Nightscout-Windows-Integration
A small app that shows you your glucose value in the taskbar by using NightScout.
Demo
Installation
- Install Python 3.10 (Make sure that Python is in your path)
- Unpack the downloaded zip file
Configure config.json with the NWI-Configurator (recommended):
- Run
main.pywonce with administrative permissions (All necessary libraries are installed automatically, the second time the admin rights are no longer required.) - The NWI-Configurator will ask you for the necessary information.
- It will look like this by default:
- Paste your Nightscout URL into the “Nightscout URL” field. Make sure that the URL starts with “http://” or “https://”.
- Paste your Nightscout API-Token with the appropiate permissions into the “Nightscout API-Token” field.
- Change the interval in minutes, at which value is queried on nightscout at “Refresh Rate” (Default is 2 minutes).
- Click the checkbox “Show direction?”, as you want to see the direction of the glucose value (as shown in the demo).
Configure config.json manually (click to expand):
#### How it looks like by default
```json
{
"nightscout_url": "",
"api_token": "",
"with_direction": true,
"refresh_rate": 2
}
```
