Is there any smart application to read Aranet4 directly on PC?

I tried to use the Android emulater to view my Aranet4 data on my Windows PC, but I couldn't get a Bluetooth connection on this emulater.

Hi,

Currently, there is no Aranet4 app for Windows. You can search Github for some clients for Linux, f.e. https://github.com/Anrijs/Aranet4-Python.

Just to add that Aranet4 library now switched to Bleak which works across platform.. so works fine on Windows :)

There is a a progressive web app (PWA) for interacting with Bluetooth LE (low-energy) sensors using a web browser.

Incidentally the programming example uses the Aranet4 BLE device. You have to use a browser the supports PWA i.e. Chrome.

A remark from my son, he is a webdeveloper for SEO: The used toolset is unneccessarily complicated and probably not all tools are needed.

Thank you very much for your kind information.
But unfortunately, somehow on my system, Windows 10, Chrome, YOGA7/Lenovo, I failed to read Aranet4 even with this PWA, though I have a Bluetooth connection.

@fjm56 - You probably have not searched the web, I guess.

There is a sort of workaround which you can find, for example, on stackoverflow.
Last contribution on that page.

It is possible somehow use WiFi connection that is available in Aranet4 Pro?

Thank you.

There is no Wi-Fi connectivity in Aranet4 Pro. The sensor communicates with the Aranet Pro base using higher frequency range: 868...923 MHz depending on the region.

Thanks for the responce.

Are you using own developed protocol? Or something like Z Wave, Zigbee, etc.

Aranet uses its own developed protocols.

Unfortunately, since the firmware update to v1.2.0, my Aranet4 is not found anymore by the Windows PWA-app "Sensor Pilot",
although the device can be coupled using the common procedure with the PIN.
The author mentioned the relevant changes as an issue, but it doesn't seem that the Bluetooth-UUID filters in the app have been adjusted accordingly.

Would be nice if someone can confirm this and probably give indications/directions how to fix this.

The PWA-app "Sensor Pilot" is not developed/supported by the Aranet team. Either way, we have asked the developer if it is in their plan to make the needed changes to allow connectivity again.

Home Assistant has an integration for Aranet4.

It communicates with the device via Bluetooth and can read all values from from the Aranet4 and use it for any display (e.g. on PC) or automation.

Bluetooth range can be extended using a ESP32 running a Bluetooth proxy or using 2nd Generation Shelly devices with Bluetooth.
