## Description

This is a sample script reading the input from an USB RFID reader connected to a Raspberry Pi to trigger on/off commands controlling a LED light bulb.

The RFID used is a [RFIDeas pcProx 125 kHz][rfid] which basically simulates keyboard input.

The python script uses [evdev][evdev] to read the input and make a POST request to a controller server that manages the light bulbs.

## Documentation

Once you plug the RFID reader to the Pi's USB, if you run the `lsusb` command it should be listed there:

```

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp. 

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. 

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0bda:8176 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188CUS 802.11n WLAN Adapter

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0c27:3bfa RFIDeas, Inc pcProx Card Reader

```

Once your device is recognized, you can run the script:

```bash

$ sudo python rfid_light.py -o 2714

```

The **-o** option is the RFID card number that will be used to trigger the **on** command. Any other value will trigger the **off** command. Simple as that.
