Would love to request an official app for Google Fit or, preferably, Health Connect integration for Homey. Bringing health and fitness data into the Homey ecosystem would unlock powerful automation and monitoring capabilities.
Why Health Connect/Google Fit?
Health Connect is Google’s modern platform designed to unify health and fitness data from various apps on Android, making it the ideal single source for Homey to integrate with. An app would allow us to use this rich, real-time data in Homey Flows.
Example Flow Ideas:
-
Personalized Dashboard Display: Have a smart clock, tablet, or other display show my current steps, active minutes, or activity status throughout the day, providing an immediate snapshot of my health goals.
-
Workout Completion Notifications: Send a text message, push notification, or have a smart speaker announce whenever I finish a training session or complete a daily goal (like hitting 10,000 steps).
-
Advanced Health Monitoring & Logging: Log specific health metrics (like weight, heart rate, or sleep quality) to a file, Google Sheet, or other cloud service via Homey for long-term tracking and custom reporting.
-
Wake-Up Automation: Trigger my custom “Morning” flow (e.g., slowly turn on lights, start the coffee maker, adjust the thermostat) only when Health Connect registers that I have exited a sleep state, making wake-up routines smarter than a fixed alarm time.
-
Activity-Based Climate Control: If Homey detects a high heart rate or core body temperature (recorded during an intense indoor workout), automatically adjust the thermostat or turn on a fan to optimize the environment.
-
Reminders & Motivation: If my step count or active minutes are low by a specific time (e.g., 5 PM), trigger a reminder on a smart display or speaker to encourage me to get moving before the day ends.
This integration would greatly expand Homey’s utility from just controlling the home to helping manage personal well-being.
