Product Description

WS201-868M Smart Fill Level Monitoring Sensor is a compact, battery-powered LoRaWAN device for monitoring the remaining contents of small containers, particularly tissue boxes and toilet-paper dispensers.

Non-contact Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensing measures contents over a 1–55 cm range with ±1 cm accuracy , helping facility teams monitor consumption and schedule refills.

The WS201 reports the remaining fill level as a percentage and can generate alerts when preset low-level thresholds are reached.

With an ultra-compact 66 × 38 × 12 mm design, an internal antenna and damp-proof internal coating, it is suitable for a wide range of indoor restroom and dispenser-monitoring applications, including installations in metal dispenser environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the WS201-868M Smart Fill Level Monitoring Sensor used for?
The Milesight WS201-868M is a compact LoRaWAN® Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensor designed to monitor the fill level of small containers, especially tissue boxes and toilet-paper dispensers. It measures remaining contents without contact over a 1–55 cm sensing range and can help facility teams plan refills.
What are the main features of the WS201-868M?
Features include 1–55 cm non-contact ToF sensing with ±1 cm measurement accuracy, remaining-level percentage reporting, programmable threshold alarms, 868 MHz EU868 LoRaWAN® connectivity, NFC configuration, remote downlink settings, low-power standby / hibernate mode and an indoor IP30 housing.
What battery does the WS201-868M use and how long can it last?
WS201 uses one 590 mAh CR2450 lithium coin-cell battery. Milesight estimates about 3.6 years at SF7 EU868 and 2.3 years at SF10 EU868 in a specified laboratory scenario (60-minute reporting, low-paper event twice daily, 13 work hours per day, 25°C). Real-world battery life depends on network settings and use. This is a replaceable battery, not a USB-charged product.
What wireless protocol and frequency does WS201-868M support?
WS201-868M is specified for the EU868 868 MHz LoRaWAN® frequency plan, with OTAA/ABP Class A and an internal antenna. NFC is available for local configuration; LoRaWAN downlinks allow supported remote configuration. EU868 should not be assumed compatible with India's IN865 plan; verify regional radio requirements and gateway support before deploying.
What is included with the WS201-868M sensor?
The listing is for 1 × Milesight WS201-868M Smart Fill Level Monitoring Sensor. The device operates with a 590 mAh CR2450 lithium battery and uses 3M adhesive tape for flat-surface mounting. Confirm whether the battery, adhesive tape and other accessories are included with the supplier's final packing list before shipment.

Other Information

Non-contact Fill-level Monitoring

The focused Time-of-Flight detector measures the contents of small containers from 1 to 55 cm without contact. The system can report the remaining amount as a percentage and use configured low-level alerts to support service planning.

Sensor Placement and Installation

Mount on a suitable clean flat surface using 3M adhesive tape. Keep the detection path aligned with the monitored container contents and within the specified sensing range. Confirm the supplied mounting accessories in the seller packing list.

Indoor Environment and Protection

The flame-retardant ABS + PC housing includes an internal damp-proof coating for normal bathroom environments; the enclosure is rated IP30 and is not water-resistant to spraying or immersion. Operating temperature is −10°C to +60°C.

Configuration and Remote Management

Local configuration is supported through the Milesight NFC mobile app. Remote setting changes require LoRaWAN downlink through compatible gateway / network infrastructure. LoRaWAN communication uses OTAA/ABP Class A.

Frequency Region / India Deployment

This listing specifies the WS201-868M 868 MHz / EU868 variant. WS201 family datasheets also list an IN865 variant, but an EU868 unit must not be represented as compatible with IN865 without confirmation. Check the exact factory radio variant, network configuration and radio compliance before Indian deployment.

Battery Power and Endurance

One 590 mAh CR2450 lithium battery powers the sensor. The manufacturer estimates around 3.6 years at SF7 EU868 and 2.3 years at SF10 EU868 in its specified 60-minute reporting scenario at 25°C. Actual battery life depends on settings, battery brand and conditions.

Device Package and Accessories

Listing covers one WS201-868M smart fill-level sensor. The CR2450 power source and 3M tape mounting method are specified in the datasheet; the exact included battery and adhesive accessory contents should be verified against the supplier packing list.
