1. Introduction
1.1 What is LHT65 Temperature & Humidity Sensor
The Dragino LHT65 Temperature & Humidity sensor is a Long Range LoRaWAN Sensor. It includes
a built-in SHT20 Temperature & Humidity sensor and has an external sensor connector to
connect to external sensors such as Temperature Sensor, Illumination sensor, Interrupt Sensor,
ADC sensor etc .
The LHT65 allows users to send data and reach extremely long ranges. It provides ultra-long
range spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity whilst minimizing current
consumption. It targets professional wireless sensor network applications such as irrigation
systems, smart metering, smart cities, building automation, and so on.
LHT65 has a built-in 2400mAh non-chargeable battery which can be used for more than 10
years*.
LHT65 is full compatible with LoRaWAN v1.0.3 Class A protocol, it can work with standard
LoRaWAN gateway.
LHT65 has 3200 data records with datetime which can be retrieved with datetime for further
analyze.
*The actually battery life depends how often to send data, please see battery analyzer chapter.

2. Operation Mode
2.1 How to activate LHT65?
The LHT65 has two working modes:
✓Deep Sleep Mode: LHT-65 doesn’t have any LoRaWAN activate. This mode is used for
storage and shipping to save battery life.
✓Working Mode: In this mode, LHT65 will works as LoRaWAN Sensor mode to Join LoRaWAN
network and send out the sensor data to server. Between each sampling/tx/rx periodically,
LHT65 will be in STOP mode (IDLE mode), in STOP mode, device has the same power
consumption as Deep Sleep mode.
The LHT65 is set in deep sleep mode by default; The ACT button on the bottom of device is used
to switch to different modes:
Behavior on ACT
Function
Action
Pressing ACT
between 1s < time
< 3s
Test uplink
status
If LHT65 is already Joined to LoRaWAN network, LHT65
will send an uplink packet, if LHT65 has external sensor
connected, blue led will blink once. If LHT65 has not
external sensor, red led will blink once.
Pressing ACT for
more than 3s
Active Device
green led will fast blink 5 times, device will enter working
mode and start to JOIN LoRaWAN network. green led will
solid turn on for 5 seconds after joined in network.
Fast press ACT 5
times.
Deactivate
Device
red led will solid on for 5 seconds. Means LHT65 are in
Deep Sleep Mode.
2.2 How it works?
The LHT65 is configured as LoRaWAN OTAA Class A mode by default. Each LHT65 is shipped with
a worldwide unique set of OTAA and ABP keys. To use LHT65 in a LoRaWAN network, user needs
to input the OTAA or ABP keys in the network server. So LHT65 can join the LoRaWAN network
and start to transmit sensor data. The default period for each uplink is 20 minutes.
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 LHT65.
2.3 Example to join LoRaWAN network
This section shows an example for how to join the TTN LoRaWAN IoT server. Use with other
LoRaWAN IoT server is of similar procedure.

LHT65 Temperature & Humidity sensor 11 / 56
Assume the LG308 is already set to connect to TTN network . We need to add the LHT65 device in
TTN:
Step 1: Create a device in TTN with the OTAA keys from LHT65.
Each LHT65 is shipped with a sticker with the default device EUI as below:
User can enter these keys in the LoRaWAN Server portal. Below is TTN screen shot:
Add APP EUI in the application.
Add APP KEY and DEV EUI

LHT65 Temperature & Humidity sensor 12 / 56
Step 2: Use ACT button to activate LHT65 and it will auto join to the TTN network. After join
success, it will start to upload sensor data to TTN and user can see in the panel.
2.4 Uplink Payload
The uplink payload includes totally 11 bytes. Uplink packets use FPORT=2 and every 20 minutes
send one uplink by default.
After each uplink, the BLUE LED will blink once.

LHT65 Temperature & Humidity sensor 16 / 56
2.4.8 Ext=4, Interrupt Sensor
In this mode, user can connect external interrupt sensor to the E2 Extension Cable to check
the open/close status from the sensor. For example, it can be used to connect to a door
sensor to check the open / close status, or connect to a mercury switch to detect the titling.
(NOTE: This feature only supported by SN number > LHT65307029)
Above is connection to a mercury switch, rotate the mercury will generate interrupt. LHT65
will detect it and send an uplink package to sever. User can also connect PA9 and PA10
together, with these two pins shortcut, LHT65 will know if the probe is connected well in the
socket.
User can use AT Command to set the method to detect Interrupt:
AT+EXT=4,1
Sent uplink packet in both rising and falling interrupt
AT+EXT=4,2
Sent uplink packet only in falling interrupt
AT+EXT=4,3
Sent uplink packet only in rising interrupt
Or use downlink command A2
Payload explain:

www.dragino.com
LHT65 Temperature & Humidity sensor 17 / 56
Means: The device is set to connect to an Interrupt Sensor, the cable connection is fine. This
packet is for a normal uplink, pin level is high.
Means: The device is set to connect to an Interrupt Sensor, the cable connection is fine. This
packet is for a Interrupt uplink, pin level is low.
Means: The device is set to connect to an Interrupt Sensor, the cable connection is losing.
(Notice: PA9 and PA10 must be connected to detect if cable is losing or fine.).

www.dragino.com
LHT65 Temperature & Humidity sensor 18 / 56
2.4.9 Ext=5, E5 Illumination Sensor
Means: The device is set to connect to an Illumination sensor, the cable connection is fine.
This strength of illumination is 401 lux
Means: The device is set to connect to an Illumination sensor, the cable connection is losing.

www.dragino.com
LHT65 Temperature & Humidity sensor 19 / 56
2.4.10 Ext=6, ADC Sensor
In this mode, user can connect external ADC sensor to check ADC value. The 3V3_OUT can
be used to power the external ADC sensor; user can control the power on time for this
sensor by setting:
AT+EXT=6,timeout Time to power this sensor, from 0 ~ 65535ms
For example:
AT+EXT=6,1000 will power this sensor for 1000ms before sampling the ADC value.
Or use downlink command A2 to set the same.
User can also connect PA9 and PA10 together, with these two pins shortcut, LHT65 will know
if the probe is connected well in the socket.
Means: The device is set to connect to an ADC sensor, the cable connection is fine. This
voltage detected is 2.822v.
Means: The device is set to connect to an ADC Sensor, but the cable connection is losing.
(Notice: PA9 and PA10 must be connected to detect if cable is losing or fine.).

LHT65 Temperature & Humidity sensor 20 / 56
2.4.11 Ext=7, Counting Sensor
In this mode, user can connect external interrupt sensor to the E2 Extension Cable for
counting purpose. Whenever there is an interrupt from this sensor, the ext value will
increase by 1.
(NOTE: This feature only supported by SN number > LHT65307029)
Above is connection to a mercury switch, rotate the mercury will generate interrupt. LHT65
will count it. It will periodically the counting value to server. User can also connect PA9 and
PA10 together, with these two pins shortcut, LHT65 will know if the probe is connected well
in the socket.
User can use AT Command to set the method to detect counting:
AT+EXT=7,0
Count at falling interrupt
AT+EXT=7,1
Count at raising interrupt
AT+SETCNT=60
Sent current count to 60
Or use downlink command A2
