1. Introduction

1.1 What is LHT65N Temperature & Humidity Sensor

The Dragino LHT65N Temperature & Humidity sensor is a Long Range LoRaWAN Sensor. It includes a built-in Temperature & Humidity sensor and has an external sensor connector to connect to an external Temperature Sensor.

The LHT65N allows users to send data and reach extremely long ranges. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption. It targets professional wireless sensor network applications such as irrigation systems, smart metering, smart cities, building automation, and so on.

LHT65N has a built-in 2400mAh non-chargeable battery which can be used for up to 10 years*.

LHT65N is full compatible with LoRaWAN v1.0.3 Class A protocol, it can work with a standard LoRaWAN gateway.

LHT65N supports Datalog Feature. It will record the data when there is no network coverage and users can retrieve the sensor value later to ensure no miss for every sensor reading. 

*The actual battery life depends on how often to send data, please see the battery analyzer chapter.

2. Connect LHT65N to IoT Server

2.1 How does LHT65N work?

LHT65N is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. Each LHT65N is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA keys. To use LHT65N in a LoRaWAN network, first, we need to put the OTAA keys in LoRaWAN Network Server and then activate LHT65N.

If LHT65N is under the coverage of this LoRaWAN network. LHT65N can join the LoRaWAN network automatically. After successfully joining, LHT65N will start to measure environment temperature and humidity, and start to transmit sensor data to the LoRaWAN server. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.

2.2 How to Activate LHT65N?

The LHT65N has two working modes:

  • Deep Sleep Mode: LHT65N doesn’t have any LoRaWAN activation. This mode is used for storage and shipping to save battery life.

  • Working Mode:     In this mode, LHT65N works as LoRaWAN Sensor mode to Join LoRaWAN network and send out the sensor data to the server. Between each sampling/tx/rx periodically, LHT65N will be in STOP mode (IDLE mode), in STOP mode, LHT65N has the same power consumption as Deep Sleep mode.  

The LHT65N is set in deep sleep mode by default; The ACT button on the front is to switch to different modes:

2.3 Example to join LoRaWAN network

This section shows an example of how to join the TTN V3 LoRaWAN IoT server. Use with other LoRaWAN IoT servers is of a similar procedure.

image-20220522232442-1.png

Assume the LPS8N is already set to connect to TTN V3 network, So it provides network coverage for LHT65N. Next we need to add the LHT65N device in TTN V3:

2.3.1 Step 1: Create Device n TTN

Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from LHT65N.

Each LHT65N is shipped with a sticker with its device EUI, APP Key and APP EUI as below:

image-20220617150003-1.jpeg

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

Add APP EUI in the application.

image-20220522232954-5.png

Note: LHT65N use same payload as LHT65.

image-20220522233026-6.png

Input APP EUI,  APP KEY and DEV EUI:

image-20220522233118-7.png

2.3.2 Step 2: Activate LHT65N by pressing the ACT button for more than 5 seconds.

Use ACT button to activate LHT65N and it will auto-join to the TTN V3 network. After join success, it will start to upload sensor data to TTN V3 and user can see in the panel.

  • The First 6 bytes: has fix meanings for every LHT65N.
  • The 7th byte (EXT #): defines the external sensor model. 
  • The 8th ~ 11th byte: the value for external sensor value. The definition is based on external sensor type. (If EXT=0, there won't be these four bytes.)

2.4.1 Decoder in TTN V3

When the uplink payload arrives TTNv3, it shows HEX format and not friendly to read. We can add LHT65N decoder in TTNv3 for friendly reading.

Below is the position to put the decoder and LHT65N decoder can be download from here: https://github.com/dragino/dragino-end-node-decoder

If the external sensor is 0x01, and there is no external temperature connected. The temperature will be set to 7FFF which is 327.67℃

2.4.6.2 Ext=9, E3 sensor with Unix Timestamp

Timestamp mode is designed for LHT65N with E3 probe, it will send the uplink payload with Unix timestamp. With the limitation of 11 bytes (max distance of AU915/US915/AS923 band), the time stamp mode will be lack of BAT voltage field, instead, it shows the battery status. The payload is as below:

  • Sync time OK          1: Set time ok,0: N/A. After time SYNC request is sent, LHT65N will set this bit to 0 until got the time stamp from the application server.
  • Unix Time Request:  1: Request server downlink Unix time, 0 : N/A. In this mode, LHT65N will set this bit to 1 every 10 days to request a time SYNC. (AT+SYNCMOD to set this)

2.4.6.3 Ext=6, ADC Sensor (use with E2 Cable)

In this mode, user can connect external ADC sensor to check ADC value. The 3V3_OUT can

be used to power the external ADC sensor; user can control the power on time for this

sensor by setting:

AT+EXT=6,timeout          Time to power this sensor, from 0 ~ 65535ms

For example:

AT+EXT=6,1000 will power this sensor for 1000ms before sampling the ADC value.

Or use downlink command A2 to set the same.

The measuring range of the node is only about 0.1V to 1.1V The voltage resolution is about 0.24mv.

When the measured output voltage of the sensor is not within the range of 0.1V and 1.1V, the output voltage terminal of the sensor shall be divided The example in the following figure is to reduce the output voltage of the sensor by three times If it is necessary to reduce more times, calculate according to the formula in the figure and connect the corresponding resistance in series.

image-20220628150112-1.png

When ADC_IN1 pin is connected to GND or suspended, ADC value is 0

image-20220628150714-4.png

When the voltage collected by ADC_IN1 is less than the minimum range, the minimum range will be used as the output; Similarly, when the collected voltage is greater than the maximum range, the maximum range will be used as the output.

