best sd wifi card november 2016?

[allennosleep]

I've been googling around and found a lot of posts for wifi cards paired with a resmed cpap machine to be able to wirelessly pull data but most are a year or 3 old. Anyone have any info on what the best sd wifi cards are lately? I would love to get a card that always stays on so I don't have to deal with forcing it to go on or off. My plan is to write a script or something to pull the data every morning, do a quick analysis and send me an email but getting the data wirelessly is key.

thoughts or links?

I am using the Toshiba FlashAir W-03 (W-02 also works). It doesn't have the best range (especially in the machine), but it works with FlashPAP. Not aware of any others that are supported. The price has gone up quite a bit because they don't make the smaller capacity ones any more.

The W-03 has WebDAV capability, which I found to cause problems with file locking. This interfered with its usefulness as a data recorder in the AirSense. So I reverted to the normal http server capability that the W-02 also has.

great thats what I was looking for. I wonder if its possible to see if the file is locked for writing before I try to pull it. Was going to write something in c# or script to pull the files and run them through sleepyhead to send me a report daily.

do you have any problems with the wifi not being on? I was hoping to configure it to use my normal wireless network instead of trying to do a peer to peer wireless connection.

I use a Flash Air card in my Air Curve 10, and run Flash Pap software on my computer to extract my data. Once the data is transferred to my computer, Flash Pap has an area you click on it to exit Flash Pap and start your sleep tracking software.

The reason the Toshiba FlashAir is popular for this application is their published API https://flashair-developers.com/en/documents/api/. The built in Web Server supports getting files with HTTP GET and CGI for file lists. There is no real status reporting so no locked file information. My guess is trying to access a locked file will result in a html error. If you are scripting you might just try FlashPAP because it supports command line switches for automating the transfer of files and already works nicely.

I configured my FlashAir to use my home network and once squared away I have had no problems accessing it.

lawr, perfect. That's exactly what I'm going to do then.
