The ``rc522`` component allows you to use RC522 RFID controllers

create individual binary sensors that track if an RFID tag is currently detected by the RC522.

See :ref:`rc522-setting_up_tags` for information on how to setup individual binary sensors for this component.

As the communication with the RC522 is done using SPI you need to have an :ref:`SPI bus <spi>` in your configuration with both
the **miso_pin** and **mosi_pin** set.
The RC522 supports SPI, I²C and UART communication protocols, ESPHome can use either SPI or I²C.

* If you have a module like the image above, it can only be used in SPI mode (`unless hacked <https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=442750.0>`__)
and you need to have an :ref:`SPI bus <spi>` in your configuration with both the **miso_pin** and **mosi_pin** set.

* If you have a RC522 which communicates via I²C like in the M5 Stack then you need to have an :ref:`I²C <i2c>` bus configured.

Configuration variables:
************************

- **cs_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin on the ESP that the chip select line
is connected to.
- **reset_pin** (*Optional*, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin connected to the RST line. Some tests
shows the RC522 working okay without this.
- **update_interval** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-time`): The duration of each scan on the RC522. This affects the
duration that the individual binary sensors stay active when they're found.
If a device is not found within this time window, it will be marked as not present. Defaults to 1s.
- **on_tag** (*Optional*, :ref:`Automation <automation>`): An automation to perform
when a tag is read. See :ref:`rc522-on_tag`.

- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID for this component.

^^^^^^^^^

- **cs_pin** (**Required**, :ref:`Pin Schema <config-pin_schema>`): The pin on the ESP that the chip select line
is connected to.
- **spi_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the :ref:`SPI Component <spi>` if you want
to use multiple SPI buses.
- **id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID for this component.


I²C Only:
^^^^^^^^^

- **address** (*Optional*, int): Manually specify the I²C address of the sensor. Defaults to ``0x28``.
- **i2c_id** (*Optional*, :ref:`config-id`): Manually specify the ID of the :ref:`I²C Component <i2c>` if you want
to use multiple I²C buses.
