Old Android certificates

You might not be able to use this feature with phones running below Android 9 if they rely on expired certificates (example).
There is no workaround.

Nightscout

For using xDrip+ with data coming from your Nightscout site, you only need to enter your site URL.

Nightscout Follow URL

 Web address for following

With a classic DIY Nightscout, the URL will look like this: https://sitename.yourprovider.com
Do not add /api/v1
Make sure to use https not http

If you use a hosted service contact the vendor for more information.

If your Nightscout site is secured, you need to add the API_SECRET or a token information.

https://API_SECRET@sitename.yourprovider.com

https://access_token@sitename.yourprovider.com

Download Treatments

You can also download compatible treatments from Nightscout (BG, calibrations, treatments, notes).

Download Treatments

 Also download treatments from Nightscout as follower

If you want to avoid the risk of data duplication (important for AAPS) you can prevent xDrip+ from downloading data it has been uploading to Nightscout.

Skip items from xDrip

 Avoid downloading items uploaded by xDrip

If you experience large delays in xDrip+, you can set a fixed delay to re-synchronize it with Nightscout. Leave this at default.

Nightscout Follow delay

Note

xDrip+ performs limited (24 hours) data backfilling from Nightscout.


Diabox

You can receive data from Diabox by enabling http broadcast in the app and making xDrip+ a local follower.

Warning

You cannot use this feature with xDrip+ running a web service.

Once done set xDrip+ in Nightscout follower (see above) with the address:

http://localhost:17580
