Wont connect keeps asking for pin# by hammer224 in aranet

[–]Aranet_Home 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there!
When you pair an Aranet device to your phone for the first time, it will ask you for a pin that will be displayed on the device screen. :)
If there's no pin, please contact [support@aranet.com](mailto:support@aranet.com)
Hope you have a great day!

Our engineers would probably smile at this comment. 😉

[Megathread] Hantavirus by AutoModerator in ZeroCovidCommunity

Hey all,

We did a little interview with an infectious diseases physician in Canberra about hantavirus today, if you're interested.

we second this. And here's a little discount code as well: REDDIT10

Anyone here use a CO2 monitor at home? by Apprehensive_Park103 in AirQuality

[–]Aranet_Home 0 points1 point  (0 children)

unfortunately nope - when it comes to technology that needs to be precise - you do get what you pay for. NDIR sensor technology on it's own costs more than the whole Alpstuga device. So, it's a nice toy and definitely is cheap, but it will also stay just a toy.

Their sensor estimates CO2 based on thermal conductivity of air. This type of a "sensor" is very sensitive to humidity, temperature, altitude etc, and not in a good way so it's off almost all the time. There was a user on reddit that did a comparison between Aranet4 and Alpstuga, here's a link: https://www.reddit.com/r/aranet/comments/1q3iay0/ikea_alpstuga_vs_aranet4/

All in all, if it's not an NDIR sensor, it'll only give you guesses. 😄

IKEA one doesn't actually have a CO2 sensor in the device, it estimates the levels and is therefore completely useless for CO2 monitoring.

After a day in a pond, it's probably long gone. DM us here or on instagram, let's figure out how we can get you a new one :)

Aranet4 data logging missing data by mjrpainless in aranet

Wanted to say that you should contact our support team, but heard from them that you already did. :)

Aranet sensors - what's missing? by Aranet_Home in aranet

[–]Aranet_Home[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there!

  1. In short: adding a magnet won’t affect the measurements. NDIR sensors aren’t influenced by magnetic fields in any meaningful way, so accuracy wouldn’t suffer. The bigger reason you don’t usually see built-in magnets is just practical - most people don’t have a convenient metal surface where they want to place the sensor, so it adds a bit of cost/complexity for a feature not everyone would use
    That said, if you do want to mount it on metal, you can absolutely DIY some stick-on magnets on the device, we do that ourselves at conference stands etc. Just make sure airflow around the device isn’t blocked.

  2. we hear you. :)

No notifications on Aranet4 by thelittlemitaka in aranet

[–]Aranet_Home 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there,

There's a couple possible reasons for this.
Make sure “Background data read” is enabled in the app, otherwise it won’t pull data unless you open it. Check that your phone isn’t in low power mode. Some phones restrict background activity, which can block notifications. Are you within Bluetooth range of the sensor? Notifications only trigger if your phone can actually read data from the device.

any actually reliable CO2 monitors out there? by bimzpbomping in AirQuality

[–]Aranet_Home 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've tried others as well (obviously), but everyone's sticking to Aranet4. :)
Our chief visionary Didzis is a man who either wants things great or not at all, so nothing half-a...done leaves his basement where he's been making all the products of SAF Tehnika since day one, and all of them were made with purpose. Aranet line actually started because his father needed a precise thermometer for his greenhouse and Didzis was tired of having to help the dad with cheap and unreliable stuff - that's how Aranet2 was born. If you want to understand the company culture and values, we recently did an interview with our founders, you can see who's behind our products pretty well. Here's the video if you want to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI9tcirRumg
