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) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/9/94588656714a81c8a4b5549745b2ecdb3786aef2.png) Thanks! ---

Hi When you are in the settings you have to toggle “Tag Approval” on in the advanced settings section. After that you can push “home” 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 “Tag Approval” off again when you are finished. I hope you will get it to work 😉 ---

I had the Benext tag reader [BEnext Tag reader 500](https://community.homey.app/t/benext-tag-reader-500/3000) 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. Gr Frans ---

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

Ok I’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: ![31](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/b/b115841a0e96aa6ea8017d033f6d1ae478471c82.png) ---

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 ”when user is away” then activate alarm” but when i press away on the zipato nothing happens… Can anyone show me som flow or explain How to build the flow to activate the alarm?
