The enhanced EMDC energy-harvesting motion and activity sensor family marks a significant leap forward in smart building technology. For the first time, it allows users to seamlessly monitor room occupancy, light levels, and people's activities through one single, self-powered sensor. Hence it provides a simplified solution for smart building implementation.

Utilizing occupancy and light level data, the sensor automates lighting control, ensuring optimal energy efficiency by activating lights when a person enters a room with insufficient ambient light and deactivating them when the room becomes vacant.

Beyond lighting control, the sensor's occupancy data enables streamlined tracking and optimization of workspaces and meeting rooms. Users can easily locate available meeting rooms which saves time and effort on their end. Services like office or restroom cleaning can be scheduled based on real-time utilization instead of fixed schedules, which leads to cost reductions.

The latest update introduces an activity sensor, quantifying detected motion events. This feature offers insights into the level of activity and utilization within different building areas, providing a nuanced understanding of space dynamics.

True to the commitment EnOcean has towards sustainability, the EMDC sensor operates self-sufficiently through energy harvesting, eliminating the need for batteries and ensuring a maintenance-free experience.
