Google Fit Support

The gist should work as a custom component, but you’ll need to edit some of the values to make it work for you. Specifically, you’ll need to edit the client_id and secret. These values you’ll get by setting up an app and making sure the fit api is enabled. You should be able to use the https://home-assistant.io/components/calendar.google/ instructions as a guide

edit: I just edited the gist to add a fix that could be causing some warnings in the logs

Hi @wardcraigj are you planning on making this an official component?

wardcraigj · April 12, 2018, 2:29am

I don’t have any immediate plans to. I’ve noticed it’s not super consistent in pulling steps, so that would require some work, also all the client logic would need to get pulled out and implemented in it’s own library that gets pulled in as a requirement in order for the component to be accepted. I don’t have any really useful automations that use it in my set-up, so I don’t really want to commit to maintaining and supporting it, but if someone wants to build it out, I’d be happy to offer any sort of assistance that I can

Thanks Craig. That makes sense.

I was trying to achieve something similar. Mainly focused on weight, but happy to see if it can be extended for other attributes.

This is my custom_compoments/sensor/google_fit.py:

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/nitobuendia/23f5dfb6cf443405641f753373785e9a

google_fit.py

"""Creates a Google Fit sensors.

At the moment, provides two measurements:
  - weight: in KG.
  - last_updated: entry of the current weight point.

Sensor is designed to be flexible and allow customization to add new Google Fit
dimensions with minimal effort with relative knowledge of Python and Fitness
Rest API.

test.py

"""Google Fit API playground.

This code should not be uploaded to your Hassio instance.
It is design to allow testing data retrieval by making direct API calls.
Make sure to add your client_id and client_secret before testing.
"""

import os

import datetime

This file has been truncated. show original

While it is focused on weight, it could be updated to other type of data by changing:
API_SCOPE = ‘https://www.googleapis.com/auth/fitness.body.read’
and
weight_datasources = self._get_datasources(‘com.google.weight’)
(as well as selecting the right attributes afterwards)

I hope it is useful.
If someone wants to partner to extend this and integrate it natively, happy to do so.

Cheers,
Nito

Thanks @nitobuendia I was able to get Steps, move time, distance and weight with modifications in your script.
Here is my version of the custom_component

maurizio53 · December 23, 2018, 12:50pm

You mean i can use the same client_id and client_secret i use woth google calendar or must i create another ones for Google Fit?

jimpower · December 29, 2018, 8:54pm

Is this component still in use? I added and was prompted to enter my code but sensors are not added.

hemantkamalakar · January 5, 2019, 11:26am

Yes. You have to create client_id and client_secret for Google Fit.

jimpower · January 5, 2019, 11:34am

I have managed to get authentication and sensors are added but they always state unknown.

hemantkamalakar · January 5, 2019, 11:35am

Yes. In fact I have added more sensors now. Now it supports
- steps
- distance
- time
- calories
- weight
- height

jimpower · January 5, 2019, 11:38am

You know what it is now populating lol what is the poll time for these sensors I swear it been up for a few days and even this morning they were still unknown state.

Is it possible to get the latest version of your component?

hemantkamalakar · January 5, 2019, 11:42am

I have just pushed the updates to my Github repo.
https://github.com/hemantkamalakar/haconfigs/blob/master/custom_components/sensor/google_fit.py

This is how i defined the configuraations for the component.

platform: google_fit
client_id: !secret google_client_id
client_secret: !secret google_client_secret
scan_interval: 30

jimpower · January 5, 2019, 11:47am

thank you very much for this, was at it for a bit last night glad to have it up and running.

maurizio53 · January 5, 2019, 3:25pm

It seems doesn’t work anymore after the 0.85.6 update. Is still working for you with this release?

Bob_NL · January 5, 2019, 3:53pm

@hemantkamalakar thanks for sharing the component.

I’m using the latest update but only have the folowing sensors:

weight
height
distance
time

How to get steps and calories?

Abeksis · January 5, 2019, 4:29pm

Can this be adapted to the iPhone? Or there is another way to show steps from an iPhone device

jimpower · January 6, 2019, 11:41pm

Ok so this is what I have so far thanks again @hemantkamalakar

@maurizio53 This component is working for me on 0.84.6 is this what you mean or are you running a beta release? If so you can’t surely expect support running on beta.

hemantkamalakar · January 7, 2019, 3:15am

Thanks a lot @jimpower. Had a look at your github repo. You have a great home assistant setup.

jimpower · January 7, 2019, 5:15am

I have my sleep being synced with google fit also do you think you could help me to get this sensor also? I had a look at the google api and there is a call for sleep data but I can’t seem to find it at the moment.
