Smart home products have penetrated into every aspect of people’s lives over the past decade, like smart lighting, kinetic Wireless Doorbell, electric curtain, smart toilet, etc. And the global smart home market size will reach one trillion US dollars by 2025 predicted by a domestic corporate consulting company. When discussing smart homes, it's essential to mention self-powered wireless switches, as the products mentioned above utilize this technology in most cases. The following text will explain how the wireless switch works in detail.
1. Working principle
The self-generating switch can be divided into two parts, one is the transmitter (press button), and the other is the receiver. The self-powered wireless switch operates without batteries or wires. It features an integrated micro-generator, which produces a small amount of electricity upon each press. This generated electricity powers an internal transmitter. Then the transmitter sends radio signals to the controllers.
To cite an instance, a Lighting Controller (receiver) is installed in the light fitting, it receives the radio signal from the switch. When the switch is pressed, the flow of power is restored and the light turns on. When pressed again, the switch breaks the circuit, preventing power from reaching the light fitting and turning the light off.
2. Features and advantages
Many wall-mounted wireless switches for lights are battery-powered, the switch will not work once the battery drains. On the contrary, kinetic wireless switches, which don't need batteries, are wirelessly linked to a relay in an electrical box in the ceiling. However, for this system to work, the device must be within 150 feet of the receiver. You can simply place these switches on any kind of surface—be it wood, brick, or tile—without wiring, for a hassle-free installation and cost-saving solution.
As mentioned, the eco-friendly wireless switches ensure long-term sustainability by operating without batteries, and with a mechanical lifespan of one million pushes, they provide durable and reliable performance for years.
In addition, the self-powered wireless switch, known for its wide applicability and waterproof design, allows you to effortlessly control indoor lighting fixtures, ceiling lights, curtains, and other hard-to-reach electric appliances with just a single push. What’s more, it can even work great in wet environments like bathroom and courtyard without worrying about electric leakage.
3. DIY lifestyle
A key feature of the self-powered wireless switch is that it can pair with multiple receivers enabling one switch to control several lamps simultaneously, and vice versa.
With a smart gateway installed, you can connect and remotely control smart devices in your home through apps that support protocols such as Wi-Fi, Zigbee, TuYa, Matter or Bluetooth. Smart homes offer you a convenient and connected lifestyle!
Just imagine, before you go to bed at night, you can reach out and touch a switch on the bedside/smartphone to turn off all the lights at home with one click. You no longer need to get out of bed to turn off the lights; similarly, you can turn on the lights with just one touch.
