4. Functionality
The NV-R718F operates as a multi-sensor node within a LoRaWAN® network. It periodically measures ambient temperature and humidity using its integrated digital sensor and transmits the data to a LoRaWAN® gateway. Simultaneously, it monitors the state of a magnetic reed switch, detecting whether a door, window, or enclosure is open or closed.

How It Works:
1. The device wakes at predefined intervals or upon a state change (e.g., door opened).
2. It samples temperature and humidity data from the onboard sensor.
3. It reads the reed switch input to determine open/close status.
4. The collected data is formatted into a LoRaWAN® uplink message and transmitted to the gateway.
5. The gateway forwards the data to a network server or cloud platform for processing, visualization, or triggering automation rules.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Smart Buildings: Monitor room temperature, humidity, and door/window status for HVAC optimization and security.
- Warehouses and Storage Facilities: Ensure environmental conditions remain within specified limits while tracking access points.
- Cold Chain Monitoring: Verify temperature and humidity compliance in refrigerated storage while detecting unauthorized access.
- Agricultural Facilities: Monitor greenhouse climate and entry points.
- Data Centers: Track environmental conditions and cabinet door status.
- Industrial Enclosures: Detect enclosure openings and monitor internal climate.

Compatibility:
- Compatible with any LoRaWAN® 1.0.2-compliant gateway and network server.
- Integrates with IoT platforms such as The Things Network (TTN), ChirpStack, Actility, Loriot, and private LoRaWAN® infrastructures.
