Best ZigBee keypad and RFC tag for alarm - sh.itjust.works

Hello, I’m looking for a ZigBee keypad and RFC tag for my alarm. I’m using zigbee2mqtt and alarmo. Any suggestion ? Thanks !

Same as entering a PIN code. The default ZHA and Z2M integrations however don’t make it easy to use more than 4 digit codes as the RFID cards are always bigger than four digit hex. I’m using Node Red and have an All Events listener for zha_event then filt...
