RE: Cautionary tale Dream Station 2 - Ponydriver - 05-24-2021

I asked the Cpap vendor to exchange the DreamStation 2 for a ResMed unit because I thought that lacking the ability to review data was a defect that I wanted to correct.
He said he would do it but I needed to pay $275.
I think that is too much. The machine itself is wonderful.
Update 2: Thanks for your response. I don't see any way that I can change the pressure settings on the Dream Station 2.

If you need to change the pressure settings, I can help, just shoot me a message.

Guy hi
I have 2 DS2s. I used one. I did not fully understand. My father is using it now. i am also using s9. I follow my data comfortably on S9. 2. I did not open the DS2 package. If I can follow with Oscar, I will either open the package or sell the DS2 and wait for AS11.
I need DS2 support from Oscar to make a healthy decision.
1- When is Oscar available for DS2 presumably?
2- What can we do to speed up the process and how can we help?
RE: Cautionary tale Dream Station 2 - GuyScharf - 05-24-2021
1. We're working on DS2 support, but I cannot give you an estimate on how long it will be before OSCAR supports the DS2. Philips has encoded or encrypted in a form that we have not yet figured out.
2. Sample data (zipped SD cards) from more machines would be helpful. A cryptoanalyst might be helpful!
If I had your choice to make and using OSCAR was a prime consideration, I would return the DS2 and get a ResMed Airsense 10.
We have not seen data from an AirSense 11 yet and don't know what difficulties we might encounter in supporting that machine on OSCAR or how long it might take to work through any problems. So if you get an 11, you might end up with a machine that OSCAR does not support immediately.

I understand. Thank you for your attention.
If I know that AS11's algorithm and sensors are better than DS2, I would get A11 and I think it would be okay for OSCAR to support A11 late. That's why I wanted to know a little bit about DS2.
I will ask my computer engineer friends about the crypto business, maybe they can help or refer to a cryptoanalyst.
Can we open a fixed topic under important issues in the software section of the forum for sample compressed sd cards?
RE: Cautionary tale Dream Station 2 - Gideon - 05-24-2021
In a word no. We cannot render the data on the DS2 non traceable so no way no how. And it is against our policy, out of an abundance of caution to make that info public anyway. SD data is strictly reserved for the OSCAR team.
If someone want to join and help us PM me.

What I meant was this:
I'll fix a topic on the important threads of the software section of the forum. for example a titled topic like this:
Oscar Data (Sdcardzip) Support for Dreamstation 2
Get the topic closed. Just get the description and dropbox link in it.
Oscar developers are already telling this meaning to DS2 owners they see. We'll be collecting what they do normally under the topic just to get attention and speed.
RE: Cautionary tale Dream Station 2 - Gideon - 05-24-2021
A how to post, or a wiki article. That we could do.

You are the master. You know better. I just imagined it as a conspicuous topic under the software section and I thought DS2 owners could easily see and support

You could just hand your machine back to him, and tell him you'd like to cancel your rental.
I've done that. Easy peasy. It's a great way to be DONE with a crappy DME, and to not be stuck with a machine you don't want.
