It allows an entry point to revolutionary technology for experimentation and prototype applications by innovators from business or the maker community.
The design utilises energy harvesting technology, removing most of the design and application barriers to allow for rapid deployment of the concept and technology.
Energy harvesting technology uses energy from movement, light and temperature to power sensors and radio communications with ambient energy.
For the maker market, this represents a significant opportunity. Rather than managing complex wiring within designs, the self-powered device from EnOcean can simply be placed into an existing installation. The switch application enables flexible lighting control in places without cables.
Switches can easily be added where they are needed, for example, next to a bed, and the partnership with 3YOURMIND, means that switches can designed to seamlessly integrate into the end design, without the ‘made by hand’ look.
