2. Connect LHT65S-E5 to IoT Server

2.1 How does LHT65S-E5 work?

2.2 How to Activate LHT65S-E5?

• Deep Sleep Mode: LHT65S-E5 doesn't have any LoRaWAN activation. This mode is used for storage and shipping to save battery life.

• Working Mode:     In this mode, LHT65S-E5 works as LoRaWAN Sensor mode to Join LoRaWAN network and send out the sensor data to the server. Between each sampling/tx/rx periodically, LHT65S-E5 will be in STOP mode (IDLE mode), in STOP mode, LHT65S-E5 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.

Assume the LPS8v2 is already set to connect to TTN V3 network, So it provides network coverage for LHT65S-E5. Next we need to add the LHT65S-E5 device in TTN V3:

2.3.1 Step 1: Create Device n TTN

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

Add APP EUI in the application.

Note: LHT65S-E5 use same payload decoder as LHT65.

Input APP EUI,  APP KEY and DEV EUI:

2.3.2 Step 2: Activate LHT65S-E5 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 LHT65S-E5.
• The 7th byte (EXT #): defines the external sensor model. It can be 0x05 or 0x09 for LHT65S-E5
• The 8^th ~ 9^th byte: Illuminance. Range: 0-65535 lx. 
• The 10th ~ 11th byte: Reserve, always 0xFFFF

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 LHT65S-E5 decoder in TTNv3 for friendly reading.

Below is the position to put the decoder and LHT65S-E5 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

Check the battery voltage for LHT65S-E5.

• BAT status=(0Xcba4>>14)&0xFF=11(B)，very good
• Battery Voltage =0xCBF6&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 value

2.4.5.1 Ext=0x05, Illuminance Sensor

• Illumination=0x005E=94 lux

The last 2 bytes of data are meaningless

• When the sensor is not connected or not connected properly, will show "NULL"

          The last 2 bytes of data are meaningless

2.4.5.2 Ext=0x85, E5 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, LHT65S-E5 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, LHT65S-E5 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, LHT65S-E5 will wait for ACK for every uplink, when there is no LoRaWAN network, LHT65S-E5 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) LHT65S-E5 will do an ACK check for data records sending to make sure every data arrive server.
• b) LHT65S-E5 will send data in CONFIRMED Mode when PNACKMD=1, but LHT65S-E5 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 LHT65S-E5 gets a ACK, LHT65S-E5 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

LHT65S-E5 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 LHT65S-E5 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 LHT65S-E5 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

LHT65S-E5 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

2.7.1 ALARM MODE

Downlink Command: AAXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Total bytes: 8 bytes

Example:AA0100010001003C

WMOD=01

CITEMP=0001

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
