Easiest solution to connect an open source ECG monitor to Home Assistant?

Last Updated on January 10, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

How to Electronics for India uses an AD8232 ECG monitor & ESP32. AD8232 ECG is the same sensor Scott Harden used in his sound card ECG. ESP32 can easily be connected to Home Assistant:

  • He interfaced the ECG monitore to an Arduino in a previous video.
  • He uploads to HRM sensor data to the Ubidots cloud.
  • He shows the layout which connectors have to connected from the AD8232 ECG Sensor to the ESP32 module.
  • He has a single lead ECG device and places three different leads on the chest of a friend.
  • He shows graphs in Ubidots cloud.
  • The connection interface to the Ubidots cloud is modern and reminds us to the connection of the Apple health auto export app.
  • These platform are much newer than the platform for OpenBCI and Muse headband, which do not offer these features.
  • Ubidots reminds us to Home Assistant and Garmin Connect if we look at the graphs.
  • We did not observe any new developments in OpenBCI using instructions like this one in recent years
  • We did not observe any new developments in Bitalino using instructions like this one in recent years
  • We do not understand why people with the skills of RobShala and How to Electronics from India still use platforms like Muse headband and OpenBCI and do not use these modern platforms, which offer much more features.
  • If we compare an UbiDots online graph to the OpenBCI GUI graphs, we do not understand why people do not change to these modern platforms.
  • Please subscribe to the channel of How to Electronic from India. He needs our support to make his channel grow. We will not delete any YouTube videos from How to Electronics from India since they are great.

We do not understand why nobody created yet a simple platform for physiological sensors using sensors as this one and Home Assistant.
