How well does the automated bits work? I've considered a pump in the past for that reason, but was always afraid what mistakes could happen.

If you want to get even better system using AndroidAPS, get the DanaRS pump, which is the only manufacturer allowing unofficial use.
Before you must do some reading and understand the concepts. OpenAPS and AndroidAPS are state of the art systems and you can do even better than the basal setup using the oref1 SMB algorithm. I know countless of diabetics using it and we all have much better and easier control in our therapy.

Pretty well. You actually have to recalibrate it with traditional blood readings at least twice a day (and when it sees extremes) or it goes out of auto mode, and when it hits certain boundaries, it also turns off auto mode. It's worked great, and in a few months, I went from an A1C around 12 to around 7-8.
