Installing MMeowlink

Setup

As this is still a WIP, I don't have a Python package available yet. Install it as follows:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/oskarpearson/mmeowlink.git mmeowlink-source
cd mmeowlink-source
git checkout master
sudo pip install -e .

openaps vendor add --path . mmeowlink.vendors.mmeowlink

This will create an entry like this in your openaps.ini:

[vendor "mmeowlink.vendors.mmeowlink"]
path = .
module = mmeowlink.vendors.mmeowlink

Note that you might need to delete any existing 'pump' device before running the add, so as to disassociate the pump device from CareLink.

If you already have the loop running with CareLink, you should remove the existing pump definition:

openaps device remove pump

This will remove this section from your openaps.ini:

[device "pump"]
extra = pump.ini

The parameter format is as follows:

openaps device add pump mmeowlink <radio_type> <port> <serial_number_of_pump>

For example, if you're on an Edison with the subg_rfspy firmware, with pump serial number 12345 your command would be:

openaps device add pump mmeowlink subg_rfspy /dev/ttyMFD1 12345

Once run, this would appear in your openaps.ini file:

[device "pump"]
vendor = mmeowlink.vendors.mmeowlink
extra = pump.ini

The pump.ini file would contain the following:

[device "pump"]
serial = 12345
port = /dev/ttyMFD1
radio_type = subg_rfspy

For the mmcommander hardware, replace 'subg_rfspy' with 'mmcommander'
