The pioneer of energy harvesting wireless technology; the EnOcean wireless standard is geared to wireless sensors and wireless sensor networks with ultra-low power consumption. It also includes sensor networks that utilize energy harvesting technology to draw energy from their surroundings – for example from motion, light or temperature differences. This principle enables electronic control systems to be used that work independently of an external power supply. The EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/ IEC 14543-3-1X) in sub 1GHz is optimized for use in buildings, as a radio range of 30m indoors is possible.
Interoperability of different end-products is an important success factor in establishing self-powered sensor solutions on the market. For this reason EnOcean Alliance pursues the standardization of communication profiles (EnOcean Equipment Profiles - EEPs), ensuring that sensors from one manufacturer can communicate with receiver gateways of another, for example. End-users thus have the entire product portfolio of self-powered wireless switches, sensors and controls at their disposal.
2- Main Parameters & Benefits
- High Reliability: License-free 868 MHz, 902 MHz and 928 MHz frequency bands with 1% duty cycle and a reliable radio range of approx. 30m indoors.
- Interoperability: Sensor profiles are standardized to ensure product interoperability across all product manufacturers and to provide interoperable system solution.
- Low Energy Requirements: Optimized for self-powered switches and sensors with a high data transmission rate of 125 kbit/s for sensor information.
3- Battery-less advantage: Install and Forget
Battery-less sensors and switches free building owners, facility managers, occupants, and contractors from maintenance effort and costs for typically 20 years or more. This “no maintenance” characteristic significantly reduces the TOC over the system’s whole lifecycle. It enables wireless components to be installed and forgotten just like wired-in controls, even in places that are difficult to reach. The elimination of battery access doors also simplifies embedding the wireless sensors and switches in door locks, window panes or cable locks while the energy harvesting modules allow smaller device form factors and environmentally sealed enclosures at the same time.
