2. Connect LHT65N to IoT Server

2.1 How does LHT65N work?

2.2 How to Activate LHT65N?

• 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.  

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.

2.3.1 Step 1: Create Device on TTN

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

Add APP EUI in the application.

1. Create application

2. Register end device 

Note: LHT65N use same payload as LHT65.

Input JoinEUI(APPEUI),  DEVEUI and APPKEY:

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

2.4 Uplink Payload (Fport=2)

• The First 6 bytes: has fix meanings for every LHT65N.

• The 7th byte (EXT #): defines the external sensor model. 

• The 8^th ~ 11^th 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

2.4.2 BAT-Battery Info

These two bytes of BAT include the battery state and the actually voltage.

(b)stands for binary

Check the battery voltage for LHT65N.

• BAT status=(0Xcba4>>14)&0xFF=11 (BIN) ，very good

• Battery Voltage =0xCBA4&0x3FFF=0x0BA4=2980mV

2.4.3 Built-in Temperature

• Temperature:  0x0ABB/100=27.47℃

• Temperature:  (0xF5C6-65536)/100=-26.18℃

2.4.4 Built-in Humidity

• Humidity:    0x025C/10=60.4%

2.4.5 Ext #

Bytes for External Sensor:

2.4.6 Ext value

2.4.6.1 Ext=1, E3 Temperature Sensor

• DS18B20 temp=0x0ADD/100=27.81℃

The last 2 bytes of data are meaningless

• External temperature= (0xF54F-65536)/100=-27.37℃

F54F :  (F54F & 8000 == 1) , temp = (F54F - 65536)/100 = 27.37℃

（0105 & 8000：Judge whether the highest bit is 1, when the highest bit is 1, it is negative）

The last 2 bytes of data are meaningless

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

• Battery status & Built-in Humidity

• Status & Ext Byte

• Poll Message Flag:    1: This message is a poll message reply, 0: means this is a normal uplink.
• 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.

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

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

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

3) Within range

2.4.6.4 Ext=2 TMP117 Sensor(Since Firmware v1.3)

Ext=2,Temperature Sensor(TMP117):

Interrupt Mode and Counting Mode:

The external cable NE2 can be use for MOD4 and MOD8

2.4.6.5 Ext=11 SHT31 Sensor (Since Firmware v1.4.1)

Ext=11,Temperature & Humidity Sensor(SHT31):

2.4.6.6 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.

Ext=4,Interrupt Sensor：

Trigger by falling edge:

Trigger by raising edge:

BAT & BAT Status :

Check the battery voltage.

Ex1: 0x0B45 = 2885mV

Ex2: 0x0B49 = 2889mV

TempC_SHT :

The temperature detected by the built-in temperature and humidity sensor SHT31.

If payload is: 0105H:  (0105 & 8000 == 0), temp = 0105H /10 = 26.1 degree

If payload is: FF3FH :  (FF3F & 8000 == 1) , temp = (FF3FH - 65536)/10 = -19.3 degrees.

(FF3F & 8000: Judge whether the highest bit is 1, when the highest bit is 1, it is negative)

Hum_SHT :

The humidity detected by the built-in temperature and humidity sensor SHT31.

Read:0295(H)=661(D)    Value:  661 / 10=66.1, So 66.1%

Status & Ext :

• Poll Message Flag:   1: This message is a poll message reply, 0: means this is a normal uplink.
• 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)

Exti_pin_level : 

• Wet contacts: high and low levels . 1: high level; 0: low level.
• Dry contacts:  1: closed; 0: open

Exti_status :

Determines whether the uplink packet is generated by an interrupt.

1: Interrupt packet

0: Normal TDC uplink packet

senseless :

Reserved position, meaningless. The value is fixed to 0x7FFF.

2.4.6.7 Ext=8 Counting Mode(Since Firmware v1.3)

Note: In this mode, 3.3v output will be always ON. LHT65N will count for every interrupt and uplink periodically.

Case 1:  Low power consumption Flow Sensor, such flow sensor has pulse output and the power consumption in uA level and can be powered by LHT65N. 

Case 2:  Normal Flow Sensor: Such flow sensor has higher power consumption and is not suitable to be powered by LHT65N. It is powered by external power and output <3.3v pulse

Ext=8, Counting Sensor ( 4 bytes)：

A2 downlink Command：

A2 02:             Same as AT+EXT=2   (AT+EXT= second byte)

A2 06 01 F4:   Same as AT+EXT=6,500  (AT+EXT= second byte, third and fourth bytes)

A2 04 02:        Same as AT+EXT=4,2  (AT+EXT= second byte, third byte)

A2 08 01 00:   Same as AT+EXT=8,0  (AT+EXT= second byte, fourth byte)

A2 08 02 00 00 00 3C:    Same as AT+ SETCNT=60  (AT+ SETCNT = 4th byte and 5th byte and 6th byte and 7th byte)

2.4.6.8 Ext=10, E2 sensor (TMP117)with Unix Timestamp(Since firmware V1.3.2)

• 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)

2.5 Show data on Datacake

Select default key as Access Key:

In Datacake console (https://datacake.co/) , add LHT65 device.

