Greatech Launches CO₂ Sensor with Multi-Connectivity

Greatech, a German hardware developer and manufacturer specializing in energy-efficient wireless embedded systems for terrestrial and satellite communication, launches Sensoco Loomair Solar, a light-powered CO₂ sensor with multi-connectivity designed for smart buildings.

The sensor combines Epishine’s indoor solar cell as the power source with e-peas’ power management integrated circuit (PMIC), ensuring efficient energy conversion and continuous operation. Developed for smart buildings, Sensoco Loomair Solar is now available as a sustainable, cost-effective, and maintenance-free IoT solution.

As the number of industrial IoT devices required for smart buildings grows, so does the pressure to move away from disposable batteries. This shift is driven by stricter battery regulations and by the need to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). Energy-harvesting offers a credible and sustainable alternative to disposable batteries.

To address this critical need, Greatech, e-peas, and Epishine have joined forces to launch Sensoco Loomair Solar, a light-powered CO₂ sensor with multi-connectivity. This innovative sensor is powered solely by Epishine indoor solar cells capturing energy from indoor light.

“This sensor is a testament to the possibilities of highly efficient energy harvesting, enabling us to meet sustainability goals without compromising functionality or design Christoph Grundig, co-founder of Greatech, said. “Design and assembly are made at our facility.”

As smart buildings increasingly rely on advanced connectivity and efficient solutions to unlock their full potential, Sensoco Loomair Solar stands out as a key innovation, offering wireless functionality powered by light. The sensor supports multiple communication protocols.

“This launch exemplifies the progress in smart building technology, combining indoor solar cell innovation with seamless connectivity to deliver a sustainable, maintenance-free solution,” said Niklas Forsgren, FAE director at Epishine.

Sensoco Loomair Solar is now available to order directly from Greatech.
