Why you should know about EnOcean Wireless Sensors: As I prepare for my second day of training on Can2Go ddc controllers I am getting a new appreciation for EnOcean wireless products. They are energy harvesting sensors, which means you do not have to power them. So no power supplies and no batteries. This also means you can move them to different locations very easily, which makes them very flexible. Stromquist & Company is now representing Thermokon, the leading manufacturer of EnOcean sensors. We can’t wait for our inventory to arrive, so we can start providing our customers with this great technology.
Memorial Day: As we take time off for this Memorial Day Weekend let us not forget and let us take the time to say Thank You to our veterans. For those living and for those gone, for those who are family and for those who we will never know, and for ALL the men and ALL the women…..Thank You.

Contemporary Controls and George Thomas at HayStack Connect: Embedded Linux — “A Standardized Platform for IP Applications.” George Thomas is a modest master of automation, with a long list of industry milestones reaching back to 1975, when George both established Contemporary Controls and developed the first microprocessor-based Computing Ratiometer and later pioneered and implemented ARCNET. Contemporary Controls has since grown to be a globally recognized leader in Industrial, Building, and Commercial Automation, as well as Original Design Manufacturing.
Another HVAC Giant: James Alex Trane and the Trane Story: As summer nears, it is befitting to tell more of the air conditioning story. Next up, meet James Alex Trane. In many ways Trane is a classic American success story that grew into a global one. James Alex Trane (April 29, 1857-January 24, 1936) was born in Tromsø, Norway. He was an immigrant to the United States who settled in La Crosse, Wisconsin in 1864, finding work as a steamfitter and plumber. In 1885, he opened his own plumbing shop.
