ILLUMRA announced the release of a new solar-powered wireless Door/Window Sensor. This new product maximizes the energy savings of heating and air conditioning systems by providing wireless status of windows and/or doors. Energy waste can be reduced by 20 to 60 percent by disabling blowers and/or adjusting temperature set-points in HVAC systems when windows and doors are left open. The wireless sensor is a key component to reducing energy waste in hotel, condominium, and dormitory buildings, the company said.

The sensor communicates using the EnOcean protocol to a variety of compatible actuator and controller products: thermostats, relays, room controllers; as well as BACnet and Ethernet gateways for integration with energy management systems. The sensor also includes on-board energy storage that can operate the device in darkness for several days.

Measuring only 3.86 x .62 x .81 inches (98.04 x 15.75 x 20.57 mm), it attaches easily to doors and windows (peel and stick). The ILLUMRA light sensor is made of recyclable plastic, is RoHS compliant, qualifies for LEED credits and helps buildings comply with International Green Construction Code standard 189.1.
