Telethings LOTE-L1 Smart LoRaWAN Thermostat
BASIC INFORMATION / PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Thermometer LoRaWAN is a device intended to control the heating and/or cooling system, or to control both systems at the same time, as well as displaying humidity percentage on the display. Communication is done over the LoRaWAN network, that is, Thermometer sends data(current temperature, set temperature and current room humidity) to the server and then the server sends a response back to device based on acquired data. Thermometer LoRaWAN is directly connecting with heating/cooling system, and based on set and the current temperature it regulates the heating/cooling system.
Advantages and main characteristics of this device:
- The thermometer is low energy consumer
- The thermometer on display shows the Current and Set temperature and Current room humidity
- Possibility to control temperature over great distances uzing LoRaWAN communication
- Simple device installation
- Simple device handling

MENUS FOR CONFIGURING THE THERMOMETER
Besides the main view, which shows the current temperature and current room humidity, Thermometer has got 4 menus for configuring the device:
- Menu for setting the temperature – Pressing the button Mode or pressing the button UP/Down device enters the menu for setting the temperature. By pressing the button ON/OFF, setting the temperature will not be done and the device will go back to main view. By not pressing any buttons for 3 seconds, the temperature will be set and device will go back to main view,
- Menu for enabling/disable relay regulation (ON or FF) – By pressing the button Mode twice, the device is entering the menu for enabling/disabling regulation. Buttons UP/Down, ON –regulation is enabled, OF – regulation is disabled,
- Menu for changing measuring unit (°C or °F) – By pressing the button Mode three times, the device is entering the menu for changing the measuring unit. Buttons UP/Down, device’s measuring unit can be set to °C or °F,
- Menu for changing language (BA, EN, DE, NE, and FR) – By pressing the button Mode four times, the device enters the menu for changing language. By pressing buttons UP/Down device’s language can be set between BA (Bosnian), EN (English), DE (german), NE (dutch) and FR (french),
- Menu for showing current battery percentage – By pressing the button Mode five times, the device enters the menu for showing the current battery percentage. This menu is only for information purposes and shows current battery power in percentages (%).
If the button Mode is pressed six times, the device goes back to the main view.
MENU FOR SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
For the device to enter the menu for setting the temperature, the button Mode must be pressed one time or buttons UP/Down.

MENU FOR CHANGING MEASURING UNIT
For the device to enter the menu for changing the measuring unit, the button
Mode must be pressed tree times. To save the selected measuring unit, the
measuring unit must be selected with buttons UP/Down and wait for 3 seconds.
Then the device will go back to main view and the temperature will be shown in
the selected measuring unit. Also, setting temperature will be done with the
selected measuring unit. In the picture (Picture 7.) a process for changing
the measuring unit is shown.

MENU FOR CHANGING LANGUAGE
For the device to enter the menu for changing language, the button Mode must
be pressed four times. To save selected language, buttons UP/Down must be
pressed and desired language must be selected and also wait for 3 seconds for
the change to take effect. After that, device is going back to main
view.
On the picture (Picture 8.), a process of changing language is shown.
MENU FOR SHOWING THE CURRENT STATE OF BATTERY
For the device to enter the menu for showing the current state of the battery,
the button Mode must be pressed five times. This menu shows battery energy in
percentages (%) and it’s only for information purposes. In picture(Picture
9.), the process for displaying battery percentage is shown.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE
Due to the relevance and validity of measurement and regulation, wireless
thermostat should not be installed near heat sources, such as radiators,
furnaces, refrigerators and other objects which can emit heat in their
immediate vicinity.
Also, for the same reason, Home Sensor should not be installed near windows or
entrance doors. It’s not recommended to install devices (Home Sensor and
Control Box) on unstable surfaces, or surfaces which are exposed to
vibrations, due to a possible fall of device and physical damage. Keep devices
as far as possible from impact of high humidity and liquid sources due to a
possible damage of device’s electronic components. Keep the device out of
reach of children. Thank you for following our recommendations.

APPLICATION ON THE SERVER
Using application on the server, user can monitor current temperature values
and set temperature values, as well as current room humidity. Except from
checking states of humidity and temperatures, over the application on the
server user can set desired room temperature.
Thermometer communicates with Gateway using LoRaWAN network, while Gateway
communicates with application on the server using 3G/Ethernet.
The device, after certain period of time, automatically sends, to the
application, current temperature and set temperature data as well as current
room humidity. Every temperature and humidity change in the room results in
device sending that information to the application on the server.
