Great to know that. If not, can you provide an expired device? |

xDrip should already work in companion mode with the G7 app. Let me know if not. |

@Navid200 let me know if you want a live or expired G7 to help with xDrip native implementation. |

So im testing the G7 with Xdrip+. It works just find and gets al lthe data from the notifications to Xdrip. Somehow i disable a low bg warning tonight and then xdrip did not receive and data for a few hours. "Errorlog: Did not find any matches“ - Need to do a few more tests. The meassured bg G6 vs G7 is pretty comparable within 10-15mg/dl. So thats a good thing. BUT: Sadly the G7 App does not do any backsmoothing of the bg values it gets from the sensor. This looks like this: which makes it impossible to use in AAPS as a reliable bg source to loop with as the new received bg vary too much. Another picture from the received G7 values within Xdrip: Either Dexcom needs to update the G7 app (if they want to work with comercial loops) or Xdrip somehow enables a smoothing, compared to the L2/L3 (But the L2/L3 values come in every minute - G7 every 5.) All in all - looping (AAPS) with the G7 is technically possible, in reality not feasible due to extreme fluctuations. |

The g7 itself is very unreliable. Had three sensor errors within the last 12 hours. Those are not pressure lows - they just happen…. Values are very jumpy too. |

@blaqone Do you have a phone that is supported by the official Dexcom G7 app? |

Read through this whole thing, but I'm still unsure. Is the official G7 app required in order to use xdrip+ with the G7? |

I use the G7 with the companion mode too. Sadly the battery drain from the G7 App is very high. A direct implementation in xDrip would be nice for the battery. The G7 App uses more Power than AAPS. With the Libre before i never noticed a battery drain from the Libre App. I Hope someone will implement the G7 in xDrip soon. |

I'm running Xdrip+ and the latest G7 app released today. It no longer activates GPS, so that should reduce the battery drain.. however, I am not getting any data from it. I have both Companion App and Companion Bluetooth active. |

So from reading it sounds like theres not going to be g7 compatibility with xdrip+? Was hoping to see if there would be an update and a possibility of sometime in the near future having it connect directly with the g7 rather than having to run both apps. Going back and forth on whether I should move to the g7 or not. |

What are the current obstacles regarding the G7 support? Why is it not possible to integrate it like for G5/G6? Is it only a lack of manpower or also some serious issues with communication, code, whatsoever? |

Does anybody know whether it will be possible in the future to use xdrip with the G7 without having another Dexcom app installled/running? So is it a question of time or is it impossible? This is maybe important for many users who are going back and forth whether changing from G6 to G7. |

I am wondering if anyone else is seeing the issues with G7 in companion mode where sometimes it misses readings or gives the same reading twice. And it seems to get out of sync and get behind by minutes. I used xDrip in companion mode with CamAPS before and it did not have these issues. I am thinking it might be an issue with the G7 App sending multiple notifications, or something. I am a bit familiar with the UIBasedCollector code, if there is anything I can do to help please let me know. |

Will Xdrip still work with the G6 sensor and transmitter after the patch? |

Can't wear two sensors with Xdrip :( so activate one and set the other 6/h before and then activate it. As soon as the second sensor has been set, the following happens. |

I was to give a huge THANK YOU to the people that implemented G7 support in xDrip+. It really saved my ass. I am from the USA and was in Mexico when my phone died. I bought a new one, but couldn't log in to the Dexcom G7 app. It's not allowed to log in to the app unless your phone is physically in the USA (or whatever country matches your Dexcom account), an absurd restriction. If it wasn't for this support in xDrip I would have had to fly back to the USA over a month early just to log in to the app or go back to finger sticks. So, once again: THANK YOU! |

@Navid200 Is there a chance to get your required QR code for G7 integrated in xDrip to make the G7 work out of the box? Interestingly I could make a sensor working with xDrip where binary blob doesn't get/show data anymore :) |

Is the source code available for these changes? If so, where? |

This thread dates back to 2022 and really doesn't serve any purpose now as there has been full support for a long time. I will close it as every comment causes everyone who previously has commented to get pinged with a notification. |

The Dexcom G7 is out since a few weeks/months (I don't know it exactly...).
Will xDrip have a G7 Support in near future?
I would be happy if you implement it, because my Smartphone is not compatible with the G7 App and I want to upgrade from my G6.
Kind regards
Thorin E.
