EnOcean announced the launch of its 2nd generation Bluetooth switch module, the PTM 216B. Building on the foundation laid by the pioneering PTM 215B, the first-ever energy harvesting Bluetooth switch module, the PTM 216B represents a significant advancement in mesh network lighting control technology.
The PTM 216B module leverages the latest kinetic harvester, ECO 260, to enable a wide array of new applications. This innovative combination results in more than double the radio transmission power compared to the PTM 215B, considerably extending the communication range. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for controlling high-bay lighting in larger spaces like warehouses or architectural settings with high ceilings. The PTM 216B’s improved flexibility makes it ideal for modern offices with dynamic layouts, as it allows easy installation and repositioning without the need for complex wiring.
Quick and Easy Integration with NFC Technology Integration of EnOcean devices, including the PTM 216B, is simplified through Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. NFC facilitates swift, close-range wireless communication, streamlining the setup of lighting installations. This method is straightforward, requiring no special qualifications, and ensures quick, right-first-time installations without the need for revisits to adjust parameters.
Diverse Design Options through Extensive Partner Network EnOcean’s extensive partner and OEM network offers energy-harvesting switches based on the PTM 216B in various designs from multiple global manufacturers. These designs seamlessly integrate into any setting, and the use of the “Battery-free by EnOcean” brand by official switch OEM partners guarantees the authenticity of EnOcean’s technology for truly maintenance-free operation.
Showcasing at Light + Building 2024 The PTM 216B module will be featured at EnOcean’s booth at Light + Building in Frankfurt, scheduled for March 3-8, 2024. The focus of EnOcean at this event will be on sustainable IoT for green and healthy buildings. The showcase will include new energy harvesting products, IoT solutions, and smart servers that aid in data analysis and informed decision-making for optimising building performance.
