LWL02 - LoRaWAN Water Leak Sensor User Manual

The Dragino LWL02 is a (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**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.

(((

20

LWL02 is powered by (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**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.

)))

(((

The LWL02 will send periodically data every day as well as for each water leak event. It also (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**counts the water leak times**(%%) and (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**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.

== 4.1 How it works? ==

91

92

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>>||anchor="H2.PowerONLWL02"]] the LWL02. It will auto join the network via OTAA.

93

94

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>>||anchor="H6.UseATCommand"]] to set the keys in the devices.

== 4.2 Example to join LoRaWAN network ==

100

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.

11. Integrate with Datacake

245

246

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:

247

248

249

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

250

251

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:

252

253

254

Step 3: Create an account or log in Datacake.

265

266

Step 4: Search LWL02 and add DevEUI.

11. Alarm Base on Timeout

273

274

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.

275

276

277

User configure this feature by using:

278

279

280

**AT Command** to configure:

281

282

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

283

284

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.

285

286

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

287

288

**Downlink Command** to configure:

289

290

Command: 0xA9 aa bb cc

291

292

A9: Command Type Code

293

294

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

318

11. Battery Type and replace

319

320

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:

321

322

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

323

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

324

325

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

326

327

328

Example of AAA LR03 batter:

1. Use AT Command

11. Access AT Command

346

347

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

348

349

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

350

351

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:

361

362

The AT Access password is **123456**.

363

364

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

365

366

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

367

368

369

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.
