Uploaders setup⌁


Note

You usually should express the Nightscout URL in secure https://, not only http://. (Unless you set INSECURE_USE_HTTP to true)

APPLIES TO:

Your Nightscout URL defined in Heroku by your App name, is the one that shows when you open your Nightscout site in a browser.

Your Nightscout password, is the API_SECRET variable you can find editing your Heroku variables like this.

APPLIES TO:

You will find the Uploader url and Api Secret required to configure your uploader here.


Dexcom⌁

You need at least one follower to use Dexcom Share.

Note

If you use a DIY closed loop system it is recommended that you let it upload to Nightscout instead of importing data using Dexcom Share and the bridge plugin.

On your master phone, touch the Share icon, enable Sharing. If you have no follower, add one. You can also invite yourself.


APPLIES TO:

In order to use the Dexcom Share servers to upload to Nightscout, you need to setup (and if not present add) the following variables in Heroku:

From Settings, click on the Reveal Config Vars


Verify, update or add these variables:


You need to add bridge in the ENABLE variable. Do not delete other entries, just add bridge after a space.


MOST COMMON ERRORS

The BRIDGE_PASSWORD and BRIDGE_USER_NAME are NOT visible from within your Dexcom app or online account. The values for them are what you entered into your Dexcom mobile app when you VERY FIRST logged into that app however long ago. The BRIDGE_USER_NAME is not an email address. The most common error on initial Nightscout setups is that people incorrectly use an old account or an old password. To test your username and password, go to Dexcom's Clarity page (check here for USA accounts and here for the others) and try logging into your Dexcom account. If your account info doesn't let you in, or you don't see data in your Clarity account...then you need to figure out your actual credentials before moving ahead.

Password

Some people have had problems with their bridge connecting when their Dexcom passwords are entirely numeric. If you have connection issues in that case, try changing your password to something with a mix of numbers and letters.


APPLIES TO:

For hosted Nightscout put your Dexcom credentials in Dexcom Bridge.


This plugin is NOT functional anymore with Heroku.

You can use an Android phone with a private version of xDrip+, a computer or a Raspberry Pi to bridge CareLink to Nightscout.

Plugin setup documented here with additional fields for your pump.
