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 a battery? 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.
Thus, no battery and no power connection are necessary.
🔋 100% batteryless
🔧 maintenance-free
🕹️ mechanically robust – up to 200,000 switching cycles
📡 Own 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 that 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 its function.
📶 Stable connection with high range
🔐 Unique radio coding per switch – no interference
⚡ Instant 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 – two variants are available depending on the area of use:
💡 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 board. Enables central control of up to six circuits.
👉 Good to know: Connecting both receivers is no more complicated than connecting a lamp. Anyone with a little DIY experience can do it themselves without problems. Alternatively, an electrician can take over 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 bit more sustainable.
