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.

)))

Each LWL02 is (% style="color:#4f81bd" %)**pre-load with a set of unique keys**(%%) for LoRaWAN registration, register these keys to LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

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

81

82

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.

102

103

104

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

109

110

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.

111

112

[[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.

117

118

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

119

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

120

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

121

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

122

123

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:

124

125

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

126

127

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

128

129

[[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:

135

136

Add APP EUI in the application.

157

158

**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

259

260

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:

261

262

263

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

264

265

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:

266

267

268

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

272

273

274

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

Step 3: Create an account or log in Datacake.

279

280

Step 4: Search LWL02 and add DevEUI.

11. Alarm Base on Timeout

287

288

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.

289

290

291

User configure this feature by using:

292

293

294

**AT Command** to configure:

295

296

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

297

298

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.

299

300

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

301

302

**Downlink Command** to configure:

303

304

Command: 0xA9 aa bb cc

305

306

A9: Command Type Code

307

308

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

333

11. Battery Type and replace

334

335

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:

336

337

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

338

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

339

340

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

341

342

343

Example of AAA LR03 batter:

11. Power Consumption Analyze

352

353

Dragino battery powered products are all run in Low Power mode. User can check the guideline from this link to calculate the estimate battery life:

1. Use AT Command

11. Access AT Command

361

362

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

363

364

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

365

366

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:

376

377

The AT Access password is **123456**.

378

379

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

380

381

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

382

383

384

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.

385

386
