Projektstatus: Idea Release In use

Zero-Power Indicator (ZPI)

ZPI designs a no-energy visual indicator to replace traditional LEDs in electronic devices—eliminating unnecessary power use and rethinking the role of signals in tech design.

#Round 4 

ZPI is an open hardware project developing a minimalist alternative to traditional LED indicators in electronic devices. The goal: to eliminate unnecessary energy consumption and reduce the cognitive load caused by constant device signaling. Sounds easy? The prototyping phase will show and tell about the mechanisms and learnings. Stay tuned!

How we will achieve real-world impact

ZPI challenges industry norms by demonstrating how removing something as seemingly small as an LED indicator can significantly reduce power usage across millions of devices. By prototyping a no-power alternative and openly sharing design files and test data, ZPI inspires hardware manufacturers, designers, and consumers to rethink what digital minimalism and sufficiency can look like in practice.
