Life Dashboard Companion
Health Connect and screen time to Home Assistant, MQTT or webhooks. No cloud.
New in version 1.28.0

- Every webhook address has its own signing secret and headers, so pairing one receiver no longer breaks another.
- Backfill reaches back to all your history: 30 days up to 5 years, or everything from your oldest record.
- A card says when battery optimization holds syncs back, with a one-tap fix.

- A delivered payload is never sent twice when its log cannot be written.

Send Health Connect and screen time from your Android phone to Home Assistant, MQTT or your own server. No cloud in between, no account, no analytics or tracking SDKs.
Pair with Home Assistant by scanning one QR code, and get 33 Health Connect types and up to a year of history.
Works with any app that writes to Health Connect, such as Samsung Health, Google Health (Fitbit and Pixel Watch), Garmin Connect, Oura, Withings and Gadgetbridge.
Your data goes only to the addresses you enter: your Home Assistant, your MQTT broker or your own webhook. The app contacts no other server.
Home Assistant:
- The Life Dashboard integration, installed through HACS. Scan the QR code it shows and you're paired, with no broker and no YAML. Every synced day lands in Home Assistant's long-term statistics on its own date, so a backfill becomes a year of history.
- Receive, with the integration: a scale or blood pressure monitor connected to Home Assistant sends its readings to the app, which writes them into Health Connect (weight, height, body composition, blood pressure). Samsung Health and Google Health can show the weight and body fat from there. You switch it on per type.
- MQTT Discovery, for a setup that already runs a broker: 24 of the 33 types plus screen time as sensors under one device, with optional TLS and login.
Health Connect:
- 33 types: steps, sleep with stages, heart rate, HRV, blood pressure, blood glucose, VO2 max, skin temperature, cycle tracking and more.
- Every record carries its source app and a stable ID, so a duplicate is easy to drop. Daily totals come from Health Connect itself, so a walk recorded by both phone and watch counts once.
- Each sync sends only what changed since the last one, per data type, edits and deletions included. When a change can't be sent, the payload says so.
- Optional data resolution: send dense series such as heart rate as one summary per 1, 5, 15 or 60 minutes.
- Backfill of up to a year runs in the background and picks up where it left off.
Screen time:
- Time per app, with a day boundary you choose.
- Send every app, every app except the ones you select, or only the ones you select. An app left out never leaves the phone, though the day's total still counts its time.
Webhooks:
- A webhook of your own gets every record in full, including single meals, cycle tracking entries and workout details, which are events rather than sensor values.
- Several URLs, custom headers, optional HMAC-SHA256 signing so your server can verify the sender, and client certificates (mTLS) for a server behind a reverse proxy.
- Automatic retries, plus an outbox that keeps undelivered syncs (a week of them at the 15-minute interval) until your server is back.
- A delivery log in the app, with the payload of each sync.
Automation:
- Syncs on its own at an interval of 15 minutes or longer, or at fixed times, on the days you pick, with quiet hours.
- Home screen widget and Quick Settings tile.
- An intent that Tasker and MacroDroid can use to start a sync.
- A notification when syncs fail several times in a row (you pick 3, 5 or 10).
Also: settings backup and restore (encrypted when secrets are included), in English, Dutch and German.
GitHub releases are built by public CI and carry verifiable build provenance, and the build is reproducible, so F-Droid ships the same signed APK.
Optionally, the separate self-hosted Life Dashboard Stack stores your data in Postgres with Grafana dashboards, and its MCP server lets an AI model that you run yourself read your history. The app itself contains no AI.
Health data needs Android 9 or newer with Health Connect, which is built into Android 14 and later and is a free app from Google Play on Android 9 through 13. Screen time works on Android 8.0 and newer.
