The Garmin Connect {% term integration %} allows you to expose health and fitness data from Garmin Connect to Home Assistant.

Prerequisites

You need a Garmin Connect account with at least one Garmin device that syncs data to Garmin Connect.

{% include integrations/config_flow.md %}

Sensors

This integration provides 110+ sensors covering various health and fitness metrics. Sensors are grouped into the following categories:

Activity & Steps

  • Total Steps - Daily step count
  • Daily Step Goal - Your configured step target
  • Yesterday Steps/Distance - Previous day's complete totals
  • Weekly Step/Distance Avg - 7-day averages
  • Total Distance - Distance walked/run
  • Floors Ascended/Descended - Floors climbed

Calories

  • Total Calories - Total daily calorie burn
  • Active Calories - Calories burned through activity
  • BMR Calories - Basal metabolic rate calories

Heart Rate

  • Resting Heart Rate - Daily resting HR
  • Min/Max Heart Rate - Daily HR range
  • Last 7 Days Avg HR - Weekly average
  • HRV Weekly Average - 7-day HRV average (ms)
  • HRV Last Night Average - Last night's HRV (ms)
  • HRV Baseline - Personal HRV baseline with range

Stress & Recovery

  • Avg/Max Stress Level - Stress measurements (0-100)
  • Stress Durations - Time in rest/activity/low/medium/high stress

Sleep

  • Sleep Score - Overall sleep quality score
  • Sleep Duration - Time asleep
  • Awake Duration - Time awake during sleep
  • Deep Sleep - Time in deep sleep
  • Light Sleep - Time in light sleep
  • REM Sleep - Time in REM sleep

Body Battery

  • Body Battery - Current energy level (0-100)
  • Charged/Drained - Energy gained/spent

Body Composition

  • Weight - Body weight
  • BMI - Body Mass Index
  • Body Fat/Water - Percentage measurements
  • Muscle/Bone Mass - Mass measurements

Hydration

  • Hydration - Daily water intake
  • Hydration Goal - Target intake
  • Sweat Loss - Estimated fluid loss

Health Monitoring

  • SpO2 - Blood oxygen levels (average, lowest, latest)
  • HRV Status - Heart rate variability
  • Respiration Rate - Breathing measurements

Fitness & Performance

  • Fitness Age - Estimated fitness age
  • Endurance Score - Overall endurance rating

Menstrual Cycle Tracking

  • Cycle Phase - Current menstrual phase
  • Cycle Day - Day of the current cycle
  • Period Day - Day of the period
  • Cycle/Period Length - Cycle and period lengths in days

Note: Menstrual cycle sensors are only available if tracking is enabled in your Garmin Connect account.

Gear Tracking

Gear sensors are dynamically created for each piece of equipment registered in Garmin Connect (shoes, bikes, etc.). They track total distance and usage statistics.

Actions

Add body composition

Set active gear

Set a gear item as the default for an activity type.

Data attribute Required Description
activity_type Yes Activity type (e.g., running, cycling)
setting Yes Setting option (set as default, unset default, set this as default unset others)

Data updates

Data is polled from Garmin Connect every 5 minutes. Due to API rate limits, more frequent polling is not recommended.

MFA Support

If your Garmin account has Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) enabled, you will be prompted to enter your MFA code during setup.

Known limitations

  • Not all sensors will have data depending on your Garmin devices and connected apps.
  • API rate limits may cause temporary unavailability during high-traffic periods.
