Description

Testing 3.0-beta1 with Omnipod Dash after successfully using 2.8.2 with Omnipod Eros since November 2020. Just noticed for Omnipod Dash we no longer have the option in settings to automatically acknowledge pod alerts (Like reservoir low, pod expired after 72 hrs etc). This means pod keeps beeping regularly until we go in the Dash tab and press Acknowledge alert(s).

I would appreciate if this is eventually added for Dash as well since it creates more frequent interruptions in class etc when we have these persistent loud regular beeps until we manually acknowledge whatever the pod is telling us.

If I remember correctly these pod alerts were also added as notes before automatically acknowledging them to the pod, but that may have been a dream scenario. In a parent/child setup like we have with AAPS and NSClient where the parent is the one monitoring pod reservoir, alerts, pod change schedules etc, having a note in the log/graph area (either a Notification like from automation or a Note like AndroidAPS started) is much more useful than repeating pod beep alerts when I am not in the same room as my daughter, since a note will also be visible in NSClient.

Thank you all for doing really great work in creating and maintaining this app/system, it is very appreciated!

Research direction

Start by tracing how Omnipod Dash alerts are handled from the Dash tab and settings, then compare that behavior with the existing Omnipod Eros option. Review how alerts or notes appear in the graph area and NSClient; done means Dash alerts can be automatically acknowledged and the relevant event is visible as a note or notification.
