EasySens - the progressive radio sensor system
At last, building control technology is experiencing a comprehensive product line of sensors and receivers making it possible to build up wire-less and maintenance-free sensors within buildings
By integrating an innovative, solar-powered radio transmission technique based on the EnOcean standard, the devices operate without batteries.
Due to the maintenance-free operation and radio transmission, the sensors are working anywhere.
One year after the product introduction, various sensor types for temperature monitoring, detection of relative humidity, set point adjustment and status detection are available.

Just half a year after the launch of the first EasySens products, cooperation between Thermokon and EnOcean is showing signs of a significant impact, with several major European installations
Combined temperature and CO2 sensor
This model is designed for the detection of carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature in living spaces, using non dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology with automatic self-calibration
Of course, the current product line is continuously being extended, to offer a complete programme for other physical variables and their applications as well.
Special emphasis is given to the latest product SR04 RH combining the detection of relative humidity and temperature in living spaces.
On request, this sensor can also be supplied with further operating elements.
The output of the measured values is made with a resolution of 8-Bit and an accuracy of +/- 3% for relative humidity and +/- 1% for temperature.
The receiving module SRC-FTT is used as a gateway between EasySens and LON.
The node receives and manages the radio sensors and outputs all measuring values received with standard network variables according to the LonMark prescriptions.
Thus, a connection to higher-graded control systems can be realised easily.
Another advantage of the standardised radio transmission is provided by the fact that the gateway cannot only receive Thermokon sensors, but also other equipment, such as light keys from the company PEHA.
The standard radio telegram consists of 14 data bytes, including among others four data bytes with effective information such as temperature, humidity as well as 4 other data bytes with the ID number of the sensors.
By means of the 32-bit-ID, a radio sensor is clearly described and can be identified by the radio receiver.
The allocation of the individual output variables can be made similar to the installation of LON devices.
The sensor ID can either be written directly into the configuration parameters EnOcean-ID or it can be automatically stored by actuating the learning button on the sensor.
Further information can be seen on the website.
