    I wouldn’t call it “harvesting” if you have operate power transmitters on each floor of the house. “Energy harvesting” usually means you are using something that is already present in the environment.

    “each floor would have one or two RF (radio frequency) power transmitters to powe r up all switches inside the house.”
