Atenxa / lpwanlab LTH5200 Temperature + Humidity monitor [RESOLVED]

Has anyone tried to setup an Atenxa LTH5200 Device?

It is shipped with only :

  • DEV EUI
  • APPSKEY

but manual claims to support OTAA and ABP

  • NO APP EUI
  • NO DEVICE ID
  • NO APP SESSION KEY
  • NO NETWORK SESSION KEY

Manual doesn’t offer a clue on how to config the device

[UPDATE]
lpwanlab responded with APP EUI (not shipped with product, on label …)

common APP EUI 52 69 73 69 6E 48 47

Working on OTAA

Decoder to follow, once the manufacturer supplies payload format document

[UPDATE 2]
Once the LTH5200 is connected
To get data payload on port 2 its necessary to send a downlink command to the unit to set the report rate

Modify data uplink
frequency

Must send downlink control message: FF 12 00 0A FF

where: 00 0A represents 10 minutes, range: 1~1500

Payload length : 17 bytes (default)
FF0200015CA6C5B30101180601450164FF

Observed:

  • Humidity variability: About 1% @ 69%
  • Temperature variability: About 0.4C @ 25C

Manual states shipped with Warranty Card & User Manual:

  • not shipped

Thanks for update - please keep us posted here…I was looking at this a few months back and put a couple into shopping basket but then balked when I saw shipping $30 on a $69 item making it a bit pricey…thought I would wait for others to test before committing to try :wink:

@BoRRoZ did I see that you were also buying one of these? Did it arrive/how have you got on with it or am I mistaken…?

Have been testing a TTIG in a local office environment over last couple of days and one or two of these (or similar) might be good to deply/test if it can be set up easily…

Looks like an interesting device, is it working as expected and how quickly do they ship ?

weradis
Haven’t tried setting time of changing alarm limits using downlink commands

Have two devices and

  • within 1% humidity of each other (sideby side)
  • within 0.4C temperature of each other (side by side)

Wall mount or desk mount
2 x AA batteries
Haven’t had it long enough to get true battery life
affordable
I honestly wish they manufactured more things - but that’s all they do w.r.t. sensors

Using supplied AAA Batteries: @ 5min payload interval
unit #1 52 Days
unit #2 79 Days
