title = "Decorative energy-autonomous sensor platform concept with printed OPV-cells",
abstract = "Interest in home automation is increasing rapidly and there is a need for sensing solutions that can enable this development. An energy autonomous wireless sensor platform would be an easy solution for sensing. Printed arbitrary shaped organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells can be used on a relatively big area for energy harvesting and be used as a decorative element at the same time. In this paper we describe the process of manufacturing arbitrary shaped OPV-cells and present an integration example of a decorative energy-autonomous sensor platform concept. Sensor platform is fitted with temperature-, moisture- and ambient light level sensors. A passive infrared motion sensor and an infrared thermometer are also included. This sensor combination can be used to monitor presence and control lighting, heating or air conditioning. Sensor data is sent wirelessly to a PC for logging.",
