ELTAKO Series 64 & EnOcean: Smarter Homes with Seamless and Sustainable Control

Smart Homes enhance comfort, safety, and energy efficiency. Using battery-free wireless technology as technology foundation allows realizing intelligent heating, lighting, and security systems without complex wiring or battery replacements. Powered by movement, light, or temperature differences, energy harvesting sensors and switches provide a flexible, maintenance-free solution for a truly smart living experience.

Open ecosystems for flexible and scalable smart homes

Smart Home systems are often gradually deployed. Homeowners or tenants might start with basic functionality such as local lighting control and subsequently extend this to cover advanced use cases such as energy monitoring, scheduling and personalization.

Such scenarios strongly benefit from open ecosystems such as EnOcean. Over 300 independent EnOcean partners provide a wide range of smart home products giving customers ample choice and thereby prevent vendor lock-in.

Seamless Integration into Leading Smart Home Platforms

Being able to centrally control all smart home functionality via apps and to integrate into big ecosystems such as Apple, Amazon or Google is another key requirement of today’s customers. The new Matter standard aims to unify the process of setting up smart home devices within these ecosystems.

Ideal solutions should therefore be optimized for lowest power consumption during operation while offering advanced, IP-based connectivity for setup and monitoring tasks. The latest Series 64 actuators from ELTAKO provide great examples of how this can be achieved.

Bridging EnOcean and Matter for Ultimate Flexibility

They stand for simple commissioning, seamless integration, and unparalleled flexibility. Thanks to optional integration of EnOcean radio functionality, these products can combine local control using EnOcean energy harvesting switches with remote control from any device within a Matter network. In addition, they implement protocol bridge functionality which allows EnOcean switches to control other devices in the Matter network.

Combining the reliability and operational efficiency of EnOcean solutions with the intelligence of Matter ecosystem solutions provided by Apple, Amazon and Google uniquely enables an unlimited range of smart control scenarios. Ultimately, by integrating ELTAKO and EnOcean technologies, smart homes achieve their full potential. And thus, enhance comfort, safety, and energy efficiency in a seamless and sustainable way.
