Strips Comfort for LoRaWAN: quick start

From the opened box to a working sensor on one page. The full manual has the details, the settings and the troubleshooting.

Revision A · October 2026 · Sensative AB

Full manual Product page Product sheet (PDF)

Strips Comfort measures temperature, relative humidity and ambient light (lux) where it is mounted, and reports them over LoRaWAN.

In the box

  • Strips Comfort, with the adhesive already on the back
  • One or two magnets on the sensor. They keep it in transport mode. Keep one for magnet commands.
  • The LoRaWAN keys (DevEUI, JoinEUI and AppKey), on a label in the box and by e-mail

You need

  • A LoRaWAN gateway within range, powered on and online
  • An account on a LoRaWAN network server, with the gateway added
  • The region on the sensor's label. Gateway and network server must use the same region, and in US915 and AU915 the same sub-band.
  • The Strips payload decoder in your network server or application
  • The Strips LoRa Config Tool, to turn on the readings

From box to ready

1

Register the sensor in the network server

Add a new end device: OTAA, LoRaWAN 1.0.4, regional parameters RP002-1.0.1 and the frequency plan for your region. Enter the DevEUI, JoinEUI (AppEUI) and AppKey exactly, and add the Strips payload decoder.

Done when: the device is listed, waiting for its first join.
2

Join and check the signal

Take every magnet off the sensor. It sends a join request: a short green blink, then one long green blink when joined. Five short red blinks means the join failed: check the keys, region, sub-band and gateway. Then hold Strips where it will sit and send an uplink: magnet to the rounded end three times, 20 cm away and 2 seconds apart.

Done when: the network server shows the device as joined, and the link carries at least SF9 (SNR above −5 dB, RSSI above −115 dBm).
3

Choose a profile

From the factory, Strips Comfort sends only a daily heartbeat. In the Strips LoRa Config Tool, choose Strips Multi-sensor +Comfort and a profile, for example "Temperature, Humidity, and Light". Send the payload as a downlink on port 11, then send an uplink with the magnet so that Strips picks it up.

Done when: Strips answers with status code 0300 (OK).
4

Choose the place and mount

For room climate: an inside wall, away from direct sun, radiators, other heat sources and draughts. For light: where the light falls as in the rest of the room, not behind curtains or inside cupboards. Indoors only (IP63). Clean the surface (clean, dry, at least +10 °C), peel the film off the adhesive and press Strips firmly in place.

Do not mount Strips on metal. The adhesive is permanent, so check the position first.
5

Test

Check that the first values are plausible for the room. Breathe on the sensor or cover it with your hand to see humidity and light change.

Done when: temperature, humidity and light arrive in your application.
