balenaHealth: heart rate monitor based Polar H10, balena and a Raspberry Pi I

balenaHealth, does it work?

Issue 1 missing example which streams sensor data to Home Assistant:

There is an example with the Apple Watch and Home Assistant:

How to Visualize Apple Health data in Home Assistant: Tutorial by Udo Berndt on the YouTube channel smart-live.net
  • For physiological data analysis it is highly desirable to have all sensor data in one database in snych.
  • Udo Berndt s example streams Apple watch data into Home Assistant and InfluxDB, and visualize sensor data in Grafana
  • BalenaHealth streams Polar H10 data to the balena coud
  • There is also an experimental balena Home assistant Raspberri Pi image available

Issue 1 continued:

  • We miss an example which streams Polar H10 sensor data over balenaHealth to balena Cloud to balena Home Assistant and exports Polar H10 data to InfluxDB in Home Assistant, preferentially into the same InfluxDB as Udo Berndt uses to export Apple watch database

Issue 2:

  • As far as we know, the balenaHealth can be modified for instance to support foot pod data.We miss an example which streams Stryd or Suntoo sensor data over balenaHealth to balena Cloud to balena Home Assistant and exports foot pod data to InfluxDB in Home Assistant, preferentially into the same InfluxDB as Udo Berndt uses to export Apple watch database.
