AFRISO is continuously expanding its smart home portfolio, thereby offering customized solutions from a single source. The latest additions are a door and window contact as well as a temperature and humidity sensor. Both products use the EnOcean wireless standard and harvest their energy with a miniature solar cell. As a result, they require no maintenance and can be effortlessly glued to the right location.
The AMC 20 door and window contact
is a self-powered and wireless sensor that signals any change in status, “window/door open/closed”, to the AFRISOhome gateway via a magnetic contact. In a smart home, it can be used flexibly for a wide range of security and comfort applications.
The FTM 20 TF temperature and humidity sensor
measures the room temperature [-20°C/60°C] and humidity at regular intervals and immediately signals any significant change in the values to the AFRISOhome gateway. This data is then used as parameters, for example to control the AVD 30 self-powered radiator valves, the CosiTherm individual room temperature controller or exhaust fans with EnOcean wireless technology.
Light as a source of energy
Thanks to a solar cell, both sensors gain their energy from the ambient light, so that they require no maintenance and can operate without a battery (which can be optionally used). An integrated energy store ensures that the sensors can operate in total darkness for several days.
Flexible mounting with adhesive tape
Thanks to their compact housing, the sensors can be easily attached to windows, door frames or cabinet doors as well as to walls and furniture using double-sided adhesive tape. As an option, the FTM 20 TF can also be placed with a metal plate on a horizontal surface, such as shelves, sideboards or windowsills.
