Good Day,  
I apologize in advance if this has been discussed. I am looking for the “cliff notes” on how to get the Dexcom G6 BG readings to another device in real-time. I see the Dexcom G6 developer API has at least a 3 hour delay. The G6 is connected to an iphone and I would like to interface with a home automation gateway and use IFTTT. I see that Nightscott is being used, but directly with the G6? what other software needs to be installed on the iphone? etc.?  
Thanks,  
Steve.

If you are using an Iphone, have you tried the Dexcom Follow app, or are you trying to export the data?

Hi @stevekrueger What you want to do is very easily accomplished with xDrip+ on Android. For the iPhone you can use Spike (not in the app store, but Google it). I think the same export capabilities are available.

All of the recent app development has been subject to the 3 hour lag, except for PredictBGL, which utilizes Share, not Clarity, but it’s API does not allow sharing with another app.
