The Milesight WS202 is a PIR (Passive Infrared) and light sensor featuring LoRaWAN® technology, designed for detecting motion or occupancy. It combines a PIR sensor with a built-in light sensor to enable trigger scenes, making it suitable for various applications such as smart homes, smart offices, schools, and warehouses.
Function Description:
The WS202 utilizes passive infrared technology to detect movement within a range of 6-8 meters. The integrated light sensor allows for linking PIR detection results to trigger specific scenes, enhancing automation capabilities. Sensor data, including PIR status, light status, and battery level, are transmitted in real-time using the standard LoRaWAN® protocol, which ensures encrypted radio transmissions over long distances with very low power consumption. Users can receive alarms and monitor data through the Milesight IoT Cloud or their own Application Server. The device can also function as a Milesight D2D (Device-to-Device) controller, sending control commands to trigger other Milesight D2D agent devices without a gateway.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Detection Range: 6-8 meters for PIR motion detection.
- Communication Range: Up to 15 km, leveraging LoRaWAN® protocol.
- LoRaWAN® Support: Standard LoRaWAN® protocol, compatible with LoRaWAN® versions V1.0.2 and V1.0.3.
- Work Mode: Fixed as Class A.
- Application Port: Default port for sending and receiving data is 85.
- Join Type: Supports OTAA (Over-The-Air Activation) and ABP (Activation By Personalization) modes. OTAA is recommended for Milesight IoT Cloud and supports rejoin mode.
- Battery: The device is battery-powered. Battery level is reported, and a low power alarm is sent when the level drops below 10%.
- Dimensions: 50 mm (width) x 50 mm (depth) x 23.8 mm (height).
- Operating Range: Specific temperature ranges are not explicitly stated, but precautions advise against placing the device where the temperature is below/above the operating range.
- Certifications: Conforms with CE, FCC, and RoHS standards.
Usage Features:
- Easy Configuration via NFC: The WS202 can be easily configured using an NFC-enabled smartphone and the "Milesight ToolBox" App. This allows users to read device information, configure settings (such as join type, App EUI, App Key, reporting interval, idle time, LED indicator, illuminance collection, and password), and manage firmware.
- LED Indicator: Provides visual feedback on device status, including PIR detection (red blink for unregistered, green blink for registered), network status (red blink for join requests, green blink twice for successful join), reboot (slowly blinks), and reset to factory default (quickly blinks).
- General Settings: Customizable reporting interval (default 30 mins, range 1-1080 mins) for PIR, light status, and battery level. An "Occupied" status is reported immediately upon motion detection. An "Idle Time" setting (default 120s) determines when a "Vacant" status is reported after no motion.
- Illuminance Collection: Can be enabled or disabled. When disabled, the reporting interval automatically changes to 1080 mins.
- Threshold Settings: When illuminance collection is enabled, users can define "Bright" or "Dark" states based on light sensor data. If the PIR sensor is triggered and the light status meets the defined threshold, the WS202 will send immediate alarms.
- Milesight D2D Settings: Enables the WS202 to act as a D2D controller, sending 2-byte hexadecimal control commands to other Milesight D2D agent devices based on its occupied/bright, occupied/dark, or vacant status. This feature allows for local automation without a gateway. LoRa Uplink can be enabled to send PIR and light status to a gateway after D2D commands are sent.
- Installation Flexibility: Can be mounted on a wall or ceiling, with a recommended installation height of 1.5-2.5 meters from the floor. Supports both 3M tape and screw fixation methods.
- Detection Angle Control: Blocking stickers are provided to adjust the detection angle, useful for specific applications like workstations. Each sticker covers approximately a 180° range. Pasting stickers along the bottom of the PIR lens can change the detection area to 70° Horizontal, 60° Vertical.
Maintenance Features:
- Firmware Upgrade: Firmware can be downloaded from the Milesight website and imported via the "Milesight ToolBox" App (Android version only) for device upgrades.
- Configuration Backup: The WS202 supports configuration backup, allowing users to save current settings as a template on the smartphone via the "ToolBox" App. These templates can then be used to quickly configure other devices of the same model and LoRaWAN® frequency band.
- Reset to Factory Default: The device can be reset to factory default settings either by holding the reset button for more than 10 seconds (hardware reset) or by using the "ToolBox" App (software reset via NFC).
- Battery Management: Users are advised to install batteries accurately and remove them if the device will not be used for a long time to prevent leakage and damage.
Safety Precautions:
Users are cautioned against modifying the device, exposing the PIR lens to direct sunlight, painting or cleaning the PIR lens (as it affects detection), placing the device outside its operating temperature range, or near naked flames, heat/cold sources, liquids, or extreme temperature changes. The device is not intended as a reference sensor, and Milesight disclaims responsibility for damages due to inaccurate readings. The device should also not be subjected to shocks or impacts.
