You have to ensure that the tags are compatible with the reader
There are several reader on different frequencies the tags MUST be on that same one
Maybe for ease of use ensure the reader is also compatible with esphome. And you don’t need magic cards for this solution since magic cards is mainly focused for audio

Thanks. I had this same problem a few years ago when I built a device for a farmer to scan and read the tags off his livestock. The tags placed onto animals ears in the UK are typically non-standard and I had to import a reader from Australia for the project. I must get round to publishing that project. It made the farmer much more efficient when performing the annual disclosure report he legally had to produce and was a lot of fun to build.

Looking for ~1-meter range so should look for RFID at 13.56Mhz or UHF 860Mhz and passive tags (especially the higher frequency ones).
I used to design RFID readers for a living and made one with a 1.5 meter range using a 60cm diameter coil operating on a passive tag.
Yes definately, have a look at the EM4095 chip which is pretty easy to use, I created my own system with this chip and an Arduino. Also there is the U2270B from Atmel. Both are low cost, and work with 125Khz tags http://www.apdanglia.org.uk/shoppingcart2.html#EM4095-IC

I track a number of household chores with the help of
input_datetime
helpers and an automation thannaggsreminds me when the chore is due.An example of such a chore is bedding however I've added some intelligence leverage the powerful insights I have from my Smart Home. For example, I get reminders after every second stay that my daughter's bedding needs to be washed and changed after every guest has visited and every week for my own.
While I quite happily take advantage of an actionable alert when my washing machine is used where I can say if the bedding in one of these examples has been washed I'd really like to automate that final piece. My good friend @adonno pointed me towards Magic Cards some time ago and he has recently revisited Magic Cards. This got me thinking about how I could use RFID tags on the bedding and detect when they have been washed.
So my plan is to build an ESPHome based RFID reader (with strong/long-range) that can be placed on the washing machine and detect when I wash bedding. The same could be achieved for other items such as towels but let's just have some fun with bedding for now.
Assume a reader is placed near the door the range would need to be between 40-50cm.
