2. Dashboard detail
2.1 Dashboard interface example
The dashboard provides an intuitive interface for real-time monitoring and control. Eachdevice has an icon below to mark what they are, it depends on which “Device Profile”you choose at creating.
Door has three modes: Open timeout, opened, and closed. They will display in red, orange, and green respectively.
Water leakage has two mods: Leaking and not leakage. They will display in red and green respectively.
Battery: The power is calculated based on the voltage, with both specific values and icons, which is more intuitive.
2.2 Detailed features
Here is the button of device’s alarm detail. Comment of each device can be addhere.
Here are the device options, which will be described in detail in Chapter 4.
3.How to Build a Water Leakage &Doors Status Monitoring Solution
3.1 Network structure
Water Leakage & Doors Status Monitoring Structure
The network structure consists of end nodes and gateways, which work together to monitor doors and water pipes conditions in real time.
3.2 Get Account
To begin, contact your local representative to obtain a customer account on ThingsEye.io.
3.3 Get Devices
Reach out to your local representative to acquire the necessary devices for your Water Leakage & Doors Status Monitoring Solution.
These devices include:
- End Nodes: For door status and water leakage monitoring.
- Gateway: For data transmission.
Ensure that all devices are pre-registered on ThingsEye.io before use.
3.4 Add new device
3.4.1 Add new device
3.4.2 Input device information
For example, assuming you currently have a door sensor and a water leakage sensor, you can set it up as follows.
Care should be taken when adding devices:
- Device IMEI: Must be the Device EUI of the device.
- Sensor Name: Optional, and can be used as a differentiator. We recommend that named it with floor it installed and a certain sequence number. Only the Sensor Name will be displayed on the dashboard.
- Let LDS02 choose “Doors status alarm”,LWL02 choose “Water leakage alarm”.
3.5 Connect the Gateway
- Connect the gateway to your router using an Ethernet cable.
- Power on the gateway and allow it to obtain an IP address from the router. Ensure the gateway has a stable internet connection
3.6 Connected Devices
Once the gateway is connected, scan the code to register the device to the server. After registration, all registered end nodes will automatically connect to the network. You can verify their status on the platform. Back to Dashboards to confirm that devices are online and transmitting data correctly.
3.7 Placement of Sensors
3.7.1 LDS02 - LoRa WAN Door Sensor User Manual
- Device Inspection: Unbox the package and ensure it contains the LDS02 main unit, magnet, and mounting accessories.
- Battery Installation: Open the device cover, insert two AAA batteries correctly, and check the polarity.
- Device Pairing: Press the button on the device to enter pairing mode and connect it to the Lora WAN gateway.
- Choosing Installation Position: Mount the main unit on the door frame and the magnet on the door. Ensure they align when the door is closed, with a gap of no more than 1 cm.
- Securing the Device: Use screws or double-sided tape to fix both the main unit and the magnet in place.
- Function Testing: Open and close the door several times to verify if the device detects and transmits status correctly.
For detailed installation steps and precautions, please refer to Dragino's official LDS02 User Manual.[2]
3.7.2 LWL02 – LoRa WAN Water Leak Sensor User Manual
- Insert Batteries: Open the device casing and insert two AAA batteries to power the device.
- Select Installation Location: Place the sensor in areas prone to water leakage, such as under pipes or near washing machines. Ensure a good LoRa WAN signal.
- Fix the Sensor (Two methods):
- Screw Mounting: Remove the device’s bottom cover, use screws to secure it through the mounting holes, then reattach the main body until it clicks intoplace. [3]
- Adhesive Mounting: Use the provided adhesive tape, attaching one side tothedevice’s bottom and the other to the selected surface. [3]Screw Mounting: Remove the device’s bottom cover, use screws to secure it through the mounting holes, then reattach the main body until it clicks into place. [3]
- Connect to Network: The device comes with a unique LoRa WAN registration key and will automatically connect after powering on.
- Test the Device: Pour a small amount of water in the detection area to check if the sensor detects leakage and transmits data.
For detailed installation steps and precautions, please refer to Dragino's official LDS02 User Manual. {4]
4. Options
4.1 Set door opened timeout alarm
Click the bell icon to set how long the door should remain open before displaying"timeout". Given below is a example of 60s delay to alarm.
Before sixty seconds, the device will display an orange icon as a warning.
A red alert will then be added after 60s.
Notes: Voltage thresholds below 2.7V typically indicate low battery on the device.
