Battery-less and Low-Power<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ultra-low power RF silicon uses many orders of magnitude less power for devices in locations where battery replacement is not an option and the mesh network saves even more energy by reducing packet length, round-trips, connection rediscovery, and on-network time for devices that may be offline for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Residential<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Green Power adds convenience to the smart home by allowing residents to use long lasting devices with no need to replace batteries. Kinetically powered switch sensors can be integrated directly into products, like light switches, doors, windows, etc. These devices generate energy solely from the user\u2019s normal, everyday hand movements of pressing a button, opening something, or rotating a handle \u2013 and they work for the entire lifetime of the product. The sensors also generate their energy only from sunlight or ambient light while eliminating the need for a back-up battery.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Commercial<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Green Power shines in commercial installations by allowing for a wireless and battery-less installation that means ultimate flexibility in an adaptive environment. Green Power helps reduce switching costs and upkeep of an installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the industrial space, on assembly line fabrication machines, vibration, movement and other factors make wiring difficult and costly. Being able to place a wireless button in an effective location for the operator of the machine is important, especially when safety is critical.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Utility \/ Energy<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Green Power reduces cost in the utility space by harvesting energy in smart breakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By harvesting the energy flowing through a smart breaker, Green Power isolates the breaker logic, takes less space, and is less costly to produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart circuit breakers monitor energy use and can detect uncharacteristic consumption which can prevent equipment failure and reduce cost.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
