Getting started
- 01
Confirm the exact model
Match the hardware label and bundle to the linked documentation. Aranet4, Bluetooth host, Aranet app and Smart Home integration enabled.

Prove the documented connection
Follow the original guide and run its smallest supported example before asking an agent to extend it. The documented integration requires firmware 1.2.0 or later. CO2 readings can inform ventilation reminders, not certify health or safety.
