Could we include an image of the LoopFollow homescreen here to accompany the description below?

A nicety but not necessary 🤷‍♂️


!!! warning "*Nightscout* version must be 15.0.2 or newer"
To properly display the OpenAPS pill with Trio 0.5.x (or newer), your *Nightscout* version must be 15.0.2 (or newer). If you do not see the expected treatments or pills in the *Nightscout* dashboard, follow the steps to [Configure for OpenAPS](#configure-for-openaps).
The recommended approach is to use Trio 0.5.x (or newer) with the *LoopFollow* app to use the Trio Remote Control setting.

Consider updating to 0.7.x now that dev has been merged into main.

!!! important "Attention Trio Users"
At this time all users should [build the dev branch](build/browser/build-dev-with-browser.md) rather than the main branch. We are in the process of merging dev into main. Once that is complete, you will be able to build main again.

This needs updating. Build main over dev.

1. Open **Trio** app
2. Navigate to **Settings → Devices → CGM**
3. Tap **Add CGM**
4. Select **xDrip4iOS** from the list

Is this correct? With some Dexcom sensors via xdrip, you still select the specific CGM as the source in trio.

Thanks, but don’t bother looking through this one yet. Still needs to resolve merge conflicts with the latest dev and several parts still needs fixing, as you saw.
