Thought I should avoid opening a new topic for this...
My family has now gone all-in with the Withings technology...except for their watches because we have apple watches. We now have a withings smart body analyzer, both the old and new blood pressure monitors (BPM and BPM Connect), and the Withings Thermo temporal thermometer. Today our Withings Sleep Trackers arrived. Until we got the sleep trackers, it never occurred to me to want to integrate some of this with Indigo (maybe via IFTTT), and I’m more than happy how all of this integrates with Apple’s Health app.
With the Covid19 epidemic in full swing, we closely monitor our health daily and use the contact-free thermo multiple times a day. All this health info funnels into the Apple Health app and also uploads directly to our primary care physicians.
We have watched the news reports which are beginning to indicate that nearly 100% of those who have died from Covid19 are either diabetic or pre-diabetic, which occurs more in older adults....worrisome but useful information. The Withings sleep trackers integrate with IFTTT to control functions in the home when we go to bed and when we get up. Therefore the act of simply getting into or out of bed can trigger devices like heat blankets, humidifiers, CPAP technology, lighting, and other... and the home could even be programmed to set the security features...interactively.
I’m not sure how to utilize the thermo or the scale with home automation...unless I wanted to auto-lock the fridge whenever BMI rises above 30.... or lock the doors for 2-weeks in case somebody’s temperature hits 101F. Doable but probably not smart.
Any creative ideas out there? Is IFTTT easy to use with Indigo?
I probably need to get out more...oh wait.
