EnOcean has recently expanded into hybrid EnOcean + BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) devices that emit the same event on both radios, allowing direct integration with smartphone apps AND with traditional EnOcean gateways.

Hybrid EnOcean plus BLE devices broadcast each event twice, once on the sub-GHz EnOcean band and once as a BLE advertisement, both from the same harvested energy budget. EnOcean provides the long-range path (50 to 100 m indoors via existing gateways), while BLE provides a short-range path (around 10 m) that a smartphone can pick up natively without any dedicated EnOcean app. A common use case is a guest in a home using their phone as a remote control over BLE while the same button still drives the building's regular automation over EnOcean. Devices on the market include the NodOn Smart Button and the EnOcean Easyfit range; this is a clear post-2023 industry trend.

When choosing a hybrid device, check the BLE advertising interval: too aggressive an interval drains the harvested energy budget and starves the EnOcean retransmission burst, leading to intermittent misses on the gateway side.
