RFID to provide access to OpenEVSE load
OpenEVSE Support
OpenEVSE has a RFID board coming soon. It will be turnkey, plug it in and go. It will support local cards or cards authenticated over OCPP.

Hie thanks for your answer.
Do you have the timeline
OpenEVSE Support
We have a set of prototype boards ready to be built by hand. If they are 100% functional without any issues, then we are about 4 weeks out. If revisions are required, it will be a bit longer.
For local cards, can we get the card ID recorded in the charge event history? That doesn't seem to be (yet) present in the OpenEVSE WiFi code.

We would suggest posting feature requests here:
https://github.com/OpenEVSE/openevse_esp32_firmware/issues
RFID records in event history would be a nice feature, as well as energy usage reports per ID.
Are these boards available yet, can't see them in teh shop.

Hello
Do you have good news about RFID compliance ?
Thanks

PN532 based boards on I2C bus work with OpenEVSE WiFi Firmware.
I've been using OpenEVSE this way for over two years now. I added a capacitive touchpad as well, which honestly I use more often that the RFID because you can just tell the PIN to friends, neighbors, and occasional guests, reassign PINs once guests leave, etc.

Hardware files here: https://github.com/cscott/OpenEVSE_Keypad_RFID
Firmware patch here: https://github.com/cscott/openevse_esp32_firmware -- but it's mainly PIN pad support, the RFID support is in the stock firmware and my PIN pad just emulates an RFID tag.

Hello everyone.
Have any of you ever worked on the subject of RFID authentication on the charging station in order to trigger the electrical charging of the vehicle.
Is there a turnkey solution? or an interfaceable solution?
THANKS
