Is Polar currently working?

tgh · January 18, 2021, 4:42pm

Hi folks. I am trying to get the Polar fitness tracking integration working (https://github.com/burnnat/ha-polar) - when i follow the readme, I get to the point where i click “configure” (in the Integrations section) to log on to polar.com and accept the data access (i presume) and i get a “Oops something went wrong, let’s try again” (roughly translated) - but apart from that there is no other information on the site (only the standard Polar flow header/footer).
I am thinking that Polar might have changed something (e.g. closed down free access), so before I start digging deeper into the problem, I would just like to know if anybody have it working currently?

ice413 · May 27, 2022, 11:41am

Not possible to add integration in HACS.
When i try to add the repo it say:
“<Integration burnnat/ha-polar> Repository has been requested to be removed”

And when check the repo it’s last updated 2 year ago.
Anyone know how to use this ?

I'm running HA 2021.11.5 and couldn't install this with HACS. It says it's on a …blacklist. Then I manually downloaded the files. After I restarted HA, the logs said the manifest.json was missing the versions attribute. I manually added it and restarted HA again. I added a basic configuration into the configuration.yaml. I registered with Polar as described and used my unique ID and Secret. When I restarted HA to load the config, it came up and said Loading Polar and it wouldn't go away. It blocked other things from loading. I guess this is too old and is incompatible with newer versions of HA. I might take a look at forking it and trying to fix it but that will need to wait until I have a lot more time. I'm not sure even where to start. Would be great to get this working again. Thanks.

“I’m running HA 2021.11.5 and couldn’t install this with HACS”. I wonder with what HA version it was running. I am ready to downgrade for this:

same here, if I try to add the repository there is the following error: Plugin burnnat/ha-polar> Repository has been requested to be removed.

Just to follow up/confirm… I just got it to work with version 1.1.0 of “Polar integration for Home Assistant” (GitHub - Aohzan/hass-polar: Polar integration for Home Assistant).

I have the same problem, after setting the client ID and secret it leads to a “oops something went wrong” website from Polar. I’ve tried changing to version 1.1.0 as suggested but still this “oops” occurs. Any other suggestions?
