Standard-crossing
advancements lead the way to a connected world integrating energy
harvesting wireless control and leading protocols such as IoTivity,
AllJoyn, IBM Watson and Hemis.
San Ramon, CA/Las Vegas, NV – December 13, 2016 – At the 2017
International CES (Las Vegas, January 5-8, 2017), the EnOcean Alliance
will show its advancements of a self-powered Internet of Things (IoT).
This includes a cooperation with the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF)
and with industry leader IBM to develop interoperable self-powered
wireless solutions as a standard for the Internet of Things. At CES
2017, the EnOcean Alliance will be showing maintenance-free wireless
products working within the OCF eco-system, helping to create a fully
connected and interoperable smart home and smart building solution.
EnOcean Alliance promoter BSC Computer and member Digital Concepts will
demonstrate gateway solutions to enable seamless communication in the
IoT by connecting the EnOcean wireless standard with leading protocols
like IoTivity, AllJoyn and IBM Watson. Together with EnOcean Alliance
promoter IBM, the organization will be showing the self-powered “sensor
to cloud” IoT solution, which enables the integration of EnOceanīs
wireless technology into the IBM Watson IoT Platform to conduct
predictive and real-time analysis of facilities. Furthermore, the
EnOcean Alliance will be demonstrating the latest speech controlled
home automation systems, for example switching on lights or closing the
blinds. The EnOcean Alliance has made this possible through the
creation of the latest EnOcean to IP and remote commissioning
specification, which will also be integrated in the new specification
program of the organization. Thus, the EnOcean Alliance combines its
expertise in battery-less, wireless smart buildings and smart homes
with the approach of an interoperable, standard-crossing communication
platform connecting everything.
Visitors to CES can learn more about the EnOcean Alliance’s IoT
approach at the partner booth of the Open Connectivity Foundation
(Sands, #40930) and at the Ubiant booth (Sands, #41363).
The EnOcean Alliance is one of the most established organizations in
the field of smartly connected buildings. Its mission is to enable and
promote intelligent buildings, smart home and IoT applications through
the creation of a broad range of interoperable battery-less and
wireless solutions. More than 400 member companies already have
established a broad solution portfolio based on the EnOcean wireless
standard. This enables devices to work without wires and batteries for
a highly flexible and maintenance-free operation.
Way to a battery-less IoT
“Thanks to our cooperation with strong partners, we build the basis to
directly connect battery-less sensor solutions to the Internet and thus
to open IoT platforms. The user doesn’t need to worry about the
technology used by the single components but can benefit from a
seamless connectivity in his smart home – the main concept of the IoT,”
says Graham Martin, Chairman of the EnOcean Alliance.
Visitors to the show can experience the EnOcean Alliance’s IoT approach at the following booths:
Open Connectivity Foundation (Sands, #40930): The Open Connectivity
Foundation (OCF) and the EnOcean Alliance partner to deliver seamless,
interoperable connectivity for the Internet of Things. The two
organizations and its members work together to enable self-powered
wireless solutions using the OCF interoperable specification framework
for industry-crossing communication in the IoT. The OCF framework works
horizontally across and between IoT vertical segments and will benefit
companies that want to develop products to address these markets. Using
the OCF standard will remove the various “island” solutions and instead
provide a common solution for smart home, industrial, healthcare and
more. The OCF unifies the entirety of the former Open Interconnect
Consortium (OIC) with leading companies at all levels – silicon,
software, platform, and finished-goods – dedicated to providing this
key interoperability element of an IoT solution.
Ubiant (Sands, #41363): Ubiant will demonstrate its self-learning cloud
solution called hemis. It is based on artificial intelligence to
minimize energy consumption in buildings while maximizing the
residents’ well-being. The system’s core is a cloud platform that
connects applications for lighting, HVAC or blind control, as well as
battery-less, wireless sensors and actuators or mobile devices, based
on the EnOcean wireless standard. The Quickmove standard allows users
to install, move or remove all components of the smart home system
using a NFC-enabled mobile phone or tablet. Part of the hemis portfolio
is Luminion, a smart candlestick visualizing energy consumption and
comparing it to the hemis community.
Self-powered wireless sensors
In addition to EnOcean Alliance’s presence, several of its partners will be exhibiting at CES 2017 as well, including:
BSC Computer and Digital Concepts (Sands, #40930):
Gateway manufacturers BSC Computer and Digital Concepts will be
demonstrating gateway solutions for seamless communication by
connecting the EnOcean energy harvesting wireless standard (ISO/IEC
14543-3-1X) with the Internet Protocol (IP). Thus, sensors and remote
configurable actuators, can be linked to the Internet. This is the
foundation for the Internet of Things (IoT), a fully interoperable
network, where data collected once can be reused for intelligent
control of different devices regardless of the used technology, radio
or manufacturer.
EnOcean (Sands, #40464): EnOcean, the inventor and world leader in
energy harvesting wireless technology, will demonstrate self-powered
wireless solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT) at CES 2017. In the
Smart Home Marketplace, the company will show how wireless switches,
sensors and actuators can be powered by energy out of motion, light and
temperature. The energy harvesting devices, devoid of wires and
batteries, enable highly flexible and maintenance-free applications for
smart homes and cloud services on the way to the Internet of Things.

EnOceanīs more than 15 years experience in energy-harvesting, ultra-low
power wireless communication and energy management, we enable
self-powered wireless sensor solutions for the Internet of Things”,
says Andreas Schneider, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of
EnOcean. “Together with strong partners, we will continue developing
exciting new self-powered, maintenance-free applications for our
customer’s sensor solutions in the Internet of
Things.”
NodOn (Sands, #40248): NodOn will present its plug&play NodOn smart
home portfolio based on the EnOcean standard. A new highlight is the
In-Wall Module, a little device, which can easily be mounted behind an
existing wired wall switch. Within just a few minutes, the switch can
talk EnOcean radio thanks to the little module. Thus, a formerly
classical wired switch can now be seamlessly integrated in an
EnOcean-based smart home. Using the module, the switch can be connected
to the NodOn Home Automation Gateway or to several battery-less
wireless controllers such as the NodOn Soft Remote, Wall Switch or Card
Switch. Even an additional toggle switch can be added in less than ten
minutes without any construction work needed. In addition, the NodOn
portfolio also offers a Smart Plug that allows wireless control of
electrical devices by using an EnOcean-compliant home automation
gateway or a battery-less switch, and solar-powered Indoor Opening
Sensors and Indoor Temperature Sensors.
Additional members of the EnOcean Alliance exhibiting IoT solutions at
CES 2017 include: Haier (LVCC, Central Hall, #15029), Honeywell
International (Sands, Halls A-D, #42118), IBM (Veronese Suite, #2405),
MyFox (Sands, #40944) and Zipato (Sands, #40227). Additionally, a
common solution of EnOcean Alliance member products will be shown at
the booth of Digitalstrom (Sands, #40139). Visitors to the show can
also experience a new IoT solution by ENKI/Adeo (Eureka Park SANDS/
Floor 1/Hall G).
