The EEP (EnOcean Equipment Profile) identifies each device type by a RORG-FUNC-TYPE triplet (e.g. F6-02-01 = 2-channel Rocker push-button), enabling a receiver to decode the telegram correctly without any manual configuration.
True
The EEP triplet is the cornerstone of EnOcean interoperability. RORG (1 byte) names the telegram family (F6 = RPS, A5 = 4BS, D2 = VLD, D5 = 1BS). FUNC (1 byte) specifies the functional class within that family (e.g. 02 = Rocker Switch). TYPE (1 byte) is the variant inside the function (e.g. 01 = 2 channels). Once the receiver knows the EEP, it can parse the user-data bytes deterministically and map them to the right cluster of variables. The complete catalogue is published by the EnOcean Alliance at enocean-alliance.org/eep/.
When you add a new sensor, always note the full RORG-FUNC-TYPE on the wiring schedule; an A5-02-05 temperature sensor and an A5-02-30 share the same RORG but report values on a completely different scale.

- EnOcean is best known for its battery-less devices: energy is harvested from a piezo-electric element (mechanical push-button), a solar cell (sensors with a small photovoltaic panel) or a Peltier element (thermal gradient), eliminating battery maintenance over a 10 to 20 year service life.1. Architecture · Energy Harvesting
- In the EnOcean Teach-In process, the transmitting device sends a special telegram containing its EEP and Device ID; the receiver memorises this information so it can decode later telegrams correctly and bind the sender to a specific action.2. EEP · Auto-Learn
- ESP3 (EnOcean Serial Protocol v3) is the communication protocol between an EnOcean radio module (TCM 310 / TCM 515) and a host gateway or PC over a UART link: packets begin with the sync byte 0x55, followed by a header, a data section and a CRC8.3. ESP3 protocol · Serielles Protokoll
- EnOcean Secure uses a rolling code (an incremental counter) together with a CMAC (Cipher-based MAC built on AES-128) to authenticate every telegram and block replay attacks, which is critical for security-grade applications such as alarms and wireless locks.6. Security · Rolling Code
- ePIRE (EnOcean Profile for Initial Resync Exchange) is the standardised protocol for secure pairing during Teach-In: it covers the generation and distribution of the shared AES key between a Secure-capable transmitter and receiver.6. Security · ePIRE
