To flash the reader firmware to your D1 Mini you have two options. You can load up the [tagreader.yaml](https://github.com/adonno/tagreader/blob/master/tagreader.yaml) in ESPHome and flash it from there, or you can use something like [NodeMCU PyFlasher](https://github.com/marcelstoer/nodemcu-pyflasher). If you're new to ESPHome, we recommend that you use the [ESPHome Home Assistant add-on](https://esphome.io/guides/getting_started_hassio.html).
