1. Introduction
1.1 What is LWL02 LoRaWAN Door Sensor
The Dragino LWL02 is a LoRaWAN Water Sensor. When there is water between the two metal
probes, LWL02 indicates a water leak event and uplink to IoT server via LoRaWAN network.
LWL02 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, which result in 2 ~ 10 years battery life. After
battery running out, user can easily open the enclosure and replace with 2 common AAA
batteries.
The LWL02 will send periodically data every day as well as for each water leak event. It also
counts the water leak times and calculate last water leak duration. User can also disable the
uplink for each water leak event, instead, device can count each event and uplink periodically.
Each LWL02 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.

2. Power ON LWL02
When receive the LWL02, please open the enclosure and add 2 x AAA batteries to power it. The
LED will blink when device is powered.
3. How to install LWL02
When install the LWL02 on wall. Please install as below so the water leak probe will be soak in
water for water detect purpose. The LWL02 main body is not water proof. Please don’t let water
go inside the LWL02 main body.

4. Operation Mode
4.1 How it works?
The LWL02 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 LWL02. 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.
4.2 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 LWL02 has water leak detect probe as above. When there is water between these two detect
probe, they will be short and generate the water leak event. and send the status to LoRaWAN
server. The LWL02 will uplink two type of messages to the server.
✓ A keep-alive message which send once per day.
✓ An emergency event message when detect a water leak. (Alarm event can be disabled)
✓ A periodically update at every 10 minutes when in water leak.
✓ A message when switch from water leak to none water leak. (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 LWL02.
Each LWL02 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.

Step 2: Power on LWL02 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.

4.5 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:

4.6 Alarm Base on Timeout
LWL02 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. LWL02 will send an uplink packet, the Alarm bit (the
lowest bit of 10th byte of payload) on this uplink packet is set to 1.
➢ 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.

5. Battery & How to replace
5.1 Battery Type and replace
LWL02 is equipped with 2 x AAA LR03 batteries. If the batteries running low(see 2.1v in the
platform). User can buy generic AAA battery and replace it. Note:
1) The LWL02 doesn’t have any screw, use can use nail to open it by the middle.
2) 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:
5.2 Power Consumption Analyze
Dragino battery powered product are all runs in Low Power mode. We have an update battery
calculator which base on the measurement of the real device. User can use this calculator to
check the battery life and calculate the battery life if want to use different transmit interval.
Instruction to use as below:
Step 1: Downlink the up-to-date DRAGINO_Battery_Life_Prediction_Table.xlsx from:
https://www.dragino.com/downloads/index.php?dir=LoRa_End_Node/Battery_Analyze/
Step 2: Open it and choose
➢ Product Model
➢ Uplink Interval
➢ Working Mode
And the Life expectation in difference case will be shown on the right.

6. Use AT Command
6.1 Access AT Command
LWL02 supports AT Command set. User can use a USB to TTL adapter to configure LWL02 via use
AT command, as below.
USB to TTL <- -> LWL02
RX <- -> TX
TX <- -> RX
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 LWL02. 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.
www.dragino.com
LoRaWAN Water Leak Sensor User Manual 24 / 25
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
7. FAQ
7.1 How to upgrade the image?

upgrade instruction is here:
http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=Firmware_Upgrade_Instruction
7.2 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.
7.3 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
