Bluetooth and pairing issues

Why is Bluetooth pairing taking so long? Why didn’t I get a PIN request on my phone?

See this topic: How to Pair with the Aranet Home app. The topic shows the pairing process, which is the same for all of the devices.

What would be the first things to try if the Aranet device is not pairing to the Aranet Home application on a mobile device?

Please first try:

1. Take out the batteries of the Aranet device.

2. Set jumper switch in the battery compartment for Bluetooth service in OFF (down) position, then back to ON (Up) position;

3. If you have the Aranet4 or Aranet2 Home device (Not Pro), then also make sure the 4th switch is in the OFF (down) position.

4. Put batteries in the correct polarisation again inside the Aranet (both batteries in the same direction with the + pole on the left side);

5. Uninstall the Aranet Home app completely and delete/forget the paired Aranet device from Bluetooth connected devices on the mobile device.

6. Restart the mobile device.

7. Install the application again and pair the Aranet device to the mobile device, not via the Bluetooth devices menu, but only via the Aranet Home application.
