Use Diabetes Data from xdrip without nightscout

I found an easy workaround for my problem.
The latest notification sensor in the HA companion app can be configured to send xdrip notifications to HA. It works. Data is coming in every 5 minutes when xdrip is updated.

Now i need to make a sensor from the attribute and make myself a nice dashbaord card and some fancy automations based on the Sugar value.

Your post has reminded me that you use camaps fx. I am currently on a tandem pump. But I have an option to move to a ypsopump plus camaps fx. I am curious what you think of this combo? Cheers.

CAMAPS was a big improvement in our case. We were on Medtronic before. Now I do almost no manual corrections during the night.
They is still lots of room for improvement on the follower app. But together with xdrip it is fine.

Thanks. Such a game changer, wish weā€™d had pumps 50 years ago.

Curious to know more about configuring that last notification stuff. A how to would be greatā€¦

that is an easy task, but I need to translate german HA app content to english. It may differ from the actual wording.
Do you receive xdrip notifications with the BC values every 5 minutes on you smartphone?
Within the settings of you home assistant companion app, go to Sensor settings, scroll down to notification sensors and click on latest notification. click on whitelist and search for xdrip and activate it. ThatĀ“s it. You will find the BC Values in the latest notification entity of HA. You need to look at the attributes, as well.

Hope that helps.

Thanks again. I have done some fiddling and think I have set up notifications right now, but that allow list is looking and impossible to search. Iā€™ll play again after work.

The list is awfully long with strange names, but you will find xDrip+ almost at the bottom. Make sure you receive the xdrip notification in HA, only.
