UPDATING NIGHTSCOUT SITE⌁

If you are new to Loop and haven’t updated your NS site since before December 1, 2016, you will want to update your NS site. You can run either the "master" or "dev" branches of cgm-remote-monitor with Loop. To check what version your Nightscout site is running, go to your Nightscout site and pull open the site settings by clicking on the three horizontal lines at the top right of the screen. Scroll down and see if you are running 0.9.2-dev-20161201 or newer for "dev" branch. Notice the “dev” branch is date stamped 0.9.x-dev-YYYMMDD; or you’ll see version 0.9.2 for "master" branch deployments.

If you are a current NS user and simply want to update your site, this procedure will work as well.

Updating your repository in GitHub⌁

Copy, paste, and goto the one of the following links depending on which branch of cgm-remote-monitor you are currently running (replace yourgithubname with your actual GitHub user name)

for master branch deployments:

https://github.com/yourgithubname/cgm-remote-monitor/compare/master...nightscout:master

For dev branch deployments:

https://github.com/yourgithubname/cgm-remote-monitor/compare/dev...nightscout:dev

Click the big green Create pull request button. Another screen will appear, fill in a title and click button to create the pull request, and then you can Merge pull request, and finally Confirm merge.

Your cgm-remote-monitor repository is now up-to-date. Nice work.
If you don’t have your Heroku set-up to automatically update when your repository is updated, you may have to go into your Heroku Deploy section and manually deploy your branch now that your repository has been updated. Make sure you are connected to your GitHub cgm-remote-monitor repository.

New Loopers Variables⌁

For new Loopers (but old Nightscout users), you will need to add some variables to your Heroku site to Loop.

Click on Reveal Config Vars. Scroll down the bottom of the Config Vars lines until you find the last blank one. You are going to add several additional lines of config vars for Loop use; the DEVICESTATUS_ADVANCED and ENABLE lines are required, the others just make Nightscout more useful when Looping.

KEY	VALUE
ENABLE	bridge loop pump iob cob basal careportal sage cage (Double check that you have at least these words on your ENABLE line. Enter all of the words without commas; just a single space between each word. Make sure autocorrect does not add space between careportal.)
DEVICESTATUS_ADVANCED	true
PUMP_FIELDS	battery reservoir clock status
PUMP_RETRO_FIELDS	battery reservoir clock status
SHOW_FORECAST	loop
SHOW_PLUGINS	loop pump cob iob sage cage careportal
PUMP_ENABLE_ALERTS	true
PUMP_URGENT_BATT_U	30 (This is the pump battery percentage that will trigger a red, urgent alert in NS.)
PUMP_URGENT_BATT_V	1.25 (This is the pump battery voltage that will trigger a red, urgent alert in NS.)
PUMP_URGENT_RES	10 (This is the reservoir volume that will trigger a red, urgent alert in NS.)
PUMP_URGENT_CLOCK	30
LOOP_ENABLE_ALERTS	true
LOOP_WARN	20 (This is the minutes since Loop last successfully looped, the t1d will have a similar notification at this time through the Loop app. This will be a yellow alert in NS.)
LOOP_URGENT	60 (Same as the alert above, but will be red in color and have a shorter snooze option.)

Click on Open App in the top right corner of your Heroku site.

Click on the settings (those three horizontal lines in upper right corner). Now check that your basal render is selected to either default or icicle (personal preference for how the temp basals show as blue lines in NS site), check the boxes that you’d like display pills in the SHOW PLUGINS (usually all of them), and then press save. Your NIGHTSCOUT site is all set-up. Congrats!

Double check that your NS Profile settings are current and that you have a basal profile entered, if you want to see the temp basals that Loop is setting.

EVENT HISTORY⌁

Don't forget to keep you Loop App's Preferred Source set to Event History if you want your NS site to smoothly integrate. Preferred Source set to Reservoir will result in carbs not being uploaded and temp basals not being displayed.
