Hi,

Just received the Zipato Mini RFID Keypad.
Now i have to create users and add Tags to this user.

Anyone knows how i add nfc tags to a user and use them in a flow?
(Mark USER as away/home)

Hi

When you are in the settings you have to toggle ā€œTag Approvalā€ on in the advanced settings section. After that you can push ā€œhomeā€ button on the keypad and hold the tag in front. It will then remember the tag. Afterwards you can create a user and associate the tag to the user. Remember to push the tag id number in the dropdown to ensure it is marked.

Remember to toggle the ā€œTag Approvalā€ off again when you are finished.

I hope you will get it to work :wink:

I had the Benext tag reader BEnext Tag reader 500

I have tried everyting with that device. I think its practacally the same. Could get it working but only within 50 cm from homey. I returned IT to the supplier and they told me that the zipato was not compatible with homey so i have not even tried it.

Hi Julien,

It worked for me when 1 pushed : Home > Number > Enter (only for 1 number)
I am still struggeling with the TAGā€™s , Hope that there is more support in V2 for this device.

For now, i am not using itā€¦

hello @SanderD

Thank you for your answer ! So the pin can not match with a specific user, is that correct ?

11

Ok Iā€™ve tried and I was wrong, you can enter more than one pin code.

For the one who read this:

as @SanderD said, you have to push Home -> create your pin -> push Enter (the pin code (ID) is now created).

After, you have to go to your Zipato settings page (via Homey) and attribute this pin code to a User:

Great! And did you manage to get it working with the RFID tags also?

13

Yes ā€œID 1ā€ is a RFID Tags and ā€œID 2ā€ & ā€œID 3ā€ are pin codes !

14

How did you manage to get the tags working?

I need to try it again now i know that it should be workingā€¦

15

Is this Zipato reader working with Homey 2.1.x version?
I have a Benext, but that one is not supported anymore on v2, app not updated (App not updated in 2 years)

16

At my side it is working.

Only battery status is not updating anymore. So if someone has a solution for itā€¦

17

Battery status is updating, but constant at 1% with me, also after battery replacement.\

Can it be a bug in the Zipato App where battery status OK (1) is assumed to be the percentage of the battery (1%)?

How Does a flow look like to activate heimdall through the zipato rfid?

How do i set away mode? Just press away or away+tag?

Do i go through the device in the flow or NFC?

I have tried ā€when user is awayā€ then activate alarmā€ but when i press away on the zipato nothing happensā€¦

Can anyone show me som flow or explain How to build the flow to activate the alarm?

Regards
