4. Functionality
The NV-R311CA operates as a wireless open/close detection sensor using Hall effect technology. Each of its two channels detects the presence or absence of a magnetic field generated by a paired magnet. When the magnet moves within or out of the sensor’s detection range—such as when a door opens or closes—the sensor registers a state change and transmits an event message via LoRaWAN to the network server.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Building Automation: Monitoring door and window status for security or HVAC optimization.
- Industrial Equipment Monitoring: Detecting access panel openings, machine covers, or safety gate positions.
- Smart City Infrastructure: Monitoring public facility access points, utility cabinets, or remote enclosures.
- Warehouse and Logistics: Tracking loading dock doors, storage compartments, or container lids.
- Agricultural and Environmental Systems: Monitoring greenhouse vents, irrigation control boxes, or remote enclosures.

- Compatible with standard LoRaWAN network servers (e.g., The Things Network, ChirpStack, Loriot, Actility).
- Integrates with IoT platforms via MQTT, HTTP, or API endpoints through the LoRaWAN network server.
