There's also Loop on the iOS side: https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop. I've been using it for 7 or 8 years. There's also several pumps that have closed loop capabilities built-in, but I've found that they try so hard to play it safe that they are less capable than running your own.

Agreed. My daughter (5) is using a G6 + TSlim X2 closed loop. The target blood glucose is 6.0 mmol/L and you can't decrease it. However, I haven't tried (and likely won't try) anything DIY since it's my daughter and not myself.

Despite this, it is nice whilst my daughter is at school, since some automated corrections (even if overly conservative) are certainly better than none — teachers generally won't administer corrections (but will bolus for food).
