The present invention relates to a device for wireless transmission of data and/or power between the device and another device of a system, in particular of a patient monitoring system. The device comprises an identification unit (601) for storing a unique identifier of the device, a connector (602) and a control unit (606). The connector comprises a data transmission unit (603) arranged for transmitting data to and/or receiving data from another device of the system having a counterpart connector, a magnetic coupling unit (604) for transmitting power to and/or receiving power from another device of the system having a counterpart connector by use of inductive coupling, and a detection unit (605) for detecting the strength of magnetic coupling between the magnetic coupling unit and a magnetic coupling unit of a counterpart connector of another device and for detecting the intensity of data received by the data transmission unit from a data transmission unit of the other device. The control unit is configured to control the data transmission unit to transmit the unique identifier of the device to the other device and/or to receive the unique identifier of the other device, if i) the detected intensity of received data is above a data intensity threshold and/or its increase is above a data intensity increase threshold and ii) the detected magnetic coupling is above a magnetic coupling threshold and/or its increase is above a magnetic coupling increase threshold.
