ZF presents the world’s first wireless energy harvesting KNX light switch module that is configurable via ETS (from ETS5).
The wireless light switch module is versatile and easy to integrate, creating significant freedom during the planning stage. With the ability to communicate without the need for a gateway, there are many potential applications, e.g. flexible room partitions in functional buildings, glass walls. The module is a self-sufficient and maintenance-free solution requiring no cabling and no batteries.
Already in serial production, the wireless light switch module comes ready to install. It is compatible with standard frames and panels for energy harvesting light switch modules and can also be combined with customer-specific designs and control panels.
The actuation of the unit produces enough electrical energy to transmit a complete KNX-RF protocol in S-mode directly to any KNX-receiver.
