Lighting Manufacturers Can Now Provide a Physical Switch to Control Smart Light Bulbs and Lighting Systems with Battery-Free and Reliable Self-Powered Switches
ILLUMRA is expanding its lineup of proven
Self-Powered Wireless Switch options to include support for ZigBee, all
designed to support battery-less and wire-free installation in
residential and commercial smart buildings.
ILLUMRA’s ZigBee Switch, leveraging EnOcean technology, provides users
wireless control of their lighting and automation systems, faster
installation, and lower maintenance costs using battery-free
energy-harvesting technology. The energy harvesting mechanism is
powered by the motion of the user pressing the switch and is designed
to operate maintenance-free for 20+ years. ILLUMRA Self-Powered
switches have been reliably controlling EnOcean compatible lighting
systems for 10 years.
The Self-Powered ZigBee Switch is available to OEM companies for
control of LED light bulbs, dimmers, and lighting control systems, and
is available with custom branding options.
The Self-Powered Wireless Light Switch with ZigBee Green Power creates new opportunities for wireless controls:
- Install a switch anywhere in a room––no wiring required
- Control ZigBee compatible lights, thermostats, and other wireless devices
- Transmit data on both the switch press and release to support both on/off and dimming controls
- ZigBee Green Power and ZigBee 3.0 compatible
“Until now, ZigBee controls required
either smartphone apps, or battery or line powered switches,” said Jan
Finlinson, President of ILLUMRA. “We are excited to offer the proven
Self-Powered Wireless Switch technology to ZigBee OEMs to enable
flexible switch placement, no new wires, and no maintenance to simplify
installation.”
“ILLUMRA has been providing reliable control solutions for 10 years,”
explained Jim O’Callahan, President of EnOcean, Inc. “Their expertise
and track record of delivering innovative building control solutions
will accelerate the adoption of the EnOcean energy-harvesting
technology within the ZigBee community.”
