Compatible CGMs
This section provides a brief overview of all compatible CGMs/FGMs with AAPS.
Tip: If you can display your glucose data in xDrip app, you can choose xDrip as BG source in AAPS.
Nightscout as BG Source: While it’s possible to use Nightscout as a BG source for closed-loop insulin delivery, this method is not recommended due to its reliance on stable mobile data or Wi-Fi connectivity. This means your CGM data would only be received by AAPS when you have an online connection to your Nightscout site. For a more reliable setup, using a CGM with local broadcast from the receiver (as listed below) to AAPS is a much better option.

Trusted BG data sources
Regulatory approved CGMs for commercial hybrid closed loop systems are considered trusted BG data sources.
In order for AAPS to correctly identify them, the app sending BG readings must be able to provide sensor information.
Trusted data sources allow SMB delivery, all the time.
AAPS checks the sensor named in the latest BG reading it received, whichever BG source delivered it. After you change your BG source, the SMB “always” settings appear only once the first reading from the new source has arrived.

Online BG sources are not recommended for closed looping
Some sources that need an internet connection can also be trusted:
xDrip Dexcom Share follower (any Dexcom sensor)
the Nightscout BG source (AAPSClient, or AAPS following your Nightscout site), when the uploader names one of the sensors above
These sources are not recommended for a closed loop. When your phone or the CGM uploader loses its connection, AAPS receives no BG readings and cannot loop. Readings also arrive late, after the delay of the cloud service. Use a CGM app that sends its readings to AAPS directly on the phone (as listed in the table above) whenever possible.
Other follower modes (xDrip Nightscout or Web follower, CareLink follower, Juggluco Nightscout) are never trusted.
