Many issues have already been closed regarding this subject. This seems to be a project which is alive:

added 6.2.22

unfortunately, I could not find any evidence that it is also possible to sync activity data to Home Assistant. The access to Garmin Connect is closed source, 3rd party apps would have to pay $5,000 to access the data in Garmin connect. Only some platforms offer synching of acitivity data to their platforms, for instance Trainer Road.

If you don t want to spend $5,000 to access Garmin Connect data

and if you don t use real-time access to data, you can use Data Scientists Max Candocia .fit to .csv Python Scripts:
