Sleep and activity data can drive useful automations: lights after you wake, a thermostat setback when you fall asleep. But integration quality varies a lot.
Official integrations (best)
Maintained in Home Assistant core and reviewed with every release:
- Withings: watches, scales, sleep analyzers.
- Fitbit: uses the Fitbit Web API, which shuts down Oct 30, 2026. Check its status before relying on it.
- Dexcom: CGM readings via Dexcom Share. Treat it as informational only, never for treatment decisions.
Community integrations (HACS)
Installed through HACS. They can be excellent, but they’re maintained by volunteers and often use unofficial APIs that can break:
- Oura: community integration using the official Oura API.
- Garmin Connect: community integration.
- Eight Sleep: community integration.
Pin versions and read release notes before updating, the same approach as SafeToUpdate.
Your phone as the bridge
The Home Assistant Companion App exposes phone sensors (steps, activity, sleep confidence on some platforms) to Home Assistant. It’s a simple fallback when there’s no direct integration.
Privacy tip
Health data in Home Assistant ends up in your recorder database and backups. Exclude sensitive entities from long-term history if you share dashboards or backups.
