1.  Introduction

1.1 ​ What is DMT01 Wireless Meat Thermometer

The DMT01 is a professional-grade wireless meat thermometer engineered for accurate, real-time temperature monitoring in commercial cooking environments. Ideal for restaurants, central kitchens, catering services, and food processing facilities, the DMT01 ensures consistent results across various cooking methods—including grilling, smoking, roasting, deep-frying, sous vide, baking, and more. Its precise monitoring helps improve cooking efficiency, ensure food safety, and meet HACCP compliance standards.

The system consists of two components:
 - Food-grade BLE High-Temperature Probe – A durable, high-heat resistant probe that measures internal food temperature during cooking.
 - Charging Base with BLE & LoRaWAN Forwarder – This base not only charges the probe but also acts as a communication bridge. It receives temperature data from the BLE probe and transmits it via the LoRaWAN long-range wireless protocol to your IoT platform or monitoring system.

With its dual wireless support (BLE for close-range/small design and LoRaWAN for long-range data transmission), the DMT01 is ideal for both home cooking enthusiasts and commercial kitchen environments seeking smart, connected temperature monitoring.

1.6  Working mode

Deep Sleep Mode: Sensor doesn't have any  LoRaWAN activate. This mode is used for storage and shipping to save battery life.

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

1.7 LED Status

The DMT01 uses a dual-color LED to indicate system status:

LED BehaviorDescription
Green breathing effectProbe is inserted and charging
(LED turns off immediately when probe is removed)
Red solid (5 seconds)Mode switched successfully (after 1-3s button press)
Red blinking (15 seconds)Charging base low battery (<15% capacity)
Red/Green alternating blink (3 seconds)Device reset in progress (after 3s long press)    
Single green blinkBLE connection established between probe and base

Red/Green alternating blink (3 seconds), DMT01 will enter working mode and start to JOIN LoRaWAN network.
When the probe is placed in the repeater to charge, the green LED above the relay box will have a breathing effect. When the probe is taken out, the LED light will go out.

There are three operating modes:
Default LoRaWAN and Bluetooth broadcast mode,
Separate LoRaWAN mode

Separate Bluetooth broadcast mode.
Note: To switch modes, remove the probe and press the button; otherwise, the mode will not switch.

2.  Use DMT01

2.1  How it works

 

DMT01 Include two parts,

  1. The food grade probe : used to measure the meat temperature
  2. The Charger which is also a LoRaWAN End node: used to connect the probe via BLE and get the temperature and send via LoRaWAN to IoT server. 

Consider the BLE coverage , there is two cases:

Connection Mode: Probe is near by the Charge, within BLE range

Probe will establish connection to the charge via BLE.  and the data flow is as below. 

1753622303925-386.png

Broadcast Mode: Probe is far away from the Charge, out of BLE range

Probe will auto swtich to BLE broadcast mode and broadcast the data via BLE. Any BLE Scaner can pick up the signal and send to IoT server.

For example:

1) User can use BH01 BLE to LoRaWAN converter to pick up the BLE signal to IoT Server

2) User can use Mobile phone to get the broadcast signal and further process.

2.2 Activate Device

To use DMT01 send data to LoRaWAN network, user need to:

  1. Input the OTAA Keys in LoRaWAN Network Server
  2. Make sure there is LoraWAN network
  3. Press the button on the DMT01 for more than 3 seconds, DMT01 will start to connect to LoRaWAN network

After the DMT01 Join LoRaWAN network, once user take out the probe, the probe will start to measure temperature and user will be to see the data on the server. 

2.2  How it works?

 

The DMT01 is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join LoRaWAN network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, you need to input the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and press the button to activate the DMT01. It will automatically join the network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value. 

On each uplink, DMT01 will get the temperature from the sensor and send it to the server.

2.3  ​Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA)

Following is an example for how to join the TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network. Below is the network structure; we use the LPS8v2  as a LoRaWAN gateway in this example. 

The LPS8V2 is already set to connected to TTN network , so what we need to now is configure the TTN server.

Step 1: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from DMT01.

Each DMT01 is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:
