Saving Power With Wireless Motion- and Temperature Sensors

SASSENHEIM, The Netherlands, July 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

This is the reasoning behind all of Plugwise's activities. Rightly so, as user data from Plugwise customers show that on average almost half of the electricity used is outside office hours. Switch your appliances on and off when necessary. Even when you are not present. The Plugwise system centralises control of energy consumption of individual devices. You can control all equipment that has been connected to Plugwise, from 1 location.

Now Plugwise introduces two unique products worldwide: the Scan and the Sense.

The Plugwise Scan light sensor and motion detector introduces many new features to the Plugwise system. Where saving energy was possible in many ways, it is now also possible to control your lighting with the Scan, using motion detection and light levels. The Scan is also a datalogger providing insight into optimal usage of your building. And saving energy is just the beginning. The Scan provides the Plugwise system with information about the occupancy of office space and equipment, so the use of your building can be optimised. This prevents unnecessary investments in office space and equipment and saves significantly in energy consumption.

The Plugwise Sense is a new module for the Plugwise ZigBee network and provides measurement of temperature and relative humidity and stores this data in its memory. By installing Sense in your Plugwise system, you gain detailed insight into the evolution of the climatic conditions of individual rooms and can therefore implement appropriate measures to optimise comfort in your building.

These products are distinguished by their unmatched durability of the battery, the settings of the sensors (such as sensitivity, day light switch, time, etc.) and the possibilities of changing remote settings in the software.

The Scan and the Sense and are available from July 4^th.
