I think the interesting parts here are:
- it absorbs energy and stores them in capacitors until fully charged
- once on, it attempts to activate sensors in such a way it does not need to go offline.. which seems to include "higher power" sensors that will probably have less frequent measurements taken due to the power requirement
- the design explanation seems to indicate it would work well with any low power sensor, it is supposed to "learn" how much power a sensor needs to take a measurement.
So this isn't (to me) interesting because it's a self-powered sensor, but because it's an auto-starting sensor controller that can make best effort measurements from radio waves, and it's not necessarily fixed to specific sensors (presumably any sensor that doesn't exceed it's capacitors, less the power required to switch back to harvest mode)
