The Dragino LDS03A Outdoor LoRaWAN Door Sensor detects door open/close status and uplinks to IoT server via LoRaWAN network. Users can see the door status, opening duration, Door pen counts in the IoT Server.
An 8500mAh Li-SOCI2 battery powers the LDS03A door sensor. The batter can last up to 10 years.
The LDS03A will periodically send data every 2 hours and for each door open/close action. It also counts the door open times and calculates the last door open duration. Users can also disable the uplink for each open/close event; instead, LDS03A can count each open event and uplink periodically.
LDS03A Outdoor LoRaWAN Door Sensor has a Datalog feature, it will record the open/close event, and the user can retrieve the history from LoRaWAN.

I use this sensor to monitor walk-in gates, drive-in gates and other tough outdoor applications. This sensor can handle VERY FAST open-close cycles and if it does miss one it corrects fairly quickly. The nipple on the outdoor transceiver is not the right size so I could only provide a 4-star as that could be a problem. I love the Dragino outdoor case. These were easy to deploy. To get them to rejoin or power them up you have to take off the case. But that is the price of waterproof. I like this device. My tech stack is DSL08 -> TTS on Linode -> Ubidots.

Recently used this to solve a customer’s remote sensing challenge. Their mailbox is far from their office; beyond the range of WiFi. Installed this sensor to detect when the mail arrives to alert them of when the box door opens and closes. Using it along with ChirpStack and Machinechat JEDI Pro software to provide a complete LoRaWAN solution.
The sensor has been installed for about 3 months and the battery levels have stayed continously high. Looks like low-power mode is well implemented. The housing is sealed which is ideal for the installation.
