NS Client

• What it does?

It just connects to your Nightscout server and provide support for other applications.

• Does it have GUI?

No GUI suitable for regular users at the moment. But maybe someone write it.

• How to use it?

Write your own app and listen to broadcasts to get new data from Nightscout. Send broadcasts to write to mongo database.

• Any other features there?

NS Client can emulate xDrip app if you don't have physical device available. It supports xDrip extension for DanaApp too (OpenAPS implementation for DanaR pump)

• Some examples?

Look at the and of MainActivity

• And how do I get response?

When you upload treatment you should receieve it back if you listen to treatment broadcasts after it goes through mongo

• Do I need care about success/failure of upload?

No. NS client takas care about it. Undelivered records are queued and delivered when client reconnects to server.

• Are there any limitations?

When record is stored to queue, there is not preserved upload order on reconnection. When you send dbUpdate or dbUpdateUnset only last request to the same record is stored to queue.
