SAF Aranet4 Home: Wireless Indoor Air Quality Monitor for Office or School (CO2, Temperature, Humidity and More) Portable, Battery Powered, E-Ink Screen, App for Configuration & Data History

Excellent produit. Les mesures son fiables l'appareil est compact et utilise la technologie NDIR. Il est possible de le recalibrer. L'application pour téléphone mobile est très intuitive elle offre une foule de paramètres et permet une visualisation sous forme de courbes des différentes mesures (CO2, température, hygrométrie, pression atmosphérique) sur une journée, une semaine ou une période au choix. La connexion utilisée dans mon cas est le Bluetooth, elle est extrêmement réactive et économe en batterie. Hormis sont prix élevé il s'agit d'un excellent produit.

It is well worth the money because it is also a data-loger with Bluetooth interface which is not present in lower cost models. It measure CO2, moisture and atmospheric pressure very accurately

Living in a closed space with generally poor ventilation in an apartment, is the reason why I purchase this product. However , after been using it for over 2 weeks now, I have come into conclusion that most of us may not even need it because the CO2 in a closed space in my apartment rarely goes above 800ppm throughout the day. The only situation where it can go above 800ppm is when gas stove is used. However, carbon dioxide monitor or reader can be useful if you live in a rather tight space whereby there are three or more occupants as CO2 is mainly produced by respiration or breathing other than from burning gas. As you can see in the picture here, the screen on the aranet 4 is quite a bit sharper and contrasty than the inkbird and the design is more attractive due to semi transparent plastic case and the underlying board design is partially visible whereas inkbird has a bit of off-white coloration. The measurement is very similar to one another due to similar NDIR sensor used. As mentioned, the main deciding factor whether you need this or not is how many occupants in a space or how crowded the space is. More people occupying same space at same time, the higher the CO2 produced. For the app, I like how you can just drag along the chart to see the reading. However, aranet app only allows 7 days of data to be kept on the device before it gets overwritten where as the inkbird can keep data on the device for up to 30 days. Basically, aranet app is more polished , however, data storage is only limited to 7 days when set to 5 minutes measurement interval instead of 30 days (on device) to 1 year on inkbird (only when is synced to the phone). Addendum : Aranet has released a firmware in Dec 2023 that allows you set how long the data can be stored on the device and this depends the measurement interval, i.e. 2 minutes interval equivalent to 7 days of storage; 5 minutes for 15 days ; and 10 minutes for 30 days of storage . Besides CO2 readings, you will also get ambient temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure readings. However, this device is not equipped with complete suite of air quality sensors, what is missing out here are quite substantial and these include volatile organic gas (VOC) , radon, particulate matters , carbon monoxide which are important parameters to determine the air that you breath is safe. And of course to have all these sensors included in an air quality monitor will costs a fortune for regular consumer. The Bluetooth range on the Aranet 4 is slightly shorter than inkbird from the distance I tested. 7-8 meters on inkbird vs 6 metres on aranet4. aranet 4 has a hidden feature of boosting it's Bluetooth range at presumably small cost of battery life by a toggle under Bluetooth setting of the app to about the same range as inkbird. One important thing when placing the double AA battery in, is quite different from other device, make sure you place the positive side first then only negative due to there is a plastic lip at the positive side. Battery is super long lasting due to energy efficient E ink display and low energy Bluetooth and especially interval measurement is set to 5 or 10 minutes. Downside to this is that you can only get Bluetooth connection to sync the data to phone rather than wifi and can't assess the data if not in the Bluetooth range or if away from home. Aranet claims there is a smart home integration app called homey but I guess it can be complicated to setup due to the integration is not mainstream like homekit or google home.

I sleep with my wife in a small room and I've always been curious as to the amount of CO2 that accumulates if we have the door closed. We soon discovered that closing the bedroom door with only one person sleeping sent the CO2 levels quite high. Needless to say because of our new monitor we now sleep with the door open. The bluetooth app is neat and keeps a running log/graph of your CO2 levels. The batteries are supposed to last for a very long time. .. Not much to complain about functionality wise. The low/med/high level indicators along with the precise reading display are nice and easy to read. Very pricey and only splurged on it because it was recommended by a family member. Glad I purchased it but I still smart when I think how much I had to pay for it. I would recommend to anyone who is concerned about the air quality within the home.

Ausgereiftes Gerät. Die Batterie hält sehr lange und das Gerät ist mit Bluetooth an das Smarthome z.B. Homeassistant problemlos anbindbar.
