Over a year ago, a group of building controls manufacturers formed the EnOcean Alliance to promote interoperable wireless sensor networks based on the EnOcean wireless standard. Today, 113 companies, including Leviton, Masco, Distech Controls, Philips Ledalite and Osram Sylvania have engineered products that use wireless and energy harvesting sensors, switches and controls.
According to EnOcean, 80% of the companies demonstrating wireless lighting controls at Lightfair were based on the EnOcean Standard and more than 100,000 buildings are benefiting from having the technology installed.
I have to admit I love this technology: The controls regenerate power for radio communications using ambient sources of energy such as light, temperature and motion. And they are interoperable regardless of the manufacturer.
