IDTECK makes ID systems used to control access and identify users. This component works with Proximity Readers (RFID card readers). The device is connected to Home Assistant through a serial to ethernet converter (NPort).

An idteck_prox_keycard event is fired whenever a card or key sequence has been entered. The event contains 'card' - the card/key sequence, and the 'name' of the card reader. Checking 'card' against known card numbers can be used as the basis of an entry control system, or as part of a check-in/check-out system.