2.6 Datalog Feature

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)

2.6.2 Unix TimeStamp

LHT65N uses Unix TimeStamp format based on

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

Below is the converter example

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

2.6.4 Poll sensor value

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

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:

Poll message flag & Ext:

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:

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 & Feature "Multi sampling, one uplink"

2.7.2 ALARM MODE ( Before v1.3.1 firmware)

Downlink Command: AAXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Total bytes: 8 bytes

Example:AA0100010001003C

WMOD=01

CITEMP=0001

TEMPlow=0001

TEMPhigh=003C

2.8 LED Indicator

The LHT65 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 BLUE LED or RED LED will blink once.
  BLUE LED when external sensor is connected.
• RED LED when external sensor is not connected
• For each success downlink, the PURPLE LED will blink once

6.5 How to upgrade firmware?

The firmware before V1.4 does not have wireless upgrade function, and the starting address of the firmware is 0x08000000.
Since and including V1.4, LHT65N supports wireless upgrade, and its firmware is divided into bootloader + working firmware. Burning bootloader selects address 0x08000000, and burning working firmware selects address 0x0800D000.

LHT65N has two types of firmware: Firmware with bootloader and Firmware without bootloader. Firmware Download Link:

Use UART connection to update the firmware, detailed description of UART refer to FAQ 6.1, Connection Example:

Note: To use the TremoProgrammer the node must be put into burn mode, i.e. the USB-TTL adapter 3.3V must be connected to the BOOT_CONTROL pin of the LHT65N.

• For the connection  E2 cable <----> USB-TTL adapter: 

          Port 4(Blue wire)<---->USB-TTL 3V3

• For the connection  USB Type-C Extender<---->USB-TTL adapter:

         Pin 6<---->USB-TTL 3V3

6.5.1 Burning firmware before V1.3 (including V1.3)

Burning firmware prior to and including V1.3 can only be done using the  TremoProgrammer, select the burn address: 0x08000000

According to the above instructions to enter the burning mode, re-install the battery to reset the node, press the ACT button LED does not light up, the node successfully entered the burning mode, click "START".

6.5.2 Updated firmware for V1.4 and above

Updating firmware version V1.4 and above requires distinguishing whether the firmware comes with a bootloader or not.

• For version V1.4 and above, we ship nodes with bootloader, users can directly choose firmware without bootloader to upgrade directly. Use TremoProgrammer to start at address 0x0800D000. Using Dragino Sensor Manager Utility.exe does not require address selection, but must use firmware without bootloader.
• For nodes where the bootloader was accidentally erased, customers need to burn the bootloader and working firmware using TremoProgrammer.

The firmware of V1.4 and above updated on our official website will note whether it comes with bootloader or not, customers need to choose the appropriate update method according to the firmware type.

6.5.2.1 Update firmware (Assume device already have bootloader)

Step1 : Connect UART as per FAQ 6.1

Step2 : Update follow Instruction for update via DraginoSensorManagerUtility.exe. Make sure to use the firmware without bootloader.

(Recommanded way) OTA firmware update via wireless : http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Firmware%20OTA%20Update%20for%20Sensors/

6.5.2.2 Update firmware (Assume device doesn't have bootloader)

In this update method, make sure to use the firmware with bootloader , Download Link  . After update , device will have bootloader so can use above method( 6.5.2.1) to update.

Step1: Install TremoProgrammer  first.

Step2: Hardware Connection 

Connect PC and LHT65N via USB TTL adapter .

Note: Burn mode: Port4 (BOOT_CTL) of E2 cable connects 3V3 of USB-TTL.

Connection method:

USB-TTL GND <--> Port 1 of E2 cable

USB-TTL 3V3 <--> Port 4 of E2 cable

USB-TTL TXD <--> Port 9 of E2 cable

USB-TTL RXD <--> Port 5 of E2 cable

Step3: Select the device port to be connected, baud rate and bin file to be downloaded.

Reset node:  Short-circuit the port3(RST) of the E2 cable to GND.  /The new motherboard cancels the RST, and the battery needs to be reinstalled to achieve the reset effect.

Then click the start button to start the firmware upgrade.

When this interface appears, it indicates that the download has been completed.

Finally, Disconnect Port4 of E2 cable, reset the node again (Port3 shorted GND/ /The new motherboard cancels the RST, and the battery needs to be reinstalled to achieve the reset effect.), and the node exits burning mode.

6.6 Why can't I see the datalog information

1. The time is not aligned, and the correct query command is not used.

2. Decoder error, did not parse the datalog data, the data was filtered.

6.7 How can i read sensor data without LoRaWAN? For Calibration Purpose

Some clients need to calibrate the sensor value in calibration Lab. In such case, Reading the data without LoRaWAN network is more convinient. To achieve this, use can use a USB Type-C Breakout board to expose the UART pins while still have the probe connected. See below. Detail Pin out please refer the FAQ of how to connect UART

After there is UART Connectio, run below commands:

1. AT+NJM=0   // Set Device to ABP mode , so can works without join to LoRaWAN server.

2. AT+GETSENSORVALUE=0      //The serial port gets the reading of the current sensor.

Example output:
