The National Electrical Code (NEC) published by the NFPA 70 is the guiding force for electrical safety in the US. It has been shaping regulations since 1897. The NEC is crucial for electricians in the US, ensuring safe electrical practices across residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. 2023 NEC update challenges battery-powered switches However, the 2023 […]
In a world where sustainability is the name of the game, EnOcean is quietly making a big impact in the fight against climate change. Our innovative energy harvesting wireless technology is helping save over 1.4 million tons of CO2 emissions every year. That’s equivalent to taking roughly 304,348 cars off the road for an entire […]
For the first time EnOcean exhibited at Bluetooth World – and it was a great place to be. We experienced an inspiring knowledge exchange with leading manufacturers and experts from the Bluetooth SIG. There was a lot of excitement about our self-powered solutions for Bluetooth® lighting systems as they enable maintenance-free, ready-to-use control and data […]
Our 2nd tutorial video explains the energy harvesting technology from EnOcean which enables wireless switches and sensors to work without batteries. Learn about the technology’s benefits and the wide range of applications for smart buildings using the EnOcean standard.
Troy Davis is Sales Director at EnOcean Inc. In his job, he sees Bluetooth Low Energy Mesh for lighting control expanding rapidly. It is also a boon for battery makers, but in his article, Troy explains why there is a better way. The future looks very bright for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Mesh lighting control. […]

EnOcean will market its complete product portfolio of energy harvesting wireless modules and white label products with EnOcean wireless technology on the sub 1 GHz band and for use in ZigBee and BLE systems on the 2.4 GHz frequency band under the brand name “Dolphin – Self-powered IoT by EnOcean.” Networked devices form the basis […]
Beacons are special transmitters that emit short wireless telegrams in the briefest possible time intervals – much like a lighthouse. The use of these transmitters has been growing rapidly for a number of years now. As the number of beacons in the Internet of Things (IoT) increases, so does the demand for self-powered, maintenance-free solutions. […]
Easy and cost-effective The EnOcean Switch Design Kit (ESDK) is aimed primarily at the maker community. Makers need attractive prototypes that can be produced as quickly as possible with the least amount of effort. While the implementation of a housing used to require a design expert and an outlay of several tens of thousands of […]
Energy harvesting wireless technology allows various switches and sensors to work without wires or batteries. They can be installed in less than ten minutes, as opposed to traditional switches, which can take 3 hours and 20 minutes (since you have to open up walls, run wires, install the switch, fix the hole, repaint, etc). What […]
For centuries, people have been looking for ways to store electrical energy so that it can be used later on. While batteries offer a way to do this, they also have many weaknesses. Energy harvesting, on the other hand, uses sources of energy that are available in the immediate surroundings, anywhere and anytime. This technology […]
