Access Control System - Everything Can Be Configured Via Web UI (IoT)

Hi everyone in this project we gonna make ESP RFID accsess control board with ESP8266 and RC522. Access control system using a cheap RFID reader and ESP microcontroller.

Minimal effort for setting up your Access Control system
Capable of managing up to 1.000 Users (even more is possible)
Great for Maker Spaces, Labs, Schools, etc
Cheap to build and easy to maintain

Step 1: Video Tutorial

Minimal effort for setting up your Access Control system, just flash and everything can be configured via Web UI. This control board is great for Makerspace, labs and schools. I made this for my own workshop.

Step 2: Hardware and Tools

Required Components:

Geekcreit® NodeMcu ESP8266 ESP-12F

RC522 RFID Reader Module

Mini 5V DC Power Relay

L7805CV TO-220

10uf Electrolytic Capacitor

IN4007 Diode

BC547 TO-92 Transistor

Green LED

1K Ohm Resistor

Power Jack Socket

Terminal Block Connector

Female Header

9V Adapter

5V Mini Fan

Types of door locks that can be used:

12V Electric Solenoid Door Lock

Step 4: Flash Firmware & Web UI

Steps

First, flash firmware (you can use /bin/flash.bat on Windows) to your ESP - https://github.com/esprfid/esp-rfid/releases
Search for Wireless Network "esp-rfid-xxxxxx" and connect to it (It should be an open network and does not require password)
Open your browser and type either "http://192.168.4.1"
Log on to ESP, default password is "admin"
Go to "Settings" page
Configure your amazing access control device. Push "Scan" button to join your wireless network, configure RFID hardware, Relay Module.
Save settings, when rebooted your ESP will try to join your wireless network.
Go to "Users" page
Scan a PICC (RFID Tag) then it should glimpse on your Browser's screen.
Type "User Name" or "Label" for the PICC you scanned.
Choose "Allow Access" if you want to
Click "Add"
