Report thelatest data| Blue LED on| The IAQ sensor uploads the data when thefunction button is pressed briefly.

Error Status
If the sensor is configured for the OTAA activation mode and it cannot join the LoRaWAN network in 3 minutes after powering on, the LED indicator will flash blue for 2 minutes.

LED Status Corresponding to AQI
LED indicators report air quality index during normal operation. The Air Quality Index (AQI) indicates air quality and its impact on health, ranging from 0 to 500.

NOTE

• On battery powered sensors, the LED indicator flashes every 5 seconds.
• On DC-powered sensors, the LED indicator has a breathing effect.

Device Installation

The IAQ sensor is a complete node device, so users do not need to assemble it after unpacking. Refer to the following sections for mounting the sensor to the appropriate location and relevant operations on the sensor.

Wall Mounting
Prerequisites

1. Ensure the sensor is not connected to any DC power supply.

2. Loosen the screws and open the cover of the sensor.
   
   Figure 3: Open the sensor cover

3. Connect the wires connecting the DC power supply to the terminal block on the bottom of the sensor or insert two ER26500 Lithium-SOCl2 batteries into the battery compartment.

4. Put on the cover and fasten screws on the corner.

Figure 4: Put the lid on and secure it

Installation Steps

1. Perform a site survey and make sure that the SENSO8 IAQ sensor has good LoRaWAN network coverage.

2. Mount the sensor’s base on the wall with the double arrow pointing upwards and fix it with four (4) screws.
   
   Figure 5: Secure the base to the wall

3. As shown in Figure 6, attach the sensor’s main body to the base in the proper orientation.
   
   Figure 6: Attach the sensor to Base

4. Slide the sensor’s main body down until it is secured to the base.
   
   Figure 7: Firmly snap the sensor into the base

5. Secure the sensor’s main body in place by tightening the screw.

Figure 8: Secure the sensor

Network Server Configuration

Connect to Network Server
This section will guide you through the process of connecting the sensor device to a third-party cloud network server (TTN). This enables users to integrate visualization applications on the third-party cloud network server and manage sensor data in real time.

Connect to The Things Stack

1. Create an account on the TTN website if you don’t have one, or log in using your existing The Things ID credentials.
   
   Figure 9: Log in to TTS.

2. Click Create an application to add a new node.
   
   Figure 10: TTN Console

3. Click +Create application to set up a new application.
   
   Figure 11: Click +Create Application

4. Enter the Application ID field and click **Create application.

Figure 12:** Fill out the fields and create a new application

5. Click +Register end device in the lower right corner to add an end device.
   
   Figure 13: Click on +Register end device

6. As shown in Figure 14, set the parameters of the end device.
   
   Figure 14: Configure LoRaWAN parameters

   • Frequency plan: Please ensure that the frequency plan is consistent with the one in the gateway. In this example, it is AS923.
   • DevEUI: Read or scan the QR code on the back of the device to obtain it. In this case, it is 70B3D58C90000AFC.
   • AppKey: 5885A93E5E5D08EB7A1956B3021E906F (fixed value).
   • AppEUI: 70B3D58C902C7D01 (fixed value).

7. As shown in Figure 15, it means that the SENSO8 LoRaWAN IAQ sensor has successfully joined the TTN network server.
   
   Figure 15: Sensor successfully connected

NOTE
Before linking the sensor device to the TTN network server, ensure that the gateway is already connected to the TTN.
If you are using RAK’s gateway product, refer to the Basics Station Configuration Example (Connect to TTS) for the relevant operation steps.

Basic Settings
The following sensor settings are configurable via downlink data. The details of the data payload format can be found on the SENSO8 LoRaWAN IAQ Sensor Data Payload Format document.

setup by examining the configuration, such as:

• Activation
• Mode
• Frequency plan

|

• Device information
• All security keys on the LoRaWAN server and the sensor.

Any setting discrepancies will hinder data transmission to the LoRaWAN network server.

---|---
The sensor cannot be configured via the downlink command.| Check the downlink command is sent as a CONFIRMED downlink message.
The alert is not cleared when the reading is returned to the normal level.| For each alert, there is a hysteresis setting to prevent the alert from triggering repetitively when the reading fluctuates around the threshold. Example:If the high-temperature threshold is 30, it will trigger an alert when the temperature is above 30. The alert will be cleared when the temperature falls below 29 (hysteresis of 1) rather than 30.

Data Description

This section outlines the data payload format of downlink and uplink LoRaWAN data for the sensor.

Uplink Data
The sensor measures the data every minute in the background. If a reading surpasses either one of the thresholds, the sensor promptly transmits uplink data to the network server, accompanied by the relevant alert. Otherwise, the sensor reverts to sleep mode.

Once the data upload interval is reached, the sensor will send uplink data with the latest sensor’s reading

Figure 16: Data upload flow

Data Reporting
The IAQ sensor sends an uplink data report in the following cases:

• Periodic heartbeat
• Button press
• Air condition exceeds preset threshold
