4. Functionality
The NV-R718F2 operates as a dual-purpose LoRaWAN® sensor, combining temperature monitoring and open/close detection in one device. Each of the two reed switch channels can be connected to external magnetic contacts or mechanical switches to detect the open or closed state of doors, windows, cabinets, or machinery covers. Simultaneously, the device measures ambient temperature through its built-in temperature sensors.
Data collected from both the reed switches and temperature sensors are transmitted wirelessly to a LoRaWAN® gateway at user-defined intervals or when a state change occurs. The gateway forwards the data to a network server or cloud platform for visualization, analysis, and alerting. The device supports bidirectional communication, allowing remote configuration of parameters such as reporting interval, threshold limits, and operational modes.
Typical Use Cases:
- Building automation: door/window open detection and room temperature monitoring.
- Industrial equipment monitoring: enclosure door status and ambient temperature tracking.
- Cold chain logistics: temperature and access monitoring in refrigerated storage.
- Smart agriculture: environmental temperature and gate/door monitoring.
- Security systems: intrusion detection combined with environmental sensing.
Compatibility:
Fully compatible with standard LoRaWAN® gateways and network servers (e.g., The Things Network, ChirpStack, Loriot, Actility). Data can be integrated into IoT platforms via MQTT, HTTP, or API interfaces.
