Introduction

What is LDS02 LoRaWAN Door Sensor

The Dragino LDS02 is a LoRaWAN Door Sensor. It detects door open/close status and uplink to IoT server via LoRaWAN network. user can see the door status, open time, open counts in the IoT Server.
LDS02 is powered by 2 x AAA batteries and target for long time use, these two batteries can provide about 16,000 ~ 70,000 uplink packets. After battery running out, user can easily open the enclosure and replace with 2 common AAA batteries.
The LDS02 will send periodically data every day as well as for each door open/close action. It also counts the door open times and calculate last door open duration. User can also disable the uplink for each open/close event, instead, device can count each open event and uplink periodically.
LDS02 has the open alarm feature, user can set this feature so device will send Alarm if the door has been open for a certain time.
Each LDS02 is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, register these keys to LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

Power ON LDS02

When receive the LDS02, please open the enclosure and add 2 x AAA batteries to power it. The LED will blink when device is powered.

How to install LDS02

When install the LDS02 on wall. Please make sure install as below so the marks will close to each other when close the door. Open/Close threshold range: ~ 25mm

Operation Mode

How it works?

The LDS02 is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, user just need to input the OTAA keys in the network server and power on the LDS02. It will auto join the network via OTAA.

In case user can’t set the OTAA keys in the network server and has to use the existing keys from server. User can use AT Command to set the keys in the devices.

Example to join LoRaWAN network

Here shows an example for how to join the TTN V3 Network. Below is the network structure, we use LG308 as LoRaWAN gateway here.

The LDS02 in installed on the door edge to detect the open / close event. And send the status to LoRaWAN server. The LDS02 will uplink two type of messages to the server.

A keep-alive message which send once per day.
A door event message when there is a door open/close. ( Alarm event can be disabled )

The LG308 is already set to connect to TTN V3 network. What we need to now is only configure the TTN V3:

Step 1: Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from LDS02.
Each LDS02 is shipped with a sticker with unique device EUI:
User can enter this key in their LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN V3 screen shot: Add APP EUI in the application.

Add APP KEY and DEV EUI

Step 2: P ower on LDS02 and it will auto join to the TTN V3 network. After join success, it will start to upload message to TTN V3 and user can see in the panel.

Uplink Payload

Uplink Payload total 10 bytes.

Size(bytes)	2	1
value	Status&BAT	MOD
Always:0x01	Total open
door events	Last door open
duration (unit: min)	Alarm

Example:

payload: 0B 88 01 00 25 00 01 BAT_V: 2.952 DOOR_OPEN_STATUS: 0 DOOR_OPEN_TIMES: 37 LAST_DOOR_OPEN_DURATION: 1MOD: 1

Example Payload Decoder in TTN V3: http://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_End_Node/LDS02/Payload/

Downlink Payload

Downlink Control Type| Type Code| Downlink payload
size(bytes)
---|---|---
TDC (Transmit Time Interval—Keep Alive Interval)| 0x01| 4
RESET| 0x04| 2
Set confirmed mode| 0x05| 2
Clear Counting| 0xA6| 2
Enable/Disable Alarm| 0xA7| 2
Control ADR/DR| 0xA8| 3
Set Alarm Timeout| 0xA9| 4

Example Downlink payload setting in TTN V3:

Type Code 0x01
If the payload=0100003C, means to control the LDS02’s Keep Alive interval to 0x00003C=60(S)

Type Code 0x04
If payload = 0x04FF, it will reset the LDS02.

Type Code 0x05
0x05 00: Set uplink to LoRaWAN unconfirmed mode
0x05 01: Set uplink to LoRaWAN confirmed mode

Type Code 0xA6
Example: 0xA601: Clear Counting
For LDS02: reset both count number and time.

Type Code 0xA7
0xA7 01 : Equal to AT+DISALARM=1
0xA7 00 : Equal to AT+DISALARM=0

Type Code 0xA8
Format: 0xA8 aa bb
aa: 1: Enable ADR; 0: Disable ADR (Same as AT+CADR command)
bb: set DR (Same as AT+CDATARATE ,only valid after ADR=0)
Example: 0x A8 00 02 : Set ADR=0 and DR=1

Type Code 0xA9
See Alarm Base Timeout for detail.

Integrate with Datacake

Datacake provides a human friendly interface to show the sensor data, once we have 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 network at this time.
Step 2: To configure the Application to forward data to Datacake you will need to add integration. To add the Datacake integration, perform the following steps:

Step 3: Create an account or log in Datacake.
Step 4: Search LDS02 and add DevEUI.

Alarm Base on Timeout

LDS02 can monitor the timeout for a status change, this feature can be used to monitor some event such as open fridge too long etc.
User configure this feature by using:

AT Command to configure:

AT+TTRIG=1,30 → When status change from close to open, and device keep in open
status for more than 30 seconds. LDS02 will send an uplink packet, the Alarm bit (the lowest bit of 10th byte of payload) on this uplink packet is set to

AT+TTIG=0,0 → Default Value, disable timeout Alarm.

Downlink Command to configure:
Command: 0xA9 aa bb cc
A9: Command Type Code
aa: status to be monitor
bb cc: timeout.

If user send 0xA9 01 00 1E: equal to AT+TTRIG=1,30 Or 0xA9 00 00 00: Equal to AT+TTRIG=0,0. Disable timeout Alarm.

LEDs

Action	LED behavior
Power On	GREEN on 1s, RED on 1s, BLUE on 1s
Joined successful	GRENN LED on 5s
Send an uplink message	GREEN LED blinks once
Got a downlink message	BLUE LED blinks once

Battery & How to replace

Battery Type and replace

LDS02 is equipped with 2 x AAA LR03 batteries. If the batteries running low (shows 2.1v in the platform). User can buy generic AAA battery and replace it.

Note:

The LDS02 doesn’t have any screw, use can use nail to open it by the middle.
Make sure the direction is correct when install the AAA batteries.

Important Notice: Make sure use new AAA LR03 battery and the battery doesn’t have broken surface.

Example of AAA LR03 batter:

Battery Life Analyze

Dragino battery powered products are all run in Low Power mode. User can check the guideline from this link to calculate the estimate battery life: https://www.dragino.com/downloads/downloads/LoRa_End_Node/Battery_Analyze/DRAGINO_Battery_Life_Guide.pdf

Use AT Command

Access AT Command

LDS02 supports AT Command set. User can use a USB to TTL adapter to configure LDS02 via use AT command, as below.

USB to TTL <- -> LDS02
RX <- -> TXD
TX <- -> RXD
GND <- -> GND

In PC, User needs to set serial tool(such as putty, SecureCRT) baud rate to 115200 to access to access serial console of LDS02. Below is the output for reference: The AT Access password is **123456.

**

Each AT Command need to add an ENTER at the end before send.
When entering the first command, the RED LED will on and user can now input AT Commands. After input all needed AT Commands, please input AT+CLPM=1 to set the device to work in Low Power mode and RED LED will be off.

More detail AT Command manual can be found at AT Command Manual

FAQ

How to upgrade the image?

User can upgrade the firmware of LDS02 for bug fix, new features, or change working region. The upgrade instruction are here:
http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Firmware_Upgrade_Instruction

How to change the LoRa Frequency Bands/Region?

If user has for example US915 frequency and want to change it to AS923 frequency. User can follow the introduction for how to upgrade image. When download the images, choose the required image file for download.

Can I disable uplink for each event to save battery life?

Yes, User can use below method to disable this:

via AT Command:
AT+DISALARM=1, End node will only send packet in TDC time.
AT+DISALARM=0, End node will send packet in TDC time or status change for door sensor.

via LoRaWAN downlink Command:
0xA701 : Equal to AT+DISALARM=1
0xA700 : Equal to AT+DISALARM=0
