1. Introduction

1.1 What is LHT65N LoRaWAN 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:

Behavior on ACTFunctionAction
Pressing ACT between 1s < time < 3sTest uplink status

If LHT65N is already Joined to rhe LoRaWAN network, LHT65N will send an uplink packet, if LHT65N has external sensor connected,Blue led will blink once. If LHT65N has not external sensor, Red led will blink once.

Pressing ACT for more than 3sActive Device

Green led will fast blink 5 times, LHT65N will enter working mode and start to JOIN LoRaWAN network.
Green led will solidly turn on for 5 seconds after join in network.

Fast press ACT 5 times.Deactivate DeviceRed led will solid on for 5 seconds. Means LHT65N 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.

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 on 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-20230426083319-1.png

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 

image-20240710153745-4.png

Note: LHT65N use same payload as LHT65.

Input JoinEUI(APPEUI),  DEVEUI and APPKEY:

image-20240710154010-5.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.

2.4 Uplink Payload (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.

  • 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

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

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:

Select default key as Access Key:

image-20220523000825-8.png

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

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.

1byte4bytes4bytes1byte
31Timestamp startTimestamp endUplink Interval

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.

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:

5. Battery & How to replace

5.1 Battery Type

LHT65N is equipped with a 2400mAH Li-MnO2 (CR17505) battery . The battery is an un-rechargeable battery with low discharge rate targeting for up to 8~10 years use. This type of battery is commonly used in IoT devices for long-term running, such as water meters.

The discharge curve is not linear so can't simply use percentage to show the battery level. Below is the battery performance.

image-20220515075034-1.png

The minimum Working Voltage for the LHT65N is ~ 2.5v. When battery is lower than 2.6v, it is time to change the battery.
 

5.2 Replace Battery

LHT65N has two screws on the back, Unscrew them, and changing the battery inside is ok. The battery is a general CR17450 battery. Any brand should be ok.

Please see this link: http://wiki.dragino.com/xwiki/bin/view/Main/How%20to%20set%20the%20transmit%20time%20interval/ 

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:

1655802313617-381.png

image-20240122092100-1.jpeg

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

image-20240720093846-3.jpeg

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

         Pin 6<---->USB-TTL 3V3

image-20240720093332-1.jpeg

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".

image-20240716174308-1.png

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.

image-20220615170542-5.png

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

image-20240122105429-4.png image-20240122115332-5.jpegimage-20240122134009-1.jpeg

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

image-20220615171334-6.png

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.

image-20220620160723-8.png

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

image-20240122092100-1.jpeg

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:
