Energy harvesting multisensor for building automation and IoT

Energy harvesting pioneer enocean presents a new one multisensor. In the manufacturer's PTM form factor for maintenance-free wireless switches and sensors, the sensor module provides data for building automation and the Internet of Things (IoT). The integrated solar cell generates all the energy required for operation.

Enocean develops new technologies for the battery-less radio technology. So be Building intelligent and sustained. By means of energy harvesting or the extraction of energy from light, movement and temperature differences, the components are energy self-sufficient. This means that they are maintenance-free and can be used exactly where data is needed.

Multi-sensor in a standardized form factor

The STM 550 multi-sensor family measures lighting, temperature, humidity, acceleration and magnetic contact. The energy harvesting innovation is available for the in-house radio standard and BluetoothSystems. The multi-sensor is therefore particularly attractive for applications in digitized buildings and in the IoT.

Radar technology improves short-range detection in buildings

The manufacturer has the original PTM form factor of his PTM radio switch module for the first time Sensors transfer. Thus the multisensor fits into all common switch frames. The manufacturers with switch solutions based on the PTM module only have to adapt new front panels to the respective frame design.

The new multi-sensor is also available as a Easyfit product. With it, new applications can be implemented quickly. Via the integrated Solar cell the sensor supplies itself with energy. It stores these over several days with little or no light for uninterrupted function.

Energy Harvesting Sensor runs maintenance-free

The Energy Harvesting Sensor sends reports on the Solar cell amount of light available and the internal energy level. This is how the STM 550 completely maintenance-free. The multi-sensor can be integrated directly into a wide variety of assets and used exactly where the data is needed, such as on ceilings, walls, doors, windows, furniture, air conditioning, towel rails or copiers, printers, medical equipment as well as vending machines.

"The increasing spread of IoT applications requires more and more data that can be generated maintenance-free and in real time at any location," says Matthew Kassner, Vice President Product Marketing, Enocean GmbH. “The new Enocean multisensor delivers exactly this data. Thanks to the widespread original PTM form factor, it can be quickly integrated into existing customer designs and thus enables innovative sensor solutions to be implemented in the shortest possible time. "

Commissioning via NFC interface

The Energy Harvesting Multisensor can be easily configured and put into operation via the integrated NFC interface. Just a tablet or smartphone or PC with you NFC reader are required for this. The manufacturer's own Enocean Tool app serves as the interface between the device and the multisensor. This allows important parameters to be determined and the multisensor to be integrated into existing systems. The app is available free of charge for mobile devices with the iOS and Android operating systems in the respective app store.

Multi-sensor for extensive home automation

Heinrich Kopp is already using the new multi-sensor. “The energy self-sufficient multisensor supports our idea of ​​the extensive Home automationskconcept. Due to the flexible use, we can capture a variety of situations and corresponding scenarios and reactions of the Automation let it happen, ”says Stephan Dörrschuck, CEO of Heinrich Kopp GmbH. “The problem-free integration through Bluetooth fits perfectly into our strategy of simple and intuitive installation. It's nice that this cooperation has come about. "

Auch Eltako has expanded its product portfolio to include the Energy Harvesting Multisensor: "The solar multisensor is the perfect addition to our extensive product range", so Ulrich Horst Ziegler, CEO of Eltako. “Because of the original PTM form factor, we can easily integrate the sensor into our switch designs and deliver one to the end user Unprecedented range of functions. In addition, we have developed our own mini housing for the radio mini multisensor FMMS44. We are very happy about this new sensor all-rounder. "
