Hey everyone! I wanted to share my exciting journey into integrating Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) data into Home Assistant. For those of us managing diabetes, real-time blood sugar monitoring is crucial, and having this data integrated into our smart home setup can be a game-changer.
I stumbled upon this amazing mini-graph-card custom Lovelace card that allows for some pretty nifty graphs to display CGM data. After playing around with it for a while, I managed to set up a system that not only tracks my blood sugar levels but also provides a visual history of my readings over time.
Here’s a quick look at what I’ve done so far:
**Average Per Day Graph:**yamltype: 'custom:mini-graph-card’entities: - entity: sensor.bryan_cgm_sgv name: Avg CGM Value Per Dayaggregate_func: avggroup_by: datehours_to_show: 168show: graph: barlabels: truecolor_thresholds: - color: ‘#039BE5’ value: 60 - color: ‘#0da035’ value: 100 - color: ‘#e0b400’ value: 150 - color: ‘#e45e65’ value: 200
**36-Hour Results Graph:**yamltype: 'custom:mini-graph-card’entities: - sensor.bryan_cgm_sgvname: CGM Graph - 36 Hourshours_to_show: 36points_per_hour: 60show: labels: truecolor_thresholds: - value: 60 color: ‘#c0392b’ - value: 75 color: ‘#08ff2d’ - value: 150 color: ‘#f7ff08’ - value: 200 color: ‘#ff3508’
The results have been fantastic! Not only do I have a clear visual representation of my blood sugar trends, but it’s also helping me make more informed decisions about my diet and medication. The color thresholds are especially helpful for quickly identifying when my levels are outside the desired range.
I’d love to hear from other diabetics out there—how are you utilizing your CGM data in Home Assistant? Have you found any other cool ways to integrate health monitoring into your smart home setup? Let’s share our experiences and tips!
Cheers! - Bryan
