Garmin watches are multi sensor devices which starts from around 300 USD

  • We do not know of any demo which demonstrates a solution to export all available data from a Garmin watch into a database where it can be visualized and analyzed by users with the application of their choice.
  • the Android app a Training Tracker of Dr. Ing. Rainer Blind can record sensor data of ANT+ and BLE sensors to a .csv file together with their sensor number.

Apple watches are multi sensor devices which start from around 400 USD

  • Lybron Sobers Apple Health Auto Export app can synchronize Apple Health data to Home Assistant, from where it can be exported to InlfuxDB
  • A tutorial by Udo Berndt on the YouTube channel smart-live.net shows us a demo where he uses Lybron Sobers Apple Health Auto Export app to synchronize about 4 sensors from an Apple Watch to Home Assistant, exports the sensor data to InfluxDB, and visualize it in Grafana.
  • We do not know of any demo which demonstrates an export all available data from an Apple watch into a database where it can be visualized and analysed by users with the application of their choice.

OpenBCI are multiple sensor devices with up to 16 channels which starts from about 230 USD up to about 2000 USD

  • sentdex showed a demo of 16 channels of EEG in Python on his YouTube channel:
  • We do not know of a demo which demonstrates an export all available OpenBCI data to InfluxDB, from where it can be visualized and analysed by users with the application of their choice.
  • The OpenBCI GUI can record all OpenBCI sensor data to .csv

Andreas Spiess, the guy with the Swiss accent shows a demo with a weather station which cost around 100 USD on his YouTube channel:

  • The demo shows a setup of as far as we know around for channels of whether station data which are stored in InfluxDB and visualized in Grafana.
  • The setup is not easy, but Andreas Spiess did it.
  • We asked Andreas Spiess to recode his setup for other sensors, but Andreas Spiess was against it. He wrote us, that he is not a coder. We aren t coders as well.

Adinstruments has their LabChart software which has multi sensor support. g.tec medical and other companies have similar software solutions, ask for a quote for those. We are convinced that Adinstruments, g.tec medical or other companies can solve our problem with multi sensor devices, if our budget allows.
