Oscar vs SleepHQ

I am a new CPAP user, only one week in, but being able to view my data with OSCAR combined with all the valuable advise available on this forum, has already helped me a lot. Thank you!
I don't see the need to upload my CPAP data to someone else's cloud platform when I have OSCAR locally on my own machine.

I assume all the old hands here are aware of the Toshiba FlashAir Wifi SD card and that it can be configured to connect to your home wifi network in station mode, but I thought I would post here anyway for other newbies like myself, who are not.

Once the SD card is connected to your wifi network, the data on the card can be downloaded via WEBDAV protocol to your PC for import to OSCAR. Raspberry PI not required, provided that your xPAP machine is not too far away from your wifi AP (the SD card's wifi signal is not strong).

AFAIK the FlashAir Wifi SD cards are not manufactured any more (guess most new digital cameras now have wifi built in).
I was fortunate to locate a brand new (sealed in the box) FlashAir W-03 card (latest version is W-04) locally at an very affordable price.
It requires some tweaking of the configuration file on the card to change it from the default AP to station mode, but Google found the how-to for me.
The data on my Resmed Airsense 10 auto is now on my wifi network for easy download to my PC and import into OSCAR, without touching the SD card.

Until now I have been downloading the data manually every morning from the wifi SD card. Not very fast, but one day's data is a small download.
However it should not be difficult to automate a daily download to a folder on the PC.
With OSCAR pointed at that folder all that is required is a click of the import button when you sit down to look at your data in OSCAR.

I'm looking forward to the Magic Uploader! in the meantime I wrote an app that uploads the cpap data to SleepHQ by inserting the SD Card! you can find it on sourceforge just search for "Auto Data Uploader for SleepHQ"!

It takes me less than a minute to put my card into the laptop and upload the data to sleephq.

Why would I need an app?

You don't! I'm just a programmer and I make the computer work for me! It's there for anyone that simply wants to insert the SD card and then walk away to complete another task!

I am not so lazy or busy that I can’t spare one minute to upload the data and return the card to the cpap.

I am speaking literally.

One minute start to finish.

Then I walk away to complete other tasks.

Well don't use it nuff said! To each their own! Me I get up Pop in my SD card and it uploads my data while I get ready for work. Time is money!

Great for you that you’re so important that you can’t spend 30 seconds to oversee uploading data. lol (we both still have to pop in the card so there’s the other 30 seconds. )

I don’t get being that lazy or self important but hey, have a busy morning!

(i sip my coffee maybe once while it uploads lol)

You see it as lazy I see it as why call myself a programmer if I don't write code that makes my life more convenient?

If you want to dedicate your life and find great meaning in saving a person 30 seconds then have fun with that. lol I don’t need to upload it daily in the morning or any time after that. I could upload once a week or month and the value plummets.

I don’t think you’re lazy for programming.

I think it’s lazy that people use a program for that

edit: I think the idea of a wifi sd card is great but they’re more money than I care to spend since my thirty seconds is not too much time spent.

Value will never plummet! Look at it like this. Every app I write is practice that gives me better skills as practice makes perfect, which means small projects= learning more which someday equates to earning more!

try reading what I said.

practice all you want.

i’m not into open source code programs that do little to nothing to improve my life.

I'm curious to try it. Don't worry about the naysayers.

I work in IT too and fully understand why you created your app. Well done and thanks for sharing,

I tried to find your code on sourceforge, but it seems to have been removed?
Google finds a cached result for "Auto Data Uploader for SleepHQ" on sourceforge, but not an active page.

BTW There are many tools in this world, but nobody has use for them all... but for most tools there are at least some people who do find it useful.

You make a fair point.

To the tech guy-good job well done and good luck with that.

sourceforge deleted it because I didn't share the sourcecode.. it can be downloaded from my dropbox
