It is possible to configure custom CO2 thresholds levels in Aranet4 app. The procedure is described in adjacent topic.
There are two ways to enter custom values: "Human mode" and "Plant mode". The modes are arbitrary and are just to show the difference of use for humans or greenhouses (plants). You can enter any values you want depending on that, the device indication will be shown in 2 modes:
"Human mode" is used for CO2 level monitoring in order to prevent COVID-19 from spreading and preventing human cognitive impairment. In this case, the custom values should be entered the same way as default values: lower value corresponding to healthy (green) level on the left (1), unhealthy (red) level on the right (2):
"Plant mode" is used for monitoring CO2 levels in greenhouses. Here, the requirements can be opposite - plants may need high CO2 levels in order to grow. In this case, a higher value should be entered on the left (1), but lower on the right (2):
Please note the changed text next to the color explanation.
The buzzer is operating the same way in both cases: if enabled it sounds when CO2 level is "red", e.g. too high in "Human mode" and too low in "Plant mode".

Suggestion for a sentence to include in the explanation text above, possibly after the second sentence: "The change between these modes occurs automatically, depending on which side the higher and lower levels are selected. Higher level on the right side for "Human mode" or higher level on the left side for "Plant mode.""
My Aranet4 came pre-configured with "Plant mode" and this threw me off. I was looking for a way to "tell" the software that I wanted "Human mode", but couldn't find a button or something else to do it. The only place I learned that there is a thing like the "Plant mode" was in this post.
