence detection in smart home systems. After researching various methods, I stumbled upon the idea of using RFID readers to track the presence of household members. This approach seems promising, especially for those who value reliability and precision.
The concept involves creating a module that combines an RFID reader with a communication protocol compatible with existing smart home systems, such as the CCU2. This module would allow users to detect presence by simply holding an RFID card or tag near the reader. The system could then trigger actions like turning on lights, adjusting heating, or even sending notifications to other devices.
One of the key advantages of this method is its scalability. Each household member can have their own RFID tag, making it easy to track individual presence and tailor actions accordingly. For instance, if a family member’s tag is detected, the system could automatically adjust settings to their preferences.
I’m curious to hear others’ thoughts on this idea. Would there be interest in a pre-made module that simplifies this integration? Additionally, I’m wondering about the feasibility of developing such a module and the potential cost involved. I believe a price range of €50-100 would make it accessible to a broad audience.
If there’s enough interest, I’d be happy to collaborate on bringing this concept to life. Let’s discuss the possibilities and challenges together!
