1. Introduction

11. What is LWL02 LoRaWAN Water Leak Sensor

16

17

18

The Dragino LWL02 is a LoRaWAN Water Sensor. When there is water between the two metal probes, LWL02 indicates a water leak event and uplink to IoT server via LoRaWAN network.

19

20

21

LWL02 is powered by 2 x AAA batteries and target for long time use, these two batteries can provide about 16,000 ~~ 70,000 uplink packets, which result in 2 ~~ 10 years battery life. After battery running out, user can easily open the enclosure and replace with 2 common AAA batteries.

22

23

24

The LWL02 will send periodically data every day as well as for each water leak event. It also counts the water leak times and calculate last water leak duration. User can also disable the uplink for each water leak event, instead, device can count each event and uplink periodically.

25

26

27

Each LWL02 is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, register these keys to

28

29

LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on. [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.png]]

1. Power ON LWL02

When receive the LWL02, please open the enclosure and add 2 x AAA batteries to power it. The [[LED>>path:#LED]] will blink when device is powered.

1. How to install LWL02

85

86

When install the LWL02 on wall. Please install as below so the water leak probe will be soak in water for water detect purpose. The LWL02 main body is not water proof. Please don’t let water go inside the LWL02 main body.

1. Operation Mode

11. How it works?

The LWL02 is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, user just need to input the OTAA keys in the network server and [[power on>>path:#Power_on]] the LWL02. It will auto join the network via OTAA.

106

107

108

In case user can’t set the OTAA keys in the network server and has to use the existing keys from server. User can [[use AT Command>>path:#AT_Command]] to set the keys in the devices.

1.

11. Example to join LoRaWAN network

113

114

Here shows an example for how to join the [[TTN V3 Network>>url:https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/]]. Below is the network structure, we use [[LG308>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/140-lg308.html]] as LoRaWAN gateway here.

115

116

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image006.png]]

The LWL02 has water leak detect probe as above. When there is water between these two detect probe, they will be short and generate the water leak event. and send the status to LoRaWAN server. The LWL02 will uplink two type of messages to the server.

121

122

* A keep-alive message which send once per day.

123

* An emergency event message when detect a water leak. ([[Alarm event can be disabled>>path:#Alarm]])

124

* A periodically update at every 10 minutes when in water leak.

125

* A message when switch from water leak to none water leak. ([[Alarm event can be disabled>>path:#Alarm]])

The LG308 is already set to connect to [[TTN V3 network >>url:https://eu1.cloud.thethings.network/]]. What we need to now is only configure the TTN V3:

131

132

**Step 1**: Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from LWL02.

133

134

Each LWL02 is shipped with a sticker with unique device EUI:

135

136

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image007.png]]

User can enter this key in their LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN V3 screen shot:

142

143

Add APP EUI in the application.

Add APP KEY and DEV EUI

162

163

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image012.png]]

164

165

**Step 2**: [[Power on>>path:#Power_on]] LWL02 and it will auto join to the TTN V3 network. After join success, it will start to upload message to TTN V3 and user can see in the panel.

11. Integrate with Datacake

272

273

274

Datacake provides a human friendly interface to show the sensor data, once we have data in TTN V3, we can use Datacake to connect to TTN V3 and see the data in Datacake. Below are the steps:

275

276

277

Step 1: Be sure that your device is programmed and properly connected to the network at this time.

278

279

Step 2: To configure the Application to forward data to Datacake you will need to add integration. To add the Datacake integration, perform the following steps:

280

281

282

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image016.png]]

286

287

288

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image018.png]]

Step 3: Create an account or log in Datacake.

293

294

Step 4: Search LWL02 and add DevEUI.

11. Alarm Base on Timeout

301

302

303

LWL02 can monitor the timeout for a status change, this feature can be used to monitor some event such as open fridge too long etc.

304

305

306

User configure this feature by using:

307

308

309

**AT Command** to configure:

310

311

* AT+TTRIG=1,30 à When status change from close to open, and device keep in open

312

313

status for more than 30 seconds. LWL02 will send an uplink packet, the Alarm bit (the lowest bit of 10^^th^^ byte of payload) on this uplink packet is set to 1.

314

315

* AT+TTIG=0,0 à Default Value, disable timeout Alarm.

316

317

318

**Downlink Command** to configure:

319

320

Command: 0xA9 aa bb cc

321

322

A9: Command Type Code

323

324

aa: status to be monitor

bb cc: timeout.

If user send 0xA9 01 00 1E: equal to AT+TTRIG=1,30

Or

0xA9 00 00 00: Equal to AT+TTRIG=0,0. Disable timeout Alarm.

1. Battery & How to replace

353

11. Battery Type and replace

354

355

LWL02 is equipped with 2 x AAA LR03 batteries. If the batteries running low(see 2.1v in the platform). User can buy generic AAA battery and replace it. Note:

356

357

1. The LWL02 doesn’t have any screw, use can use nail to open it by the middle.

358

1. Make sure the direction is correct when install the AAA batteries.

**Important Notice: Make sure use new AAA LR03 battery and the battery doesn’t have broken surface.**

363

364

365

Example of AAA LR03 batter:

1. Use AT Command

11. Access AT Command

383

384

LWL02 supports AT Command set. User can use a USB to TTL adapter to configure LWL02 via use AT command, as below.

385

386

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image021.png]]

387

388

USB to TTL <- -> LWL02

RX <- -> TX

TX <- -> RX

GND <- -> GND

In PC, User needs to set **serial tool**(such as [[putty>>url:https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~~sgtatham/putty/latest.html]], SecureCRT) baud rate to **115200** to access to access serial console of LWL02. Below is the output for reference:

398

399

The AT Access password is **123456**.

400

401

[[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image022.png]]

402

403

Each AT Command need to add an ENTER at the end before send.

404

405

406

When entering the first command, the RED LED will on and user can now input AT Commands. After input all needed AT Commands, please input AT+CLPM=1 to set the device to work in Low Power mode and RED LED will be off.

407

408

11. Can I disable uplink for each event to save battery life?

428

429

Yes, User can use below method to disable this:

**via AT Command**:

AT+DISALARM=1, End node will only send packet in TDC time.

434

435

AT+DISALARM=0, End node will send packet in TDC time or status change for door sensor.

436

437

**via LoRaWAN downlink Command**:

438

439

0xA701 : Equal to AT+DISALARM=1

440

441

0xA700 : Equal to AT+DISALARM=0
