  I just integrated Aranet 4 successfully (finally) in Home Assistant running on a Raspberry 4. 

  Some notes:

  Raspberry 4 bluetooth range is poor. Build in an Aluminum case it was about 0,5 m, without case about 4 m. 

  So for the setup, bring the Aranet 4 very close to the HA-device.

  If you use different hardware than Raspi 4, BT-range might be better, but if you use the Aranet 4 far from the HA-device, you may need a bluetooth proxy.

  There are several ways to do this, I testetd these two successfully:
  1. Set up a bluetooth proxy using an ESP32. It's quiet easy.  There are tutorials on Youtube.

  2. If you got one of the 2nd Gen Shelly devices (with a "Plus" in the name), they can easily be made a proxy by activating the Bluetooth Scan Mode in the Shelly integration configuration. Or just buy a "Shelly Plus Plug S", plug it in and your proxy ist ready to go.

  Hope this will help.  :-)
