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. How to install LWL02

83

84

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.

104

105

106

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

111

112

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.

113

114

[[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.

119

120

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

121

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

122

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

123

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

124

125

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:

126

127

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

128

129

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

130

131

[[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:

137

138

Add APP EUI in the application.

159

160

**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

261

262

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:

263

264

265

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

266

267

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:

268

269

270

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

274

275

276

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

Step 3: Create an account or log in Datacake.

281

282

Step 4: Search LWL02 and add DevEUI.

11. Alarm Base on Timeout

289

290

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.

291

292

293

User configure this feature by using:

294

295

296

**AT Command** to configure:

297

298

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

299

300

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.

301

302

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

303

304

**Downlink Command** to configure:

305

306

Command: 0xA9 aa bb cc

307

308

A9: Command Type Code

309

310

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

335

11. Battery Type and replace

336

337

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:

338

339

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

340

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

341

342

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

343

344

345

Example of AAA LR03 batter:

11. Power Consumption Analyze

354

355

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

363

364

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

365

366

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

367

368

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:

378

379

The AT Access password is **123456**.

380

381

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

382

383

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

384

385

386

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.

387
