WARNING WORK IN PROGRESS

Do not attempt to setup the software right now, unless you can read & understand the code and able to make necessary configuration changes. Please follow the progress on these two projects:

omnipy project
AndroidAPS Omnipod project

These are tasks related to making the project less about me and more about everyone, so please stick with me until they are complete. Many thanks for your patience!

Setup

There are several components that needs to be set up, before you can start omnipy. Difficulty varies with experience

Android Setup

Android OS & Software

Android users unfortunately don't have much say when it comes to preinstalled software on their phones, but it is advised to not install any software other than what's required for omnipy on your android phone or tablet.

If you have the experience and possibility to root your device, it may prove beneficial to do it, if you can eliminate the possibility of your phone's OS to interfere with the operation of Android APS software and the phone's general management of connectivity options / battery optimizations. But be aware there is a real danger that you may lose some hardware functionality, due to many custom roms providing some sort of compatible device drivers, but not the actual ones from the manufacturer. If you exactly know what you're doing, then please go ahead. Otherwise stay away from experimenting on a device which is going to host a critical application for your well-being.

Connection to Raspberry Pi

In order to use omnipy, Android APS and the raspberry pi need to be on the same local area network. (Assuming you are not using the currently undocumented MQTT option)
