Power
EnOcean uses properitary power harvesting techniques. The company’s products (such as sensors and radio switches) have no battery and are engineered to operate maintenance-free. Early switches from the company used piezo generators, but these have been replaced with electromagnetic energy sources to reduce the operating pressure (7 newtons), and increase the service life to 50,000 operations.
Software
EnOcean wireless modules always come with software. The aim in every case is easy use of the technology without special knowledge. Specific software for tranceiver modules includes:
