1. Introduction
1.1 What is LHT52 Temperature & Humidity Sensor
The Dragino LHT52 Temperature & Humidity sensor is a Long Range LoRaWAN Sensor. It includes
a built-in Temperature & Humidity sensor and has a USB Type-C sensor connector to connect to
external sensors such as external Temperature Sensor.
LHT52 senses environment temperature and humidity and send these values via long-range
wireless LoRaWAN protocol. It targets professional wireless sensor network applications such as
food service, smart metering, smart cities, building automation, and so on.
LHT52 supports 2 x AAA batteries and works for a long time up to several years. Use can replace
the batteries easily after they are finished.
LHT52 is fully compatible with LoRaWAN v1.0.3 protocol, it can work with standard LoRaWAN
gateway.
LHT52 supports Datalog feature to make sure users won’t miss sensor data. It records sensor
value for every uplink. These values can be retrieved by LoRaWAN server via downlink command.
LHT52 supports temperature alarm feature. It can uplink alarm in a short interval while
temperature exceeds preset limits.
*Battery life depends how often to send data, please see battery analyzer.

2.2 How it works?
Each LHT52 is shipped with a worldwide unique set of LoRaWAN OTAA keys. To use LHT52 in a
LoRaWAN network, user needs to input the OTAA keys in LoRaWAN network server. After this, if
LHT52 is under this LoRaWAN network coverage, LHT52 can join the LoRaWAN network and start
to transmit sensor data. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.
2.3 Example to use for LoRaWAN network
This section shows an example for how to join the TheThingsNetwork LoRaWAN IoT server.
Usages with other LoRaWAN IoT servers are of similar procedure.
Assume the DLOS8 is already set to connect to TTN V3 network . We need to add the LHT52
device in TTN V3 portal.
Step 1: Create a device in TTN V3 with the OTAA keys from LHT52.
Each LHT52 is shipped with a sticker with the default DEV EUI as below:
Enter these keys in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN V3 screen shot:
Add APP EUI in the application.
choose to create the device manually.

Step 2: Use ACT button to activate LHT52 and it will auto join to the TTN V3 network. After join
success, it will start to upload sensor data to TTN V3 and user can see in the panel.

2.4 Uplink Payload
Uplink payloads include two types: Valid Sensor Value and other status / control command.
➢Valid Sensor Value: Use FPORT=2
➢Other control command: Use FPORT other than 2.
2.4.1 Uplink FPORT=5, Device Status
Uplink the device configures with FPORT=5. Once LHT52 Joined the network, it will uplink
this message to the server. After first uplink, LHT52 will uplink Device Status every 12 hours.
Example Payload (FPort=5):
09 01 00 01 00 0B 3A
Sensor Model: For LHT52, this value is 0x09.
Firmware Version: 0x0100, Means: v1.0.0 version.
Frequency Band:
*0x01: EU868
*0x02: US915
*0x03: IN865
*0x04: AU915
*0x05: KZ865
*0x06: RU864
*0x07: AS923
*0x08: AS923-1
*0x09: AS923-2

BAT: shows the battery voltage for LHT52.
Ex1: 0x0B3A = 2874mV
Use can also get the Device Status uplink through the downlink command:
Downlink:0x2301
2.4.2 Uplink FPORT=2, Real time sensor value
LHT52 will send this uplink after Device Status uplink once join LoRaWAN network successfully.
And it will periodically send this uplink. Default interval is 20 minutes and can be changed.
Uplink uses FPORT=2 and every 20 minutes send one uplink by default.

2.4.3 Uplink FPORT=3, Datalog sensor value
LHT52 stores sensor value and user can retrieve these history value via downlink command. The
Datalog sensor value are sent via FPORT=3.
➢Each data entry is 11 bytes, to save airtime and battery, LHT52 will send max bytes according
to the current DR and Frequency bands.
For example, in US915 band, the max payload for different DR is:
a) DR0: max is 11 bytes so one entry of data
b) DR1: max is 53 bytes so devices will upload 4 entries of data (total 44 bytes)
c) DR2: total payload includes 11 entries of data
d) DR3: total payload includes 22 entries of data.
Notice: LHT52 will save 178 set of history data, If device doesn’t have any data in the polling time.
Device will uplink 11 bytes of 0.
See more info about the Datalog feature.
2.4.4 Uplink FPORT=4, DS18B20 ID
User can get external DS18B20 ID through the downlink command.

The External DS18B20 ID is 0x28 86 63 B2 00 00 00 9F
2.4.5 Decoder in TTN V3
In LoRaWAN protocol, the uplink payload is HEX format, user need to add a payload
formatter/decoder in LoRaWAN Server to get human friendly string.
In TTN , add formatter as below:
Please check the decoder from this link:

2.5 Show data on Datacake
Datacake IoT platform provides a human friendly interface to show the sensor data in charts,
once we have sensor 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 LoRaWAN
network.
Step 2: Configure your Application to forward data to Datacake you will need to add integration.
Go to TTN V3 Console --> Applications --> Integrations --> Add Integrations.
1.Add Datacake:
2.Select default key as Access Key:
3.In Datacake console (https://datacake.co/) , add LHT52:
