1. Introduction
1.1 What is D2x-LB LoRaWAN Temperature Sensor
The Dragino D2x-LB is a LoRaWAN Temperature Sensor for Internet of Things solution. D2x-LB has 1 ~ 3 temperature probes. D2x-LB will convert the Temperature rea
to LoRaWAN wireless data and send to IoT platform via LoRaWAN gateway.
The LoRa wireless technology used in D2x-LB allows device to send data and reach extremely long ranges at low data-rates. It provides ultra-long range spread spectrum
communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current consumption.
The temperature sensor used in D2x-LB can measure -55°C ~ 125°C with accuracy ±0.5°C (max ±2.0 °C).
D2x-LB supports temperature alarm feature, user can set temperature alarm for instant notice. D2x-LB supports Datalog feature, it can save the data when there is no
LoRaWAN network and uplink when network recover.
D2x-LB has max 3 probes which measure maximum 3 temperature points.
D2x-LB supports BLE configure and wireless OTA update which make user easy to use.
D2x-LB is powered by 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery, it is designed for long term use up to 5 years.
Each D2x-LB is pre-load with a set of unique keys for LoRaWAN registrations, register these keys to local LoRaWAN server and it will auto connect after power on.

1.4 Sleep mode and working mode

Deep Sleep Mode: Sensor doesn't have any LoRaWAN activate. This mode is used for storage and shipping to save battery life.
Working Mode: In this mode, Sensor will work as LoRaWAN Sensor to Join LoRaWAN network and send out sensor data to server. Between each sampling/tx/rx periodi
sensor will be in IDLE mode), in IDLE mode, sensor has the same power consumption as Deep Sleep mode.

2. Configure D2x-LB to connect to LoRaWAN network
2.1 How it works
The D2x-LB is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. It has OTAA keys to join LoRaWAN network. To connect a local LoRaWAN network, you need to
the OTAA keys in the LoRaWAN IoT server and press the button to activate the D2x-LB. It will automatically join the network via OTAA and start to send the sensor value.
default uplink interval is 20 minutes.
2.2 Quick guide to connect to LoRaWAN server (OTAA)
Following is an example for how to join the TTN v3 LoRaWAN Network (https://console.cloud.thethings.network/) . Below is the network structure; we use the LPS8v2
(https://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-gateway/item/228-lps8v2.html) as a LoRaWAN gateway in this example.
The LPS8V2 is already set to connected to TTN network (https://console.cloud.thethings.network/) , so what we need to now is configure the TTN server.
Step 1: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from D2x-LB.
Each D2x-LB 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: Activate on D2x-LB
Press the button for 5 seconds to activate the D2x-LB.
Green led will fast blink 5 times, device will enter OTA mode for 3 seconds. And then start to JOIN LoRaWAN network. Green led will solidly turn on for 5 seconds after j
in network.
After join success, it will start to upload messages to TTN and you can see the messages in the panel.

2.3 Uplink Payload

Temperature RED or Temperature White :
This point to the Red probe in D20-LB or the probe of D22-LB/D23-LB White
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）
Temperature White:
This point to the Red probe in D22-LB/D23-LB.
If it is D20-LB, the value is 0x7FFF, which is 327.67.
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）

Temperature Black:
This point to the BLACK probe in D23-LB
If it is D20-LB/D22-LB, the value is 0x7FFF, which is 327.67.
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）
Alarm Flag & MOD & Level of PA8:
Example:
If payload & 0x01 = 0x01 --> This is an Alarm Message.It means that the temperature exceed the alarm value or trigger an interrupt.
If payload & 0x01 = 0x00 --> This is a normal uplink message, no alarm.
If payload & 0x80>>7 = 0x01 --> The PA8 is low level.
If payload & 0x80>>7 =0x00 --> The PA8 is high level.
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

2.4 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:
https://github.com/dragino/dragino-end-node-decoder/tree/main/D20-LB%26D20S-LB%26D22-LB%26D23-LB (https://github.com/dragino/dragino-end-node-
decoder/tree/main/D20-LB%26D20S-LB%26D22-LB%26D23-LB)
2.5 Datalog Feature
Datalog Feature is to ensure IoT Server can get all sampling data from Sensor even if the LoRaWAN network is down. For each sampling, D2x-LB will store the reading fo
future retrieving purposes.
2.5.1 Ways to get datalog via LoRaWAN
Set PNACKMD=1, D2x-LB will wait for ACK for every uplink, when there is no LoRaWAN network,D2x-LB will mark these records with non-ack messages and store the s
data, and it will send all messages (10s interval) after the network recovery.
a) D2x-LB will do an ACK check for data records sending to make sure every data arrive server.
b) D2x-LB will send data in CONFIRMED Mode when PNACKMD=1, but D2x-LB won't re-transmit the packet if it doesn't get ACK, it will just mark it as a NONE-AC
message. In a future uplink if D2x-LB gets a ACK, D2x-LB will consider there is a network connection and resend all NONE-ACK Message.
Below is the typical case for the auto-update datalog feature (Set PNACKMD=1)
