Lightweight C++ microservice for CPAP data collection with built-in web dashboard, PDF reports, and Home Assistant integration.
HMS-CPAP is a hobbyist data viewer. It is not a medical device, it is not cleared or approved by any regulator, and it cannot diagnose anything or tell you whether your therapy is working. It is not a monitoring or alarm system.
Never change your therapy settings based on this software. Talk to the clinician who manages your therapy. The numbers here can be wrong: the parsers read undocumented, reverse-engineered formats, and data collection can fail silently.
Read DISCLAIMER.md before using this. By using it you accept the Terms of Use.
This project is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ResMed, Philips, Löwenstein, SleepHQ, or any other company named here. See NOTICE.
Automatically extracts sleep therapy data from ResMed and Lowenstein Prisma CPAP machines, parses EDF/WMEDF files with its own signal-analysis engine, and publishes 47+ metrics to Home Assistant via MQTT discovery. Includes a full Angular web UI with detailed waveform charting, PDF report generation, O2Ring pulse oximetry, automatic SleepHQ export, LLM-powered session summaries, and ML intelligence. Supports two data sources: ezShare WiFi SD with bridge, or local filesystem.
Dashboard -- Key metrics, AI session summary, therapy insights, STR daily indices, sleep events, pressure gauges, respiratory metrics, ML intelligence, and 30-day trend charts.
Sessions -- Nightly session list with O2Ring SpO2/HR, event breakdown, and live session indicator.
Session Detail -- Per-session metrics with O2Ring SpO2/HR overlay, 13 zoomable signal charts, event markers, and doughnut event distribution.
PDF Reports -- Generate multi-night therapy reports with date range picker. Download as PDF for sharing with your doctor.
Settings -- Configure data source, O2Ring oximetry, SleepHQ sync, database, MQTT, LLM summaries, ML training, and device identity. Hot-reload without restart.
Upload -- Bring data in by hand from any browser -- no shared network or WiFi SD required. Drop a CPAP .zip (ResMed or Lowenstein) and it merges into the archive and reparses; drop a Wellue O2 Ring .csv export and it parses server-side into an oximetry session. The O2 Ring path is a simple, OSCAR-free way to actually view your pulse-oximetry data.
| Manufacturer | Models | Live Sessions | Data Import |
|---|---|---|---|
| ResMed | AirSense 10, AirSense 11 | Yes -- EDF files grow during therapy, real-time charts with 65s refresh | Yes |
| Lowenstein | Prisma Line (20A, 20C, 25S, 25ST), Prisma Smart (Max, Plus, Soft) | No -- files written post-session | Yes |
All data sources (ezShare WiFi SD, local filesystem) work with both manufacturers -- the WiFi SD adapter sits in the machine's SD card slot regardless of brand.
ResMed EDF files grow incrementally during therapy, enabling live session monitoring with pulsing LIVE badge and auto-refreshing charts.
Lowenstein Prisma files are written atomically after each mask-on/mask-off cycle. Prisma Line machines write therapy.pdat (ZIP archive) to SD card. Prisma Smart machines write raw directory trees. Both formats are auto-detected. Full session parsing includes WMEDF signals, XML events, AHI/event metrics, and breathing summaries.

.zipor a Wellue O2 Ring.csvfrom any browser, no shared network needed. CPAP zips merge into the archive and reparse; O2 Ring CSVs (both Wellue export dialects, auto-detected sample interval) become oximetry sessions -- an OSCAR-free way to view your O2 ring data. See docs/UPLOAD.md - Equipment & Supply Reminders - Track machine and accessories per profile, with wear computed from your in-use dates. Publishes days-left and wear sensors to Home Assistant plus a due/overdue event so an automation fires once per crossing. Optional CpapDash cloud sync. See Equipment & Supplies
- SleepHQ Auto-Export - Automatically forward each completed night's raw data to SleepHQ via their public API, toggleable on session complete and on local import, plus a manual per-night "Upload to SleepHQ" button
- Multi-Database - PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, or SQLite (auto-created on first run)
- Signal Charts - Per-minute resolution with event markers and oximetry overlay
- Live Sessions - Pulsing LIVE badge, 65s auto-refresh, growing charts during therapy
- ML Intelligence - AHI prediction, compliance forecasting, mask fit risk, anomaly detection

