EnOcean

What EnOcean does

EnOcean GmbH is a German privately held IoT company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Munich (relocated to a central 1,000 sqm site in May 2026), with 51-100 employees and operating subsidiaries in the United States (EnOcean Inc. and EnOcean Edge Inc.). The company develops and markets energy harvesting wireless technology that enables battery-free, wire-free sensors and switches for smart building, industrial IoT, and selected aviation applications. Its core technology stack harvests energy from ambient sources — kinetic motion (ECO 260 harvester, PTM switch modules), indoor light (ECS 300 solar cell operating at 200 lux with 4-day reserves), and temperature differentials as small as 2°C (ECT 310 Perpetuum) — and combines these with ultra-low-power radio modules supporting three protocol families: EnOcean sub-GHz radio (868/902/928 MHz regionally), 2.4 GHz Zigbee Green Power, and 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy with NFC commissioning.

EnOcean sells through a three-layer business model: (1) OEM module and component sales to manufacturers who embed EnOcean technology into their products (PTM, STM, TCM series modules, ECO/ECS/ECT energy converters), (2) finished-product sales under the Easyfit consumer-facing brand (wireless rocker switches and pads across BLE/Zigbee/EnOcean variants), and (3) platform/edge solutions including the multi-protocol SmartServer IoT edge server (supporting BACnet, Modbus, LON) and the SmartStudio web-based monitoring software. Distribution combines direct regional OEM sales teams (DACH, Northern/Western Europe, North America, Japan, Asia) with global electronics distributors (Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow, Farnell, Future Electronics, RS Components, Rutronik) and e-commerce via cdistore.com. The EnOcean Alliance, founded and led by EnOcean, has grown to 400+ member companies, providing interoperability standards and ecosystem reach that is the company's strongest competitive asset. Notable enterprise customers include Henkel (China HQ), Safran Cabin (aviation catering trolleys via Undagrid), BMAC (transportation halt-request systems), and government/healthcare/educational deployments across Japan, the USA, and Europe.

Core offering

EnOcean develops and manufactures battery-free, wire-free wireless sensors, switches, and IoT edge computing solutions that harvest energy from ambient kinetic motion, light, and temperature differences. The portfolio spans OEM-integrable modules, finished Easyfit consumer products, the multi-protocol SmartServer IoT edge server, and developer tools (SmartStudio, DolphinAPI, EnOcean Link middleware) for smart building, industrial, aviation, and asset tracking applications.

Product overview

EnOcean is a German IoT company specializing in energy harvesting wireless technology for self-powered, battery-free sensors and switches in smart building and industrial IoT applications. The product portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on energy harvesting as the core enabling technology. At the foundation are energy converters (ECO 260 kinetic harvester, ECS 300 solar cell, ECT 310 thermal converter) that harvest energy from motion, light, or temperature. These power radio transmitter modules (PTM 216B/BLE, PTM 216Z/Zigbee, PTM 535, STM 300, STM 350, STM 330/331, STM 400J, STM 431J, STM 550) and finished sensor products (STM 550 KIT, EMDC motion detector, EOSW occupancy sensor, EMCS magnet contact sensor, ELLSU light level sensor). Communication is enabled through transceiver modules (TCM 615, TCM 515, TCM 320) and gateways (USB 300), with the SmartServer IoT acting as the multi-protocol edge server bridging EnOcean, BACnet, Modbus, and LON networks. Control actuators include the LED Relay Zone Controller (LEDRU) for lighting control. Development is supported through EnOcean SmartStudio (web-based monitoring platform), EnOcean Link (middleware), DolphinAPI (programming interface), EISKA/EISKU starter kits, and NFC commissioning tools (EnOcean NFC Configurator PC app, EnOcean Tool mobile app, Navigan NWC 500U). EnOcean's products support three wireless standards: sub-GHz EnOcean radio (868/902/928 MHz depending on region), 2.4 GHz Zigbee Green Power, and 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy. Products are available as components (for OEM integration), modules, and finished products (Easyfit brand). Several products carry DesignLights Consortium (DLC) listing for utility rebate eligibility in North America.
