At booth #A 124, the technology provider will be demonstrating smart building and IoT solutions based on energy harvesting wireless switches and sensors which deliver the needed data for the digitalization of systems, services and buildings.

Oberhaching, Germany/Barcelona, Spain – September 26, 2018 – At IoT Solutions World Congress 2018 in Barcelona (October 16-18, 2018), EnOcean, world leader in energy harvesting wireless technology, presents the abilities of batteryless wireless solutions, only powered by their surroundings, for the Internet of Things (IoT). At booth #A 124 (Gran Via, Hall 2, Level 0), visitors can experience maintenance-free sensors and switches, based on the EnOcean (ISO/IEC 14543-3-1x) and Bluetooth® standard, which offer highest flexibility to deliver reliable sensor data for an increasing digitalization of buildings and their environments. Connected with IoT systems from partners like IBM and Microsoft, the self-powered solutions help optimize the utilization of buildings, create new facility services and business models as well as innovative assisted living and lighting systems.

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables the digital transformation of buildings. The result is a digital building twin that virtually maps the need for use. This leads to automated service processes in facility management, demand-based lighting control, higher energy savings and more individual user satisfaction.

“The Internet of Things transforms data into a valuable asset for new business models and the digitalization of our living and working environment. With thousands of data points in a building this can only be realized with battery-free wireless sensors. They can flexibly be placed wherever needed and expanded at any time”, says Armin Anders, Vice President Business Development, EnOcean GmbH. “Due to their maintenance-free operation, EnOcean’s self-powered wireless solutions provide highest reliability at the right cost-benefit ratio.”

Self-powered sensor solutions for EnOcean and Bluetooth® standard

At the show, EnOcean will be presenting self-powered wireless switches and sensors for maintenance-free applications optimized for building automation and providing reliable data to IoT systems, such as occupancy, temperature, humidity, and light level as well as acceleration sensing to determine the usage intensity of appliances and furnitures. These maintenance-free solutions use the EnOcean wireless standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3-1X) on the sub 1 GHz band. In addition, the technology provider will be showing its self-powered Easyfit sensor solutions for Bluetooth® lighting systems on 2.4 GHz. All products are based on EnOcean’s proven energy harvesting technology which enables sensors to be powered by kinetic energy, light or temperature differences, eliminating the need for wires and batteries. More information on EnOcean’s self-powered wireless sensor solutions for the Internet of Things can be found here.

Key technology for intelligent IoT

For the digital transformation of buildings, EnOcean partners with leading IoT players such as IBM and Microsoft to enable flexible intelligent systems. Thereby an IoT gateway interconnects the self-powered sensors and actuators over the Internet with cloud-based platforms such as IBM Watson and Microsoft Azure. In these systems sensor data can be used to optimize the occupancy of space and thus the use of cost-intensive resources such as heating, air conditioning or lighting. This allows facility managers to develop and automate new services including space utilization, building asset or restroom management. Sensor-based control is also essential for insurance purposes. Operators of apartments suitable for seniors can use sensor data for various assisted living functionalities in the rent as part of a service package.

Maintenance-free lighting control solutions

Wireless lighting networks are another IoT core application of EnOcean sensors and IoT platforms. They serve as the IoT data backbone in buildings and can transport information from a variety of sensors to make buildings smarter, safer and more comfortable. Energy harvesting sensors using the EnOcean standard can provide this data quickly, conveniently and without the need for maintenance, making EnOcean a major partner, enabling a key technology for IoT solutions and sustainable smart lighting control.

For intelligent lighting control, EnOcean partners with Bluetooth® lighting players including Fulham, Helvar, Sylvania, Casambi, Silvair, Vossloh-Schwabe Lighting Solutions, Wirepas and Xicato as well as IT players such as Aruba.

Easyfit switches for Bluetooth lighting systems

EnOcean now offers wireless and self-powered wall switches for Bluetooth lighting control systems. The Easyfit Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) switches are available in two different design versions: The Easyfit switch with standardized 55x55mm frame (EWSSB/EWSDB) allows installers to easily replace any 55×55 switch frame from a number of renowned manufacturers such as BERKER, GIRA, Jäger Direkt, JUNG and MERTEN. The second design is the Easyfit switch for North America (ESRPB/EDRPB).

The self-powered and wireless Easyfit switches can be commissioned by Near Field Communication (NFC) to allow simple or complex lighting scenes and effects, and enable easy, flexible installation of lighting applications. The wireless Easyfit switches are maintenance-free as they do not require batteries, freely positionable and allow flexible control as well as intuitive usage.

Easyfit BLE switches are supported by Casambi, Silvair and Xicato, offering self-powered control solutions for Bluetooth lighting systems in 2.4 GHz

Casambi has integrated a support for the Easyfit switches to work seamlessly within Casambi’s Bluetooth networked lighting controls. Equipped with NFC technology, the Easyfit wall switches enable fast and simple commissioning and allow controlling individual luminaires, groups of luminaires, scenes and animations in Casambi lighting control solutions.

With the Mesh Stack, Silvair provides a wireless communication engine for robust and fully scalable mesh lighting. The integration of Easyfit switches into the Mesh allows an optimal, maintenance-free control of lighting systems with low latency, even in high-density lighting networks. It can be updated over-the-air to become compliant with the upcoming Bluetooth Mesh standard following its adoption.

Xicato´s XIM Gen4 LED lighting modules plus EnOcean´s Easyfit switches for Bluetooth Low Energy are ideal for retail and commercial applications requiring California Title 24 compliance. The combination of the energy harvesting wireless Easyfit switches with the features of Xicato´s LED lighting modules allows simple or complex lighting scenarios, and enables flexible installation. These self-powered lighting solutions are used in some of the world’s finest museums, retail stores, hotels and residences.
