Gadgetbridge data dashboard

Hey all. Unemployed and looking for something fun/interesting to work on lol

I use gadgetbridge to connect to a smart ring to track some basic health data, and while having everything on the phone is OK, I much prefer doing/viewing things from my PC. I thought maybe having some kind of self hosted dashboard/site displaying data gathered by gadgetbridge could be cool, but what do you guys think? Anything more interesting that could be done with the database that it can export on a schedule? I’ve also considered having gadgetbridge as one of several sources, but I’m not sure how many other privacy conscious options are out there.

I’m thinking of just leaving the transferring of the database to other programs, would that be acceptable? I already have gadgetbridge export every 2hrs and use syncthing to get it onto the NAS.

Would appreciate any thoughts, or if you think it’s unnecessary even.

Does gadgetbridge integrate with home assistant?

I would love to see the dashboard there.

I can check it out - don’t actually have a home assistant setup yet but yeah would that be better?

github.com/Progaros/GadgetbridgeMqtt This can be used to broker GB data to different services. As a Home Assistant junkie I’d go this route to visualize the info… (given the time, so many projects!)

So this gets the data to home assistant - does home assistant then handle visualising it in a nice way or how does it work?

Hominine@lemmy.world on 28 Oct 17:02 collapse

Home Assistant has a couple of plugins in the community store (HACS) that can help visualize the data in addition to it’s own native cards. I’m for sure going to tinker with this later but, like the other poster said, it’s a rabbit hole.

Oh cool! Just gonna add that real quick… falls down rabbit hole again

How did you get the database to export?

_hovi_@lemmy.world on 27 Oct 14:20 collapse

In the app, go to settings -> automations -> auto export database

I remember seeing someone mention wanting to set up a grafana dashboard from the data exported from gadget bridge. I’ll see if I can find it

_hovi_@lemmy.world on 27 Oct 14:18 next collapse

Thanks, yeah let me know. Maybe that’s simpler.

ProperlyProperTea@lemmy.ml on 27 Oct 17:51 collapse

I searched and couldn’t come across it again, sorry

Is it this one?

ProperlyProperTea@lemmy.ml on 28 Oct 20:25 collapse

Woah, that looks pretty sweet. No, mine was definitely a lemmy post. I’ll have to look into this one since I actually stopped using my Amazfit band a while back.

I much prefer doing/viewing things from my PC.

Me too, syncthing should work for that. Then you could use the database synced on desktop or home server to display a web dashboard available locally?

_hovi_@lemmy.world on 27 Oct 18:53 collapse

That was the plan yeah

I can tell you that the best one man projects are those that they do first and foremost for themselves, because a/they enjoy it a lot and b/you see a lots of thought behind the project. So thats what i recommend, start by doing what you need and eventually the project will grow and maybe people will join…

_hovi_@lemmy.world on 29 Oct 17:19 collapse

Thanks yeah. I think the coolest place this could go is something that aggregates health related data from different sources, only problem is that gadgetbridge stuff is the only source I personally have. So maybe like other people suggested it’s better off as a home assistant plugin or something like that for now but I’m not sure

I think that we put too many things into home assistant and it’s becoming the everything app. Personally, I prefer some level of separation. Actually having a separate dashboard, self hosted app for just a gadgetbridge would be nice and there is a potential that in the future it can aggregate from more apps than just the gadgetbridge. Just an example, I am currently using Endurain for my workouts. I use open tracks to record them and then I upload them to Endurain. I do this exactly because I want to have stats on the desktop somewhere and I do care more about workouts than any other stats, but if there were also my sleep stats and steps and stuff that would be really nice.

There’s also endurain but it doesn’t support gadget bridge integration yet (gadgetbridge needs to solve it on their end).

Thanks, hadn’t heard of that one before, I’ll check it out
