There's no such thing as free energy overall, but there is within a frame of reference. The sun acts as "free energy" to the reference frame of Earth but obviously comes from its fusion reaction radiating energy. Similarly, if you hold the sensor as the reference frame, it's getting "free" energy from magnetic fields that wouldn't be used otherwise. So I don't think it's wrong to describe that way! Passive energy collection is pretty neat.
