Echoflex’ solutions provide distributed switch and sensor deployment that are wireless and self powered – no line voltage, no batteries required – giving autonomous control of a space without the maintenance burden that is associated with other wireless solutions.
Energy Harvesting Transmitters
Echoflex switches and sensors use energy harvesting to generate the power needed to operate the radios. Energy harvesting makes them truly wireless with installation as simple as peel ‘n stick and no batteries making them friendly to the ecology.
Unique Radio Codes
Each controller, switch or sensor has a unique 32 bit code embedded in the radio. In practical terms, this means there are over 4 billion radio codes. When a transmitter is linked to a receiver, the radio code is used as the identifier. Each telegram sent by the transmitters use the radio code so only those devices linked will respond to the telegram.
Transmitters only send
Each switch or sensor only transmits a value, for switches the value is ON or OFF. Sensor transmissions contain analog values representing some monitored element such as light level, occupancy status, temperature, humidity, etc. These transmitters do not have any intelligence outside of the ability to monitor a value and represent the state as a digital word.
Transmitters can be linked to an unlimited number of receivers
Transmitters only know how to talk so there is an unlimited number of receivers who can be linked to the transmitter. As long as the two devices are within the transmission distance of each other then they can be linked. Linking a transmitter to a receiver is limited only by range not by the number of receivers. Any Echoflex controller can be configured as a single-hop repeater to increase the range between a transmitter and receiver.
Receivers can have 30 transmitters linked
A receiver or controller can learn up to 30 switches or sensors. One of these can be a photo sensor and the balance switches, occupancy sensors or some other transmitter.
