1.  Introduction

1.1  ​What is LDS03A Open/Close Door Sensor

 

The Dragino LDS03A is an Open/Close LoRaWAN Door Sensor. It detects door open/close status and uplinks to IoT server via LoRaWAN network. user can see the door status, open duration, open counts in the IoT Server.

LDS03A is powered by a 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery. It can be used for up to 10 years.

The LDS03A will send periodically data every 2 hours as well as for each door open/close action. It also counts the door open times and calculates the last door open duration. Users can also disable the uplink for each open/close event, instead, LDS03A can count each open event and uplink periodically.

LDS03A has a Datalog feature, it will record the open/close event and the user can retrieve the history from LoRaWAN.

LDS03A has the open alarm feature, user can set this feature so the device will send an alarm if the door has been open for a certain time.

LDS03A is designed for outdoor use. It has a weatherproof enclosure and industrial level battery to work in low to high temperatures.

Each LDS03A is 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.

*Battery life depends on how often to send data, please see battery analyzer.

2.  Operation Mode

2.1  How it works

Each LDS03A is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA keys. To use LDS03A in a LoRaWAN network, user needs to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN network server. So LDS03A can join the LoRaWAN network and start to transmit sensor data.

2.2  Example to use for LoRaWAN network

This section shows an example of how to join the TTN V3 LoRaWAN IoT server. Usages with other LoRaWAN IoT servers are similar.

 

1654742304325-850.png

 

  • In this user case, the LDS03A is installed on the door edge to detect the open/close event and send the status to the LoRaWAN server. The LDS03A will uplink different types of messages to the LoRaWAN server. See Uplink payload for detail.

 

Assume the LG308 is already set to connect to the TTN V3 network . We need to add the LDS03A device in TTN V3:

 

Step 1:  Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from LDS03A.

Each LDS03A is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:

image-20230426084953-1.png

Users can enter these keys in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is the TTN V3 screenshot:

Add APP EUI in the application:

1654742610413-498.png

1654742630064-347.png

Add APP KEY and DEV EUI

  

Step 2: Power on LDS03A

1654742860601-778.png 

Put the jumper to power on LDS03A and it will auto-join to the TTN V3 network. After join success, it will start to upload sensor data to TTN V3 and the user can see it in the panel.

image-20220609104802-1.png

2.3  ​Uplink Payload

Uplink payloads have two types:

  • Open/Close Status: Use FPORT=2

  • Other control commands: Use other FPORT fields.

The application server should parse the correct value based on FPORT settings.

 

2.3.1  Device Status, FPORT=5

 

Include device configure status. Once LDS03A Joined the network, it will uplink this message to the server. After that, LDS03A will uplink Device Status every 12 hours.

Users can also use the downlink command(0x26 01) to ask LDS03A to resend this uplink. This uplink payload also includes the DeviceTimeReq to get time.

Ex2: 0x0B49 = 2889mV

2.3.2  Sensor Configuration, FPORT=4

LDS03A will only send this command after getting the downlink command (0x26 02) from the server.

Sensor Configuration FPORT=4
Size(bytes)3112
ValueTDC (unit:sec)DisalarmKeep statusKeep time (unit: min)

 

 

  • TDC: (default: 0x001C20)

Uplink interval for the Open/Close Event, default value is 0x001C20 which is 7200 seconds = 2 hours.

 

  • Disalarm: (default: 0)

 If Disalarm = 1, LDS03A will only send uplink at every TDC periodically. This is normally use for pulse meter application, in this application, there are many open/close event, and platform only care about the total number of pulse.

 If Disalarm = 0, LDS03A will send uplink at every TDC periodically and send data on each open/close event. This is useful for the application user need to monitor the open/close event in real-time.

 

 Note: When Disalarm=0, a high frequently open/close event will cause lots of uplink and drain battery very fast. 

 

  • Keep Status & Keep Time

2.3.3  Real-Time Open/Close Status, Uplink FPORT=2

LDS03A will send this uplink after Device Status once join the LoRaWAN network successfully. And LDS03A will:

1. periodically send this uplink every 2 hours, this interval can be changed.

2. There is an Open/Close event.  

Uplink Payload totals 11 bytes.

2.3.4  Historical Door Open/Close Event, FPORT=3

LDS03A stores sensor values and users can retrieve these history values via the downlink command.

The historical payload includes one or multiplies entries and every entry has the same payload as Real-Time open/close status.

 

  • Each data entry is 11 bytes and has the same structure as Real-Time open/close status, to save airtime and battery, LDS03A will send max bytes according to the current DR and Frequency bands.

For example, in the US915 band, the max payload for different DR is:

  1. DR0: max is 11 bytes so one entry of data

  2. DR1: max is 53 bytes so devices will upload 4 entries of data (total 44 bytes)

  3. DR2: total payload includes 11 entries of data

  4. DR3: total payload includes 22 entries of data.

 

If LDS03A doesn't have any data in the polling time. It will uplink 11 bytes of 0

2.4  Datalog Feature

When a user wants to retrieve sensor value, he can send a poll command from the IoT platform to ask the sensor to send value in the required time slot.

2.4.1  Unix TimeStamp

LDS03A use Unix TimeStamp format based on

image-20220609113256-8.png

Users can get this time from the link:  https://www.epochconverter.com/ :

Below is the converter example

image-20220609113256-9.png

So, we can use AT+TIMESTAMP=1611889405 or downlink 3060137afd00 to set the current time 2021 – Jan -- 29 Friday 03:03:25

2.4.2  Set Device Time

There are two ways to set the device's time:

 

1.  Through LoRaWAN MAC Command (Default settings)

Users need to set SYNCMOD=1 to enable sync time via the MAC command.

Once LDS03A Joined the LoRaWAN network, it will send the MAC command (DeviceTimeReq) and the server will reply with (DeviceTimeAns) to send the current time to LDS03A. If LDS03A fails to get the time from the server, LDS03A will use the internal time and wait for the next time request [via Device Status (FPORT=5)].

 

Note: LoRaWAN Server needs to support LoRaWAN v1.0.3(MAC v1.0.3) or higher to support this MAC command feature.

 

2.  Manually Set Time

Users need to set SYNCMOD=0 to manual time, otherwise, the user set time will be overwritten by the time set by the server.

2.5 ​Show Data in DataCake IoT Server

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

 

Step 2: Configure LDS03A in Datacake.

3.  Configure LDS03A via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink

Use can configure LDS03A via AT Command or LoRaWAN Downlink.

  • AT Command Connection: See FAQ.

  • LoRaWAN Downlink instruction for different platforms: IoT LoRaWAN Server

     

There are two kinds of commands to configure LDS03A, they are:

  •  General Commands.

These commands are to configure:

  • General system settings like: uplink interval.

  • LoRaWAN protocol & radio related command.

They are same for all Dragino Device which support DLWS-005 LoRaWAN Stack. These commands can be found on the wiki: End Device AT Commands and Downlink Command

 

  •  Commands special design for LDS03A
