1. Introduction
1.1 What is LHT65N-PIR Temperature,Humidity & PIR Sensor
The Dragino LHT65N-PIR Temperature, Humidity & PIR sensor is a Long Range LoRaWAN Sensor.It includes a built-in Temperature & Humidity sensor and has an external PIR Probe. LHT65N-PIR can detect environment Temperature & Humdity, it also detects People Activity via PIR probe and them send these info to LoRaWAN IoT Server.
The LHT65N-PIR 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-PIR has a built-in 2400mAh non-chargeable battery which can be used for more than 5 years*.
LHT65N-PIR supports wireless configure & OTA update which make user easy to use.
LHT65N-PIR is fully compatible with LoRaWAN v1.0.3 Class A protocol, it can work with a standard LoRaWAN gateway.

2. Connect LHT65N-PIR to IoT Server
2.1 How does LHT65N-PIR work?
LHT65N-PIR is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A sensor by default. Each LHT65N-PIR is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA keys. To use LHT65N-PIR in a LoRaWAN network, first, we need to put the OTAA keys in LoRaWAN Network Server and then activate LHT65N-PIR.
If LHT65N-PIR is within the coverage of this LoRaWAN network. LHT65N-PIR can join the LoRaWAN network automatically. After successfully joining, LHT65N-PIR will start to measure environment temperature, humidity & people activity, 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-PIR?
The LHT65N-PIR has two working modes:
- Deep Sleep Mode: LHT65N-PIR doesn't have any LoRaWAN activation. This mode is used for storage and shipping to save battery life.
- Working Mode: In this mode, LHT65N-PIR 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-PIR will be in STOP mode (IDLE mode), in STOP mode, the PIR sensor is still working to detect people activity in low power consumption.
The LHT65N-PIR is set in deep sleep mode by default; The ACT button on the front is to switch to different modes:
Behavior on ACT | Function | Action |
---|---|---|
Pressing ACT between 1s < time < 3s | Test uplink status |
If LHT65N-PIR is already Joined to rhe LoRaWAN network, LHT65N-PIR will send an uplink packet, if LHT65N-PIR has external sensor connected,Blue led will blink once. If LHT65N-PIR has not external sensor, Red led will blink once. |
Pressing ACT for more than 3s | Active Device |
Green led will fast blink 5 times, LHT65N-PIR will enter working mode and start to JOIN LoRaWAN network. |
Fast press ACT 5 times. | Deactivate Device | Red led will solid on for 5 seconds. Means LHT65N-PIR is in Deep Sleep Mode. |
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.
Assume the LPS8v2 is already set to connect to TTN V3 network, So it provides network coverage for LHT65N-PIR. Next we need to add the LHT65N-PIR 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-PIR.
Each LHT65N-PIR is shipped with a sticker with its device EUI, APP Key and APP EUI as below:
User can enter these keys in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN V3 screenshot:
Add APP EUI in the application.
Note: LHT65N-PIR use same payload decoder as LHT65.
Input APP EUI, APP KEY and DEV EUI:
2.3.2 Step 2: Activate LHT65N-PIR by pressing the ACT button for more than 5 seconds.
Use ACT button to activate LHT65N-PIR 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.
2.4 Uplink Payload--Device Status, (Fport=5)
Users can use the downlink command(0x26 01) to ask LHT65N-PIR to send device configure detail, include device configure status. LHT65N-PIR will uplink a payload via FPort=5 to server.
The Payload format is as below.
Device Status (FPORT=5) | |||||

2.5 Uplink Payload, Sensor Data ( Fport=2)
The uplink payload includes totally 11 bytes. Uplink packets use FPORT=2 and every 20 minutes send one uplink by default.
After each uplink, the BLUE LED will blink once.

Note: Uplink by activity is disable by default.
The 9th ~ 11st byte: Movement Detect Count.
0x00 E5 09 : Total detect 58633 activity since end node start.
2.6 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:
Select default key as Access Key:
In Datacake console (https://datacake.co/) , add LHT65 device.
2.7 Alarm Mode & Feature "Multi sampling, one uplink"
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.

Explain:
- parameter1: Set Working Mode to Mode 3
- parameter2: Set the temperature sampling mode to 1(1:DS18B20;2:TMP117;3: Internal GXHT30).
- parameter3: Sampling Interval is 60s.
- parameter4: When there is 20 sampling dats, Device will send these data via one uplink. (max value is 60, means max 60 sampling in one uplink)
- parameter5 & parameter6: Temperature alarm range is -16 to 32°C,
- parameter7: 1 to enable temperature alarm, 0 to disable the temperature alarm. If alarm is enabled, a data will be sent immediately if temperate exceeds the Alarm range.

2.8 LED Indicator
The LHT65N-PIR has a triple color LED which for easy showing different stage .
While user press ACT button, the LED will work as per LED status with ACT button.
In a normal working state:
- For each uplink, the RED LED will blink once.
- For each success downlink, the PURPLE LED will blink once.
2.9 installation
1. Don't install LHT65N-PIR outdoor or place where will get wet.
2. Towards the PIR probe to the place where need to monitor activity. Below is the detect beam.
Stable distance is 0~3m. Some motion might not detected between 3~5 m.
Notice: PIR can only detect motion activity, not to use to detect static people case.
- 1. PIR Motion Detector should not be installed near the Air conditioner places where with cold wind or hot wind flow, because PIR motion detector is sensitive with the temperature changes of the environment. Environment changes quickly will cause a false alarm.
- 2. PIR should not be installed facing the glass window, facing glass window will be interfered by the outside sunlight and moving objects (people or vehicle). The infrared energy can penetrate the glass window.
- 3. PIR should not be installed facing the moving objects or background changing objects, movement object will cause airflow change, it may cause false alarm.
- 4. Between the detection range of PIR Motion detector, there is should be less objects. Many objects may reduce the sensitive of detection range.
- 5. Do not install more than one (2 or above) Wireless PIR in the same detection space (like at the same room).
