Industrial LoRa remote switches offer 3.5km range, real-time feedback

The CDEBYTE EWD22S series is a set of LoRa-based remote control switches designed for long-range industrial applications. The three key products of the series include the EWD22S-A01TR and EWD22S-D02XR relay modules, and the EWD22S-YK02A handheld remote.

The EWD22S-A01TR module handles up to 30A/5kW loads, while the EWD22S-D02XR handles up to 10A/1kW. The EWD22S-YK02A handheld remote can be paired with the relay modules to control them remotely. The remote includes a 9V battery, a high-gain antenna, and multi-color LED indicators for signal confirmation, fault detection, and low battery alerts. The solution relies on LoRa in the 410–493MHz frequency band and offers a range of up to 3.5km in open environments. Protection features include zero-crossing detection, power isolation, and flame-retardant housing. The PCB features a tri-proof coating for protection against humidity, mold, and salt spray. Both relay modules support DIN rail and a screw mounting option for easy installation.

    • Antenna
      • EWD22S-A01TR – External antenna for longer range
      • EWD22S-D02XR – Internal antenna
      • EWD22S-YK02A remote – Rod antenna
  • Relay modules
    • EWD22S-A01TR – AC 85–265V input with 30A/5kW load
    • EWD22S-D02XR – AC 85–265V input, 10A/1kW load

  • Misc
    • Relay modules
      • Screw terminals for connecting the inputs and outputs
      • LED indicator for the on, off, and pair modes
      • A single push button for power, pair, and reset
      • Three-proof paint (anti-humidity, anti-mold, anti-salt spray)
    • Handheld remote
      • Slider on/off switch on the remote
      • LED indicator –  LED feedback (green: success, red: fail, blinking red: low battery)
  • Dimensions
    • EWD22S-A01TR (5kW module) – 110 x 56 x 41 mm
    • EWD22S-D02XR (1KW module) – 84 x 46 x 26 mm
    • EWD22S-YK02A remote – 136 x 42.5 x 25 mm
  • Mounting – Supports DIN rail or screw mounting

The remote can be paired with multiple relay modules, meaning a single button press can control several devices at once. However, the company does not clarify how real-time feedback is handled when multiple modules are triggered simultaneously, and one can only assume the relays send a message back to confirm the status change. Pairing is done by holding the button on the relay for 3 seconds, while a 10-second press resets the pairing. Other than that, I was unable to find much information about the device.

We have seen various types of relay boards in the past, such as the XIAO 6-Channel Wi-Fi 5V DC Relay and the Maker Go ESP32-C6-EVB relying on WiFi/BLE/Zigbee, but it’s the first time we’ve come across a LoRa AC switch for industrial applications. It’s just a shame that 868 MHz/915 MHz versions are not available.

The CDEBYTE EWD22S series industrial LoRa remote switches are available on AliExpress. The remote is priced at around $6.99, while kits with a relay module and a remote go for $17.68 (D02XR) and $19.68 (A01TR) on the same page. Additional details for the EWD22S-A01TR (5kW module), EWD22S-D02XR (1kW module), and EWD22S-YK02A remote can be found on their respective product pages (in Chinese only for now).
