Our smart product portfolio is proof of energy efficiency and sustainability. Amidst the pressing challenges of climate change and evolving regulations, our energy harvesting solutions empower OEMs and system integrators to exceed their sustainability targets.
At EnOcean, we’re pioneering IoT-based solutions that address the critical global trends of energy management, space optimization, and wellbeing. Our products harness alternative energy sources, offering a wireless, maintenance-free experience without the need for battery replacements.
Our commitment to sustainability is deeply ingrained, as reflected in our diverse product ranges. Overall, our innovate energy harvesting technology has already saved tons of CO2.
A simple push of a button releases enough energy to turn lights on or household appliances off, thanks to energy harvesting. Our battery-free switch modules contain a tiny electro-mechanical energy converter that uses this movement to generate energy and send a radio signal.
These energy-efficient switches look just like conventional models, offering options from simple on/off or up/down switches to sliding and rotary controls for light intensity, color, heating, home entertainment, or security systems. They are always ready for immediate use by anyone in the house.
Moreover, this technology extends beyond wireless switches to window contact sensors that indicate when a window is open, or water sensors that use a swellable material to activate the energy converter. Installed under washing machines or bathtubs, these sensors prevent water damage.
Our wireless sensor modules feature small solar cells that capture light and convert it into energy. They require minimal light, as little as 200 lux, to operate sensors for humidity, temperature, window contacts, or presence detection. These sensors store energy internally, ensuring up to four days of operation without a new energy supply.
EnOcean sensor modules also use this energy for communication via various low-energy wireless standards (EnOcean, Zigbee, Bluetooth®).
A temperature difference of just 2° Celsius is sufficient to generate enough energy for a wireless sensor to operate. Using a Peltier element and a DC/DC converter, this method is ideal for self-powered heating valves that utilize the temperature difference between the heater and the environment to adjust settings and communicate via radio with a solar-powered room controller.
In combination with a wireless switch module, the kinetic energy converter enables numerous battery-free switch applications.
The solar cell powers EnOcean battery-free wireless sensors.
Use our thermal energy converter for battery-free wireless sensors and actuators.
At EnOcean, we have been leveraging renewable energy for over 20 years to power our self-powered wireless sensors and switches. Thanks to energy harvesting, our smart products eliminate the need for batteries and wires, operating independently with energy sourced from movement, light, or temperature.
We achieve sustainability by implementing technologies that consume minimal resources, enhancing energy efficiency in homes, buildings, and installations. This includes automatically lowering temperatures and turning off lights when rooms are unoccupied, or optimizing space usage when not needed.
Digitization with self-powered sensors that provide essential raw data makes this possible. Reducing the use of copper and PVC in walls (due to the absence of cables) and utilizing energy harvesting further contribute to sustainability.
