The new EnOcean Pi board from element14 connects energy harvesting wireless devices with the Raspberry Pi to help control networks and automation systems at home or in the workplace. The module connects to batteryless EnOcean modules that are powered by energy converters that use mechanical motion, light or temperature differences as an energy source. This allows for maintenance-free sensor and actuator solutions that provide the necessary data for intelligent control.
Developers and OEMs can easily design low-cost gateways for embedded applications, such as smart home solutions. Instead of developing new products from scratch, developers can use the EnOcean Pi and Raspberry Pi to create a ready-made smart home box, which can process and visualise data from batteryless wireless sensors and provide central control of a wireless connected house. Other applications are gateways for cloud services or low-cost building automation with an interface to all EnOcean-based solutions.
The accessory is supplied with free-to-download EnOcean Link Trial Version middleware that allows users to quickly develop and integrate applications. The Raspberry Pi acts as the gateway to automate control of EnOcean-based energy harvesting wireless sensors, thermostats and switches to comfortably manage lighting, HVAC and shading, and help to save energy.
EnOcean Pi also features EnOcean’s Smart Ack controller functionality, enabling bidirectional communication via radio and serial interfaces. Radio messages can be sent transparently through the serial interface in both directions to and from the Pi. EnOcean Pi can act as postmaster for up to 20 bidirectional sensors using Smart Ack technology.