1) The minimum range is about 0.1V. Each chip has internal calibration, so this value is close to 0.1V

image-20220628151005-5.png

2) The maximum range is about 1.1V. Each chip has internal calibration, so this value is close to 1.1v

image-20220628151056-6.png

3) Within range

2.4.6.5 Ext=4 Interrupt Mode (Since Firmware v1.3)

Note: In this mode, 3.3v output will be always ON. LHT65N will send an uplink when there is a trigger.

Interrupt Mode can be used to connect to external interrupt sensors such as:

Case 1: Door Sensor. 3.3v Out for such sensor is just to detect Open/Close.

 In Open State, the power consumption is the same as if there is no probe

 In Close state, the power consumption will be 3uA higher than normal.

2.5 Show data on Datacake

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 1: Be sure that your device is programmed and properly connected to the LoRaWAN network.

Step 2: Configure your Application to forward data to Datacake you will need to add integration. Go to TTN V3 Console --> Applications --> Integrations --> Add Integrations.

 

Add Datacake:

image-20220523000825-10.png

2.6 Datalog Feature

Datalog Feature is to ensure IoT Server can get all sampling data from Sensor even if the LoRaWAN network is down. For each sampling, LHT65N will store the reading for future retrieving purposes. There are two ways for IoT servers to get datalog from LHT65N.

2.6.1 Ways to get datalog via LoRaWAN

There are two methods:

Method 1: IoT Server sends a downlink LoRaWAN command to poll the value for specified time range.

Method 2: Set PNACKMD=1, LHT65N will wait for ACK for every uplink, when there is no LoRaWAN network, LHT65N will mark these records with non-ack messages and store the sensor data, and it will send all messages (10s interval) after the network recovery.

Note for method 2:

  • a) LHT65N will do an ACK check for data records sending to make sure every data arrive server.
  • b) LHT65N will send data in CONFIRMED Mode when PNACKMD=1, but LHT65N won't re-transmit the packet if it doesn't get ACK, it will just mark it as a NONE-ACK message. In a future uplink if LHT65N gets a ACK, LHT65N will consider there is a network connection and resend all NONE-ACK Message. 

Below is the typical case for the auto-update datalog feature (Set PNACKMD=1)

image-20220703111700-2.png

2.6.2 Unix TimeStamp

LHT65N uses Unix TimeStamp format based on

image-20220523001219-11.png

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

Below is the converter example

image-20220523001219-12.png

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

2.6.3 Set Device Time

There are two ways to set device's time:

1.  Through LoRaWAN MAC Command (Default settings)

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

Once LHT65N Joined LoRaWAN network, it will send the MAC command (DeviceTimeReq) and the server will reply with (DeviceTimeAns) to send the current time to LHT65N. If LHT65N fails to get the time from the server, LHT65N will use the internal time and wait for next time request (AT+SYNCTDC to set the time request period, default is 10 days).

Note: LoRaWAN Server need to support LoRaWAN v1.0.3(MAC v1.0.3) or higher to support this MAC command feature, Chirpstack,TTN V3 v3 and loriot support but TTN V3 v2 doesn't support. If server doesn't support this command, it will through away uplink packet with this command, so user will lose the packet with time request for TTN V3 v2 if SYNCMOD=1.

 

2. Manually Set Time

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

2.6.4 Poll sensor value

User can poll sensor value based on timestamps from the server. Below is the downlink command.

image-20220523152302-15.png

Timestamp start and Timestamp end use Unix TimeStamp format as mentioned above. Devices will reply with all data log during this time period, use the uplink interval.

For example, downlink command 31 5FC5F350 5FC6 0160 05 

Is to check 2020/12/1 07:40:00 to 2020/12/1 08:40:00’s data

Uplink Internal =5s,means LHT65N will send one packet every 5s. range 5~255s.

2.6.5 Datalog Uplink payload

The Datalog poll reply uplink will use below payload format.

Retrieval data payload:

Size(bytes)

22214
ValueExternal sensor dataBuilt In TemperatureBuilt-in HumidityPoll message flag & ExtUnix Time Stamp

Poll message flag & Ext:

image-20221006192726-1.png

No ACK Message:  1: This message means this payload is fromn Uplink Message which doesn't get ACK from the server before ( for PNACKMD=1 feature)

Poll Message Flag: 1: This message is a poll message reply.

  • Poll Message Flag is set to 1.
  • Each data entry is 11 bytes, to save airtime and battery, devices will send max bytes according to the current DR and Frequency bands.

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

a) DR0: max is 11 bytes so one entry of data

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

c) DR2: total payload includes 11 entries of data

d) DR3: total payload includes 22 entries of data.

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

Example:

If LHT65N has below data inside Flash:

image-20220523144455-1.png

If user sends below downlink command:  3160065F9760066DA705

Where : Start time: 60065F97 = time 21/1/19 04:27:03

             Stop time: 60066DA7= time 21/1/19 05:27:03

LHT65N will uplink this payload.

7FFF089801464160065F97 7FFF 088E 014B 41 60066009 7FFF0885014E41600660667FFF0875015141600662BE7FFF086B015541600665167FFF08660155416006676E7FFF085F015A41600669C67FFF0857015D4160066C1E

Where the first 11 bytes is for the first entry:

7FFF089801464160065F97

Ext sensor data=0x7FFF/100=327.67

Temp=0x088E/100=22.00

Hum=0x014B/10=32.6

poll message flag & Ext=0x41,means reply data,Ext=1

Unix time is 0x60066009=1611030423s=21/1/19 04:27:03

2.7 Alarm Mode

when the device is in alarm mode, it checks the built-in sensor temperature for a short time. if the temperature exceeds the preconfigured range, it sends an uplink immediately.

Note: alarm mode adds a little power consumption, and we recommend extending the normal read time when this feature is enabled.