# 1. Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/hms-homelab/hms-cpap.git
cd hms-cpap
mkdir build && cd build
cmake .. && make -j$(nproc)
# 2. Configure
cp ../.env.example ../.env
nano ../.env # Set MQTT, DB, and source settings
# 3. Run (choose your data source)
CPAP_SOURCE=ezshare ./hms_cpap # ezShare WiFi SD via bridge (recommended)
CPAP_SOURCE=local ./hms_cpap # Local filesystem (ResMed DATALOG)
CPAP_SOURCE=lowenstein ./hms_cpap # Lowenstein Prisma (local dir or WiFi SD)
# 4. Open the dashboard
# http://localhost:8893One wireless hardware path plus a local filesystem option. Both work with ResMed and Lowenstein machines -- the WiFi SD adapter sits in any standard SD card slot:
How it works: The ezShare creates its own WiFi AP, which means it can't talk to your home network directly. You'll need a bridge to bring it onto your network. A convenient dual-WiFi bridge is provided by hms-mm -- one radio connects to the ezShare, the other to your home WiFi, and it serves the files over HTTP. HMS-CPAP polls the bridge every 65s.
Hardware (optional): ezShare WiFi SD adapter + a bridge device running hms-mm firmware.
How it works: Reads EDF files directly from a local directory (USB drive, NAS share, or mounted storage).
Use case: Offline analysis, importing historical data, or running without WiFi SD hardware.
Setup:
-
Copy your ResMed SD card's
DATALOGfolder to a local path (or mount the SD card directly):# Example: mount SD card sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/cpap-sd # Or copy to NAS/local disk cp -r /mnt/cpap-sd/DATALOG /mnt/archive/cpap/DATALOG
-
Configure hms-cpap to use local mode:
CPAP_SOURCE=local CPAP_LOCAL_DIR=/mnt/archive/cpap/DATALOG
Or via
~/.hms-cpap/config.json:{ "source": "local", "local_dir": "/mnt/archive/cpap/DATALOG" } -
Start hms-cpap. It will poll the directory each burst interval for new sessions.
-
Import existing history: Open Settings in the web UI, expand "Import History", and click Import History. The start/end dates auto-populate from your DATALOG folder. This parses all EDF files and saves them to the database. See also the CLI Reference for command-line alternatives.
Expected directory structure:
DATALOG/
20250815/
23243570851_BRP.edf # Breathing pattern
23243570851_PLD.edf # Pressure/leak data
23243570851_EVE.edf # Events (apneas, hypopneas)
23243570851_SAD.edf # SpO2/heart rate (if oximeter)
23243570851_CSL.edf # Clinical summary
20250816/
...
STR.edf # Daily therapy summaries
Both data source paths above (ezShare, local) work with Lowenstein machines. Set CPAP_SOURCE=lowenstein and point CPAP_LOCAL_DIR at the SD card contents or a copy. HMS-CPAP auto-detects both Prisma formats:
Prisma Smart writes a raw directory tree:
therapy/
events/
20260514/
event_000370.xml # Respiratory events (apneas, hypopneas)
20260515/
event_000380.xml
signals/
20260514/
signal_000370.wmedf # Therapy signals (pressure, flow, SpO2)
20260515/
signal_000380.wmedf
Prisma SMART max (newer firmware, e.g. 3.17) writes a combined tree, with events and signals together under a per-night session folder and 3-digit sequence numbers:
0040181394/ # device serial
20260607/
0000/ # session index
event_000.xml
signal_000.wmedf
trendCurves.tc
20260620/
0001/
event_003.xml
signal_003.wmedf
Point local_dir at either the SD root (containing the serial folder) or the
serial folder itself; HMS-CPAP detects this layout automatically.
Prisma Line writes ZIP archives:
therapy.pdat # ZIP containing the directory tree above
config.pcfg # ZIP containing device.xml and configuration
Configuration example:
{
"source": "lowenstein",
"local_dir": "/mnt/archive/prisma",
"device_name": "Lowenstein Prisma 20A"
}All configuration via environment variables (12-factor app). See .env.example for complete reference.

