This reference design demonstrates a low-power method of wireless environmental sensing enabling up to 10 years of coin-cell battery life. The ambient-light sensor enables lighting control for applications such as automatic window blinds or daylight harvesting. This design uses our SimpleLink™ ultra-low power sub-1 GHz wireless microcontroller (MCU) platform and ambient light, humidity and temperature sensing technologies to achieve interrupt-based sensor monitoring when running from the backup battery.
A fully assembled board has been developed for testing and performance validation only, and is not available for sale.
