If This Then That (IFTT)
| |
 |
Sunday, 15 September 2022
5pm PT / 8pm ET
Zoom. or
Loop and Learn YouTube LiveStream
IFTTT is the best way to integrate apps, devices, and services. It was founded on the belief that everything works better together. Tech incompatibility has become challenging for anyone trying to build smart home or create automatic routines in their life. IFTTT automates and makes your life easier by linking online services and smart home devices together through user-created (THAT’S YOU!) Applets, which perform individual tasks.Matt will talk about using IFTTT with Alexa and Google Home as well as how webhooks work. You can use these on either Android or iOS devices (but he is only proficient on the Android environment). If you knowledgeable about Apple/iOS Shortcut or IFTTT on Apple devices, please come to provide us with additional wisdom.
Matt is a dad to 2 children and a wife living with T1D ... and he’s on the fringe.
He co-owns a digital marketing agency in Washington State (US), specializing in
web development, SEO and conversion optimization.
If you don’t understand what this means, you should attend this event and learn more!!!

Please Help Us Build the “loop- friendly” Provider Resource!
| |
 |
Is your endocrinologist/healthcare team looper-friendly or even a looping expert?
Thank you to our many friends who have contributed to our list of Loop-friendly providers... we have over 100 on our list already!
We are excited to share this excellent resource and encourage you to add your provider's name to the list if you have not yet.
With almost 6,000 members, certainly more have providers who we can add to the list to benefit our community (as well as the providers). Please use this form to add yours today!
We will update the list regularly, and post it on the Loop and Learn website … plus it will live under Files in our FB group.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING

Important Notice for Nightscout Users
On August 25, Heroku announced that it is shutting down its free service level that so many of us use for Nightscout hosting. Thank you to Heroku, which has allowed NS to thrive in their environment for YEARS, essentially supporting this community to the value of millions of dollars.
You can read their full posting by clicking the link below.
Users will have 90 days to decide how they want to proceed. We will update you as more options become available, but for now, your options are to:
- Pay for hosting at Heruko, (around $7 per month),
- Migrate to another hosting service such as Digital Ocean (around $5 per month),
- Subscribe to T1Pal, or
- Subscribe to ns10.be
As you consider your options, you should check to make sure that the remote features that many caregivers rely upon, such as remote overrides for Loop-master, or remote carb entry and remote bolus for Loop-dev may not be available with the subscription services listed above. Please do your homework. [Message sent to Ben and Jon. Does anyone have contact info for Martin?]

It's Time to Rebuild
| |
 |
Apple is going to be releasing iPhone 14 on Sept 7. At around the same time, it is likely to release iOS 16, and new MacOS and Xcode. Our best advice is that if you need to update your Loop between now and Oct 1, then do it before Sept 7.
Here are the steps:
- Update your MacOS and Xcode
- Get a new provisioning profile by running the LnL's Build Select Script utility script #3.
- Rebuild Loop using your existing iOS.
- Update your phone’s iOS.
- Turn off Install iOS Updates on your phone.
WARNING - for the last few years, when a new iPhone is released, there are lots of anxious loopers who rush out to buy the newest phone with the latest iOS and are disappointed when Loop is difficult or impossible to build. Please be patient. Loop's developers are typically quick to resolve any issues, but there are lots of people who sadly need to revert back to traditional pump therapy during the few day period that these issues take to resolve. Please consider yourself warned.