Re-parse therapy sessions from a local DATALOG archive for a date range. Deletes existing DB records for those dates and re-imports from the EDF files.
# Reparse a date range
hms_cpap --reparse /path/to/DATALOG 2025-08-15 2025-09-15
# Reparse a single day
hms_cpap --reparse /path/to/DATALOG 2025-08-15This is the CLI equivalent of the "Import History" button in the web UI Settings page.
Parse a ResMed STR.edf file and upsert all daily therapy summaries into the database. This populates the cpap_daily_summary table with AHI, usage hours, leak rates, and other per-day metrics.

ghcr.io/hms-homelab/hms-cpap:latestTwo deployment scripts are provided for running hms-cpap on a Raspberry Pi. Both read PI_HOST and PI_PASSWORD from environment variables or your .env file -- no hardcoded IPs or passwords.
Setup: Add your Pi credentials to .env:
# In .env
PI_HOST=user@192.168.1.50
PI_PASSWORD=your_passwordOr pass them inline:
PI_HOST=user@192.168.1.50 PI_PASSWORD=mypass ./deploy_to_pi.shIf either variable is missing, the script exits with a clear error message telling you what to set.
Cross-compile deploy (build on your machine, deploy ARM binary to Pi):
./deploy_to_pi.shBuilds the Angular frontend, cross-compiles the C++ backend for ARM, copies the binary and static files to the Pi, and restarts the service.
Native build deploy (push code to Pi, build on Pi):
./deploy_to_pi_native.shPushes via git, builds natively on the Pi (slower but avoids cross-compilation issues), deploys, and restarts. Use this if cross-compiled binaries have issues on your Pi model.

# Open http://localhost:8893Track what you actually run and get told when a part is due, without a spreadsheet.
A profile is one named setup: exactly one machine plus its accessories. Most people need a single profile. A second is useful when you genuinely run two rigs -- a home AirSense and a travel AirMini, say -- and want their wear tracked apart.
Each item records what it is (from a type catalog), optionally brand and model, the date you started using it, and how often it should be replaced. Leave the interval blank to inherit the type's default; set it to override.
Nothing runs a nightly job to decrement a counter. Days-left and wear percent are derived from your in-use date and the interval every time they are read, so a value can never drift, go stale, or need repairing after downtime. Change the date and every number updates instantly.
An item is untracked if it has no in-use date, or no interval -- machines included. Untracked items are skipped rather than reported as 0% worn, because a sensor pinned at zero forever is worse than no sensor.
States: fresh, due_soon (inside 14 days), overdue.
Published on the normal collection cycle, under your existing CPAP device -- no extra scheduler, no new integration to install.
Retained sensors (state -- what IS true):
cpap/<device_id>/supplies/<profile>_<type>/days_left
cpap/<device_id>/supplies/<profile>_<type>/wear_percent
cpap/<device_id>/supplies/due # ON if anything is due
Events (what just CHANGED) -- not retained, one message per crossing:
cpap/<device_id>/supplies/event
{"entity":"home_mask","profile":"Home","type":"mask",
"from":"fresh","state":"overdue","days_left":-3,"replace_by":"2026-07-16"}
Retained state cannot say "this just went overdue" -- the value looks identical
on the cycle it crossed and every cycle after -- so an automation built on state
alone either fires once and misses later items, or re-fires on every cycle. The
event topic exists for exactly that, and it fires on the crossing back to fresh
too so an automation can clear whatever it raised. Crossings are remembered
across restarts, so a restart does not re-announce anything.
automation:
- alias: CPAP supply due
trigger:
platform: mqtt
topic: cpap/cpap_resmed_12345/supplies/event
condition: "{{ trigger.payload_json.state in ['due_soon', 'overdue'] }}"
action:
service: notify.mobile_app_phone
data:
message: >-
{{ trigger.payload_json.type }} is
{{ trigger.payload_json.state | replace('_', ' ') }}Equipment can mirror to CpapDash so the same profiles appear in the app. Off by default, opt-in with a pasted token, and local stays the source of truth -- an unreachable cloud degrades to local-only with no data loss. Only equipment data syncs; therapy and session data never leave. See PRIVACY.md.

Most solutions require cloud services, proprietary apps, or manual SD card removal. HMS-CPAP provides:
- 100% local, no cloud
- Automatic collection via WiFi
- Built-in web dashboard with full signal charting
- Open-source parsing & analysis algorithms
- Home Assistant integration
- ML-ready database storage
Currently supports ResMed AirSense 10/11 (real-time + import) and Lowenstein Prisma (import). ResMed has full real-time live session support via WiFi SD adapters. Lowenstein Prisma supports SD card data import with full session parsing, event detection, and breathing signal analysis.
All data stays local:
- No cloud services
- No external API calls
- Your network only
Yes. HMS-CPAP reads the same SD-card files independently, so you can run both simultaneously and cross-validate metrics.
