2. How to use LSN50v2-S31?
2.1 How it works
The LSN50v2-S31 is working as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A end node. Each LSN50v2-S31 is shipped with a worldwide unique set of OTAA and ABP keys. User needs to input the OTAA or ABP keys in the LoRaWAN network server to register. Open the enclosure and power on the LSN50v2-S31, it will join the LoRaWAN network and start to transmit data. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.
2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA)
Here is an example for how to join the TTN LoRaWAN Server. Below is the network structure, in this demo we use DLOS8 as LoRaWAN gateway.
The DLOS8 is already set to connect to TTN . What the rest we need to is register the LSN50V2-S31 to TTN:
Step 1: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from LSN50V2-S31.
Each LSN50V2-S31 is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:
You can enter this key in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN screen shot:
Register the device：
Add APP EUI and DEV EUI：
Add APP EUI in the application：
Add APP KEY
Step 2: Power on LSN50v2-S31
Step 3: LSN50V2-S31 will auto join to TTN network via the LoRaWAN coverage by DLOS8. After join success, LSN50V2-S31 will start to uplink temperature value to server.
2.3 Uplink Payload
2.3.1 Payload Analyze
Normal Upload Payload:
LSN50v2-S31 use the same payload as LSn50v2 mod1, as below. (Since firmware version 1.8.0, the third to sixth bytes are timestamps)
Size(bytes) | 2 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Value |
Battery:
Check the battery voltage.
Ex1: 0x0B45 = 2885mV
Ex2: 0x0B49 = 2889mV
Temperature:
Example:
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)
Humidity:
Read:0x(0197)=412 Value: 412 / 10=41.2, So 41.2%
Alarm Flag& MOD:
Example:
If payload & 0x01 = 0x01 --> This is an Alarm Message
If payload & 0x01 = 0x00 --> This is a normal uplink message, no alarm
If payload >> 2 = 0x00 --> means MOD=1, This is a sampling uplink message
If payload >> 2 = 0x31 --> means MOD=31, this message is a reply message for polling, this message contains the alarm settings. see this link for detail.
2.3.2 Payload Decoder file
In TTN, use can add a custom payload so it shows friendly.
In the page Applications --> Payload Formats --> Custom --> decoder to add the decoder from:
2.3.3 Historical Temperature and humidity of S31, FPORT=3(Since firmware 1.8.0)
S31 stores sensor values and users can retrieve these history values via the downlink command.
The historical payload includes one or multiplies entries and every entry has the same payload as Real-Time water flow status.
- Each data entry is 11 bytes and has the same structure as real time water flow status, to save airtime and battery, S31 will send max bytes according to the current DR and Frequency bands.
For example, in the 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 S31 doesn't have any data in the polling time. It will uplink 11 bytes of 0

S31 uses Unix TimeStamp format based on
Users can get this time from the link: https://www.epochconverter.com/ :
Below is the converter example
2.4.2 Set Device Time
Through LoRaWAN MAC Command
Once S31 Joined the LoRaWAN network, it will send the MAC command (DeviceTimeReq) and the server will reply with (DeviceTimeAns) to send the current time to S31. If S31 fails to get the time from the server, S31 will use the internal time and wait for the next time request.
Note: LoRaWAN Server needs to support LoRaWAN v1.0.3(MAC v1.0.3) or higher to support this MAC command feature.
2.4.3 Poll sensor value
Users can poll sensor values based on timestamps. Below is the downlink command.
| Downlink Command to poll Open/Close status (0x31) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1byte | 4bytes | 4bytes | 1byte |
| 31 | Timestamp start | Timestamp end | Uplink Interval |
Timestamp start and Timestamp end-use Unix TimeStamp format as mentioned above. Devices will reply with all data logs during this period, using the uplink interval.
For example, downlink command
Is to check 2021/11/12 12:00:00 to 2021/11/12 15:00:00's data
Uplink Internal =5s，means CPL01 will send one packet every 5s. range 5~255s.
