This is a Prometheus metrics exporter for the Aranet4 CO2 sensor. It is written in Python and uses the Prometheus client library

The exporter connects to the sensor over bluetooth and exposes the following metrics:

• aranet4_co2
• aranet4_temperature
• aranet4_pressure
• aranet4_humidity
• aranet4_battery_level
• aranet4_update_interval
• aranet4_since_last_update

1. Set environment variables to configure the exporter:

   • POLLING_INTERVAL_SECONDS how often to poll the sensor (default: 5)
   • EXPORTER_PORT port to expose the metrics on (default: 80)
   • SENSOR_MAC_ADDRESS MAC address of the sensor to poll. If not set, the exporter will use autodiscovery to find the sensor.

2. Install the dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the exporter:

   python src/main.py

4. Test the exporter by view the output in a browser: http://localhost:80

1. Add the exporter to your prometheus config:

   scrape_configs:
     - job_name: co2-monitor
       static_configs:
         - targets:
             - {IP ADDRESS OF EXPORTER}:{EXPORTER_PORT}
           labels: null
           job: co2-monitor

   OR if you're using Prometheus Operator in Kubernetes, create the following ScrapeConfig CRD:

   apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1alpha1
   kind: ScrapeConfig
   metadata:
     name: co2-monitor
     namespace: monitoring
     labels:
       release: kube-prometheus-stack
   spec:
     staticConfigs:
       - labels:
         job: co2-monitor
         targets:
           - {IP ADDRESS OF EXPORTER}:{EXPORTER_PORT}

2. Import the Grafana dashboard from dashboard.json into your Grafana instance. Choose the Prometheus data source that is configured to scrape the exporter.

   

• The exporter uses the pyaranet4 library to communicate with the sensor. Currently there is a bug when specifying a MAC address manually, so until this pr is merged, i've bundled a forked version of the library in this repo with the fix applied. Thanks stinjnstijn!

• The basic scaffolding of the code for the exporter is based on Thomas Stringer's example. Thanks Thomas!
