Nightscout Pro help

Build your setup guide

Connect your data, then add the apps and displays that will follow it. Your guide puts the steps in order.

Already connected but something has stopped working? Start with troubleshooting.

1 Your data source

Choose the phone that collects the data. Follower phones can be different. This checks our documented upload routes; your sensor, pump and app must already work together.

2 Choose the connection that sends data

Using Trio on iPhone? Open the Trio connection guide, or select Trio below to add follower apps to your guide.

Use one primary upload path to this Nightscout site. If Loop, Trio or AAPS already receives your glucose, choose that app. Its CGM source is a prerequisite; you do not need to turn on a second Nightscout uploader.

Select a connection to see its scope and prerequisites.

Check device, app and data coverage

3 Add follower apps or displays (optional)

These read your Nightscout site. Set them up on the intended follower devices; changing a collecting app to follower mode can stop its direct sensor collection. Viewing access does not enable insulin commands.

4 Add related tasks (optional)

Already using Loop? Its remote-command prerequisites are separate from viewing and reporting.

Dexcom on Android: AAPS uploader

Connect an already working AAPS uploader to your Nightscout Pro site. Sensor model and region must also be supported by the app.

Dexcom on Android: BYODA and Nightscout

Modified Dexcom app setup is outside this guide’s support scope. Use the documented Dexcom Share route when it works, or an established xDrip+/AAPS upload path.

Alternative setup needed

Libre 1 on Android: LibreLinkUp

Import Libre 1 readings already present in a linked LibreLinkUp account. Scanning-based sources update after scans/uploads; this does not promise continuous automatic sensor collection.

Libre 2 on Android: LibreLinkUp

Use a LibreLinkUp follower account that already displays this person’s readings; scanning and regional app capabilities determine which readings exist.

Libre 3 on Android: LibreLinkUp

Use a LibreLinkUp follower account that already displays this person’s readings; scanning and regional app capabilities determine which readings exist.

Medtronic on Android: xDrip+ uploader

Upload existing fresh xDrip+ readings only. For a new Medtronic connection, use native Pro Connect CareLink; this route does not establish legacy pump compatibility.

Dexcom on iPhone: Loop uploader

Connect an already working Loop uploader to your Nightscout Pro site. Sensor model and region must also be supported by the app.

Dexcom on iPhone: iAPS uploader

Connect an already working iAPS uploader to your Nightscout Pro site. Sensor model and region must also be supported by the app.

Libre 1 on iPhone: Loop uploader

Connect an already working Loop uploader to your Nightscout Pro site. Sensor model and region must also be supported by the app.

Libre 1 on iPhone: iAPS uploader

Connect an already working iAPS uploader to your Nightscout Pro site. Sensor model and region must also be supported by the app.

Libre 1 on iPhone: LibreLinkUp

Libre 2 on iPhone: LibreLinkUp

Use a LibreLinkUp follower account that already displays this person’s readings; scanning and regional app capabilities determine which readings exist.

Libre 3 on iPhone: LibreLinkUp

Use a LibreLinkUp follower account that already displays this person’s readings; scanning and regional app capabilities determine which readings exist.

Twiist with Pro Connect

Native Insiight follower connection with bounded data coverage; optional Tidepool enrichment.

MyLife / CamAPS cloud testing

Testing connection: verify actual glucose and treatment coverage before depending on it.

Testing — check limitations

CamAPS companion routes

Distinguish the Android phone path from experimental adapters unavailable in the Pro Connect menu.

Testing — check limitations

Other devices and unlisted sources

Check exact device, region, app and data type; use the Eversense NOW guide for its follower route, and check other unlisted sources with support.

Alternative setup needed

xDrip4iOS upload

Send readings already present in xDrip4iOS to Nightscout; sensor support remains app-specific.

Shuggah upload

Connect the Nightscout service in a working Shuggah installation; do not upload to a site followed by the same app.
