Hello! I take care of the access control systems at several residential buildings. Many use Kantech hardware, some RBH, some others (Chubb's equipment, whatever it is; also Viscount MESH).
I am about to undertake a routine FOB audit at a couple of buildings and am looking for a way to make a particular part of it easier. With age, the codes stamped on the various ioProx and AWID fobs wears off. With nobody on site to meet people and read the FOB via software, my only recourse is to make people meet me at a specific time or make repeated trips to the site to determine these FOB codes.
I wonder if there is any pre-made product to read these FOB codes? It would not need to be any more than a proximity reader and a simple LCD display to show the FOB code when a FOB is swiped. A discussion on Reddit suggested I could build one using a Raspberry Pi and a particular piece of hardware to read the FOBs, but I have neither the time nor the skill for it. This is a common enough problem that certainly a solution already exists?
Any ideas?
