How does the Kinetic Switch work?

Jul 31, 2025

Wireless. Batteryless. Simply clever.

Light switches rethought – that was our goal when we developed the Kinetic-Switch. But how exactly does a switch work that requires neither a power connection nor batteries? The answer lies in an innovative combination of mechanics and radio technology that functions completely independently.

⚙️ Energy from movement – completely without power supply

The Kinetic-Switch uses a mechanical principle: when pressed, the switch generates a small amount of kinetic energy – solely through finger pressure. This energy is sufficient to send a radio signal.
So, no battery and no power connection are necessary.

🔋 100% batteryless

🔧 maintenance-free

🕹️ mechanically robust – up to 200,000 switching operations

📡 Proprietary 433 MHz radio technology

The generated impulse is sent via 433 MHz radio technology. This frequency is particularly energy-efficient and reliable – ideal for simple, secure switching operations. It reaches a distance of up to 30m indoors and 80m outdoors.

Each switch works with its own coded protocol, so multiple switches in the same household do not interfere with each other. Other radio signals in the house (e.g., from remote controls or sensors) also do not affect the function.

📶 Stable connection with high range

🔐 Unique radio coding per switch – no interference

⚡ Immediate reaction without delay

Depending on the application, the switch directly controls a suitable receiver module, e.g., for lights, roller shutters, or other devices.

🛠️ Installation: Simply attach, done

The Kinetic-Switch can be mounted on any surface – without cables, without power, without drilling.
Whether on the wall, on glass, wood, or tiles: the switch is simply attached with adhesive pads or screws and is immediately ready for use.

For the switch to control devices such as lamps or roller shutters, a radio receiver is installed between the power supply and the consumer – depending on the application, two variants are available:

💡 Compact radio receiver: Ideal for direct connection to the lamp or consumer. Fits into luminaire housings or flush-mounted boxes.

⚙️ 6-channel professional receiver: For professional use in the sub-distribution. Allows central control of up to six circuits.

👉 Good to know: Connecting both receivers is no more complicated than connecting a lamp. Anyone with some DIY experience can easily do this themselves. Alternatively, an electrician can carry out the installation.

💡 After connection, the Kinetic-Switch is immediately ready for operation – and can be flexibly repositioned at any time.

🌱 Sustainable and future-oriented

By eliminating batteries and external power supply, the Kinetic-Switch is not only maintenance-free but also particularly environmentally friendly. It actively contributes to the reduction of electronic waste, saves energy and resources in everyday life, and makes your home a little more sustainable.
