At Light+Building EnOcean is presenting its solar-powered multisensor family STM 550, which integrates temperature, humidity, lighting, acceleration and magnetic contact sensors in a small case. Due to its small form factor and its wireless and maintenance-free operation, the multisensor is very flexible in use wherever data is required. In addition, communication via Bluetooth and the EnOcean radio standard enables seamless integration into intelligent systems. These features, together with the wide range of data generated, make the sensor the ideal complement for comprehensive IoT control solutions.

The integrated solar cell generates all the energy required for measurement and data communication from ambient light indoors. This energy is stored internally to ensure that the device can function for several days without light. For reliable operation, the sensor also reports the internal energy level and the amount of light available at the solar cell. The multisensor has an NFC interface, which makes it easy to configure and operate using an NFC reader, smartphone or tablet. The sensor module has been given the proven PTM 21x form factor. This is the first time EnOcean has transferred its established form factor to sensors. Manufacturers can now integrate the multisensor conveniently into a variety of switch ranges without expensive tool investment. This also gives manufacturers the freedom to use their own frame designs. Furthermore, the multisensor can be integrated directly into assets. The sensor is also available as an Easyfit product for the rapid implementation of proof of concepts.

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.
