Libre NFC

These days almost all phones support NFC scanning. If yours does, you can scan your Libre 1, US 14 days, Libre 2/2+ (EU) and Libre Pro sensor with xDrip+ in addition to the vendor supplied LibreLink. Please note, xDrip+ NFC scan cannot start a sensor - only LibreLink - (or the reader) can do this.

 Hardware Data Source
  LibreAlarm

Supported data sources

In order to access the NFC menu, you need to select one of the Libre data sources.

If you will only use xDrip+ to scan the sensor you should choose LibreAlarm.

Note

If you enable xDrip+ NFC scan support, you should disable any other app that will try to read NFC devices in order to avoid conflicts. This is especially true for the Libre vendor app.

Configure NFC

Configure NFC exactly like this.

Supported sensors

Only Libre 1 and Pro are natively supported by xDrip+ for NFC readings. In order to scan a Libre 14 days US or a Libre 2 Europe you need an Out of Process Algorithm installed on the phone.

Minimum scanning interval

You should wait at least 60 seconds between two NFC scans.


Continue to Start Sensor, remembering that you will need to scan the sensor to get initial readings.
