TCM 310 enables the realization of gateways for the EnOcean 868 MHz radio systems. They provide a bi-directional radio interface at one end and a bi-directional serial interface at the other end. Radio messages are sent transparently through the serial interface in both directions from and to an externally connected host processor or host PC. In addition control commands can be sent from the host, e.g. to configure the repeater functionality or to manage the Smart Ack functions. TCM 310 can act as postmaster for up to 15 bi-directional sensors using Smart Ack technology. The module is not programmable.

The Gateway Controller is the universal transparent gateway firmware, which can be used to communicate with an EnOcean network. Ideal for applications where a second micro-controller is used.

TCM 310 modules available in variations for following frequencies:

  • TCM 310 : 868.300 MHz
  • TCM 310C: 315.000 MHz
  • TCM 310U: 902.875 MHz

Features

  • Smart Ack controller functionality
  • Transparent radio channel
  • Programmable repeater functionality (1 / 2 Level)
  • ESP3 support (EnOcean Serial Protocol V3)
  • Not API programmable!
  • The modules have been tested to fulfil the approval requirements for CE (TCM 310) and FCC/IC (TCM 310C / TCM 310U) based on the built-in firmware
  • The modules bear the EC conformity marking CE and conform to the R&TTE EU-directive on radio equipment

FAQs

What is the frequency range for Enocean Pi?

This product is available in 3 frequencies of which:  North America 902MHz version, Europe and China 868MHz version and Asia (excluding China) 315MHz version.

What are the main factors that influence the system transmission range (propagation)?

  • Type and location of the antennas of receiver and transmitter
  • Type of terrain and degree of obstruction of the link path
  • Sources of interference affecting the receiver
  • “Dead spots” caused by signal reflections from nearby conductive objects.

Would you please provide me with a guide for Enocean pi wireless coverage?

These figures should be treated as a rough guide only:
  • Line-of-sight connections
    • Typically 30 m range in corridors, up to 100 m in halls
  • Plasterboard walls / dry wood
    • Typically 30 m range, through max. 5 walls
  • Ferro concrete walls / ceilings
    • Typically 10 m range, through max. 1 ceiling
  • Fire-safety walls, elevator shafts, staircases and similar areas should be considered as shielded

How does the Enocean pi work?

It provides a bi-directional radio interface at one end and a bi-directional serial interface at the other end. Radio messages are sent transparently through the serial interface in both directions from and to an externally connected host processor or host PC. In addition control commands can be sent from the host, e.g. to configure the repeater functionality or to manage the Smart Ack functions. TCM 310 can act as postmaster for up to 15 bi-directional sensors using Smart Ack technology.

Is there any device driver available for the Enocean Pi?

This link http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-55295/l/element14-how-to-use-enocean-pi-with-raspberry-pi
provides you with a step-by-step guide on how to use EnOcean Pi with Raspberry Pi. Also EnOcean Pi will be configured automatically when you install Fhem and start Fhem server. Fhem is a GPL'd perl server for house automation. You can refer to:
