Green – energy harvesting wireless switches and sensors from EnOcean collect and save the tiniest amounts of energy from their environment
Sensor modules from EnOcean harvest tiny amounts of energy from their surroundings, enabling them to register detected values and transmit them wirelessly. Surrounding sources of useful energy are: linear motion / pressure, light, temperature change, rotation and vibration.
Energy harvesting
EnOcean's technical breakthrough was to reduce the energy needed to transmit a signal to an incredibly small amount. As a result, EnOcean energy harvesting wireless sensors can work where other technologies cannot. A simple example is that of our energy harvesting wireless switches and sensors, which can even operate inside buildings where light levels are low.

Further energy converters for energy harvesting wireless applications
- Rotation converter
Gas and water meters rotate just like car tires and tools, and you cannot fit cables for measurement - an ideal application for wireless sensors powered by the energy of rotation. - Vibration converter
Machines, motor vehicles, persons when they are running and many technical devices generate vibrations – why not make use of it?
