Thanks for info Pugsy! I am going to look into whether the module will give me better statistics! I have hated not having the data to learn how to get the most out of my machine. I will also look at the minimum pressure and try increasing it.

Really love the help you and others give to everyone!!

Thanks again

There are often Resmed Airsense 10 Autosets or Resmed S9 autosets being offered here at greatly reduced prices by members

I have decided to purchase the smart link module. I also adjusted the minimum pressure up from 5cm(default) to 7cm. Maximum pressure was set at 15cm (default) so I left it there. I will try this for next few nights and see how it goes while I wait for module to come in the mail. I think I saw in reviews that it can read snore activity, so hope it will give me the data I have been wanting. Will post update later.

Thanks again for help

I hope you haven't spent the money yet on that module. Until a week ago I used the same machine with the module.

One problem I had with the machine is it kept insisting that I had major leaks. I think as a result it was upping my volume to try to maintain its calculated mask pressure. The mask I was using was comfortable and I could not feel any leaks while awake so assumed I was causing it to leak in my sleep. It was driving me nuts trying to get the leaks out. Since I have the module, I finally plugged into it and monitored it live and it was showing huge mask leaks while I could feel none.

I switched last week to an Autosense 10 using the same mask. I did not make any adjustments to the mask and now sleepyhead is showing my leak levels as good. I also went from AHI 5.x on the machine you have to 1.5 the first night on the autosense with same pressure settings. What I do not know if the difference in numbers is due to the Autosense having better treatment or if one of the machines has less accurate reporting. Based on what I read on this forum, I suspect it is the former.

It feels like much less volume at a given number with this new machine. That is why I think the old machine was pumping up my volume.

If you still plan to spend the money on the module and have not yet ordered it, I would be willing to sell the one off of my machine but I would not spend any more money on that machine if I were you.

Unfortunately I already bought the module before I saw previous post. But I do have info now that I am not sure how to read. I think my AHI is good but don’t know about how to read the data for sure. Still seem to be snoring. Here are my screen shots of sleepyhead.

I would raise your minimum pressure to 8 for a few nights we may need to go as high as 9
