App similar to Oscar for Dreamstation 2

Post by ClayL » Sun Nov 13, 2022 2:51 pm

The apps( Phone and PC both) for my dreamstation2 are barebones and not very informative.. I really miss Oscar. Is anyone working on an Oscar equivalent app?

The current production release of OSCAR now supports Dream Station 2!

It appears to support a Dreamstation 2 that uses a SD card. My Dreamstation 2 does not use an SD card but instead only has a Bluetooth connection to my Smartphone. Am I missing something?

Remove the humidifier tank and the SD Card slot is on the exposed panel upper right. OSCAR works well with the DS2.

Thank you so much.
When I got the machine the DME guy that came out set it up for Bluetooth and did not mention the SD card. My fault for not thoroughly reading the manual. Plugged one in and will see what the data looks like in the morning. This machine does not appear to hold the last 30 days of data like my old machine did. When I plugged the card in I got no message about card activity. The folder was created though so hopefully it will record tonight.

The "DME guy" didn't want you to be poking around and looking at your own data and possibly changing settings he put on :mrgreen: .

Which means he probably knows nothing useful.
