Garmin Connect

The Garmin Connect integration allows you to expose data from Garmin Connect to Home Assistant.

NOTE: This integration doesn't support 2FA on Garmin Connect yet (support is coming), so if you have enabled it -and want to keep it- this integration doesn't work, it will try to login repeatedly and generate lots of 2FA codes via email. The change of adding support for it is unlikely since the Garmin Connect API is closed source, and will not be open for open-sourced projects.

Tips and Tricks

Set up an automation using the garmin_connect.add_body_composition service

Useful if you want to pass your weight from another (incompatible) device to Garmin Connect. Garmin Connect does not calculate your BMI when you enter your weight manually so it needs to be passed along for now.

alias: uiSendWeightToGarminConnect
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - sensor.my_weight
condition:
  - condition: and
    conditions:
      - condition: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.my_weight
        above: 75
      - condition: numeric_state
        entity_id: sensor.my_weight
        below: 88
action:
  - service: garmin_connect.add_body_composition
    data:
      entity_id: sensor.garmin_connect_weight
      weight: "{{trigger.to_state.state}}"
      timestamp: "{{ as_timestamp(now())  | timestamp_local}}"
      bmi: >-
        {{ (trigger.to_state.state | float(0) / 1.86**2 )| round(1, default=0)
        }}
mode: single
