Example usage

sudo node example <######> where <######> is the 6-character serial number of the transmitter.

To see verbose output, use sudo DEBUG=* node example <######>, or replace the * with a comma separated list of the modules you would like to debug. E.g. sudo DEBUG=smp,transmitter,bluetooth-manager node example <######>.

bluetoothctl is used to accept the incoming pairing request. From a command prompt, enter bluetoothctl and then enter the following commands (some may not be necessary depending on your configuration):

agent off
agent KeyboardDisplay
default-agent
pairable on
power on

When the transmitter is found, type 'yes' to accept the pairing request:

To view the current status of the transmitter, open a browser and navigate to http://<local IP address>:3000. E.g. http://localhost:3000 or http://192.168.1.3:3000. This will vary depending on your local network setup.

One-shot mode additional installation steps

If you want xdrip-js to connect to the transmitter, wait for the first bg, then exit, you will need to follow these additional installation steps. This mode is useful if you have an issue with disconnecting sensors. Doing it one-shot at a time seems to make it more reliable in this case.
