Good morning everyone, I’m working on a connection of NFC reader on Homey. I think everything works fine but I can’t get the part added to Homey pro via Tasmota MQTT. I am using a Wemos D1 mini V4 with Tasmota sensor software. I used Tasmota’s tutorial. ([PN532 NFC reader - Tasmota](https://tasmota.github.io/docs/PN532/)) When I scan a tag it also gives an ID. So this piece works well. When I set up the Mqtt client it still seems to work fine. I also see the log in the mqtt client when I scan a tag, but when I add a new device to Homey pro nothing is found. do you have an idea what i should do? Still have a Wemos d1 mini v3 running with a temperature sensor and it works well right away. (deleted this once and added it again and will also be added right away. Thanks Wilco ---

I think you’ll need a MQTT broker as well? Just a thought. ---

When he scans a tag he can see it in the MQTT Client, which suggests there’s already an MQTT broker in place 😃 ---

Yes correct broker is working. If I replace the nfc with a temp sensor. And search for new devices than it find it direct. It is a combination with the nfc reader. Thanks. ---

Looks like the Tasmota app just doesn’t support tag readers: _“The current version of the application supports on/off capability for single or multiple sockets devices, power monitoring, dim, light\_temperature, light\_hue, and light\_saturation capabilities for single socket devices.”_ ([source](https://github.com/spkesDE/com.paveld.tasmota)) As an alternative, you can use the MQTT Client flow cards to trigger on MQTT messages being posted to the specific topic of your device, or you might be able to use the [MQTT Hub app’s “MQTT Device”](https://homey.app/a/nl.hdg.mqtt/) implementation to create a virtual device for it (although there isn’t really a Homey equivalent device type for tag readers). ---

Thank you that’s a good idea. I can easily receive the topic but not the data in it. I’m going to test with it. can i somehow read the content? 12:42:12.289 MQT: tele/tasmota\_BE5746/SENSOR = {“Time”:“2023-08-27T12:42:12”,“PN532”:{“UID”:“862321AFB”}} thank you ---
