You **must** use https to connect, which means you need a certificate.  Everything else seems pretty straight-forward and I have verified that it works, pulling numbers from Dexcom share, if you configure BRIDGE_USER_NAME, BRIDGE_PASSWORD, and "bridge" under the Enable options.  Everywhere pages mention changing the "Config Vars", this maps directly to the environment variables in the "start.sh" file.

1 +Hello Richard,
2 +
3 +
4 +Thank you for your post above, it is just the starting point i was looking for.
5 +
6 +
7 +My goal is to monitor in near real time and share via web pages our son's Libra sensor content via a MiaoMiao2 .
8 +
9 +We are finding as he does a lot of sport, especially as soccer training ramps up,  he can go low even with good insulin management and nite time.
10 +
11 +If we could get on top of nite lows, he and us will sleep better, my hope is NightScout will be the engine that helps us.
12 +
13 +Have not as yet used the NightScout platform or the MiaoMiao, looking forward to the challenges ahead  to sort it out.
14 +
15 +
16 +I personally like the ability to run a raspberry pi 4 with a local database and web server and then share that via our ISP to me and my wife to browse in and check status etc.
17 +
18 +Alarms and low prediction are the icing on the cake.
19 +
20 +The pi will be initially located in his bedroom and we would locate a dedicated browser / monitor screen in our kitchen / lounge for simple visibility.
21 +
22 +
23 +Once we have above going, adding more BT sensor monitor pick-up points and maybe using his cellphone can be explored.
24 +
25 +
26 +This will be an interesting evening project over the coming weeks that should be a significant step forward for our family.
27 +
28 +
29 +Kind regards
30 +
31 +Brent from New Zealand
