This page explains how to set up xDrip Sync. You will need both the master and follower phones.
It will need Google Play services to be on your phone.
On master, go to Settings −> xDrip+ Sync settings, and tap on Be master for followers.
Tap on Settings −> Show Settings QR codes.
Tap on xDrip plus security key settings only.
The QR code will now display on the master phone.
On the follower phone, tap on Settings −> Auto configure.
Scan the QR code shown on the master screen.
Approve the import.
This will change all the required settings, on the follower, to follow the master.
All that is shown in a clip here.
In some cases, the scan does not work. You can manually set up the follower:
Under Settings −> Hardware Data Source, select xDrip+ Sync Follower.
Then, go to Settings −> xDrip+ Sync Settings and tap on Handset Group Security Sync Key. Make sure the key matches the key on the same page on the master.
By default, the follower can upload treatments to the master, calibrate it, and even stop sensor on it. Disable Allow follower actions to remove that possibility.
This is allowed so that a parent can have control over a child’s master if the child is too young to perform functions like calibration.
If you are the one calibrating or stopping sensors and don’t need the follower to accidentally interfere, you need to disable the following setting.
On both master and follower, ensure that Settings −> xDrip+ Sync Settings −> Disable all sync features is disabled (no check mark beside it).
