FROM README SMS Uploader Addition for Nightscout Dexcom Uploader Version 1.2 2014-08-17 Features  Sends text message directly from upload device using Clickatell SMS subscription  Can send to one or more cell phones. Smartphone/web are not needed on the listening device.  This app also sends to Mongo/Azure for web/pebble monitoring (retains Nightscout capability)  Sends text messages like “BG 110 up 4”, “BG 120 down 7”, or “BG 100 stable” o Sends a text message at first reading outside of specified BG range o Sends additional messages every X minutes until back in range (configurable)  You can set min/max BG thresholds to avoid alerting when in range (see “risks” below**)  If the CGM loses signal and displays no data, sends text message “No data” every 5 min  If the BG is under 55, sends text message “UNDER 55” every 5 min Risks  Consumer grade technology and untested code. Data may be inaccurate, delayed, or missing.  Do not use this as your only source of monitoring or for overnight monitoring.  ** If the CGM uploader is turned off or network connectivity is lost, no texts will be sent even though BG may still be out of range. No text messages DO NOT mean that BG is OK! Installation and Configuration
