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. It usually looks like: https://yoursitename.herokuapp.com

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

APPLIES TO:

Your Nightscout URL defined in Railway by your Web app name, as shown in your Dashboard. It usually looks like: https://yoursitename.up.railway.app

Your Nightscout password, is the API_SECRET variable you can find editing your Railway 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.

Verify, update or add these variables:

BRIDGE_USER_NAME BRIDGE_PASSWORD BRIDGE_SERVER

Edit in Heroku:

Or edit in Railway.

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

MOST COMMON ERRORS

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 in to your Dexcom account. If your account info isn't valid, or you don't see any data in your Clarity account... you need to figure out your actual credentials before moving ahead. See here for troubleshooting tips and information on your Dexcom account.

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.

Medtronic CareLink⌁

The mmconnect plugin is NOT functional anymore with recent pumps (7xx) in cloud Nightscout sites.

You can use an Android phone with a private version of xDrip+. See here how to set it up.

Medtronic 600 Series with uploader ⌁

You can also use this QR code generator and the menu item Scan NS-Autoconfig QR Code to copy the information.

For hosted Nightscout you'll find the QR code generator in Uploaders, select the HTTP tab.

You might want to setup additional fields for your pump.
