Oximeter - Sleep as Android

Hi Den
Just received my go2sleep. I also use the sleep phaser smart light, which helps SAA track movement. When the sleep phaser is enabled in SAA, go2sleep data doesn’t get captured. Disconnecting Sleep Phaser enables the go2sleep data. Is this a fixable bug or as mentioned previously, does go2sleep disable other movement tracking? Can the go2sleep add-on just capture heart rate and spo2, without impacting on other tracking methods?

Further to this, how does go2sleep provide hr and spo2 data? Is it a simple Bluetooth LE stream or is it somehow more complicated? If it can be streamed via BLE (as the Stresslocator product does), perhaps SAA can capture it natively via the Bluetooth smart function? Any thoughts on this?

Hi, this is SAA limitations as I understand. Go2Sleep use simple BLE protocol for HR and SpO2.
If SAA developers implement sleep tracking information (HR, acceleration, SpO2 etc) aggregation, you will use sleep phaser + go2Sleep + xiaomi mi band + whatever devices to collect the most accurate and complete information about your sleep.
I understand that this requires some work from SAA developers, but I hope SAA team will present this feature or at least comment on this.

Hello Michael,

it is exactly as Den says… many thanks… at the moment we only support multiple devices if the HR device uses the standard BTLE HR service, we have the feature to support multiple devices for sleep tracking on the todo list, but it is a big rewrite in SAA, setup is quite demanding in user end so we are still consider if and how to best approach this…

Totally understand and thanks Petr for the reply as well. When I connect to a few other BLE HR devices using nRF connect, I can see the HR service. But I don’t see this with go2sleep. Is there a document on how go2sleep publishes HR and spo2 values? It’s a shame we can’t convert BLE data on the fly and still make it look like BLE data to other apps.

Thanks Petr for the feedback! Is it possible for SAA to provide a special hook/API for HR and Spo2 data only? So if anyone wants to publish HR/SPO2 data, SAA could use it much like it does with Bluetooth smart (but outside of the more complex smartwatch integration feature)? I guess this is the type of thing you are considering?

Hi guys… So what is the recommended setup at the moment if we want to use SaA for tracking all three key metrics (heart rate SpO2 and motion)? Can the Stess Locator from Happy Electronics be used for SpO2 and heart rate simultaneously with Sleep Phaser for measuring motion?

Last night I wore my watch (Wear OS) and Go2sleep at the same time, but then of course a decision needs to be made… Connect SaA to the watch (no SpO2 data goes into SaA) or connect SaA to Go2sleep (no motion data goes into SaA).

All I would like is the SpO² and nothing else. I have a really good armband HR monitor w/HRV and a variety of other features. One of them not being SpO². It would be good if the main app allowed you to choose which metric is to be used by which device. A finger-only device sounds excellent for oxygen saturation. (Especially when people are a bit jittery about their oxygen due to a nasty little bug . . .) I generally am 95< and am curious how I do during sleep. I wonder if any of these devices work for fitness activities during the day? That would be a helpful guide to tell you if you’re doing enough but not too much. I am intrigued by your ring. Thank you for your work!

P.S. – I wouldn’t wish it to vibrate as I am sleeping very lightly recently. I’m basically stressed and am grateful for any sleep I can get. I turned off all vibrations emanating from my watch(es), which then allowed me to be pleasantly awakened by just room light (Hue) and really wonderful Alpha Waves sound. So vibration in mid-sleep would not be good. I have sometimes 15 awakenings in a single sleep session.

It’s always better when you can control the device fully.

Thanks again!

The Ticwatch Pro 3 was just released, it has an O2 sensor - will there be support for that sensor?

I already measured 2 nights with my ticwatch 3 pro :)…graph_detail_20201007_23.03

The feature is experimental… but is already released in yesterdays BETA…

If I do not tighten up the band enough I have quite a lot of periods without data, but last measurement (on the image) it was tighten properly…

Den,
I read you post and would like to get information from you on what would be needed to become a tester for your sensor. I would also ask that you reach out to me with any info on the availability on the Beta Tester Program as well if possible.

Thank you in advance,
Brian

It is already released on Google Play

Any more feedback on the Ticwatch Pro 3?, will it measure HR, Oxygen, movement, etc to effectively use it to diagnose sleep apnea?

Hi,
I saw that the honor Band 5 has a SpO2 Monitor. Could this be an inexpensive alternative for pulse and O2 measurement with SaA?
Is it or will it be supported?

Hello Evox, sorry about that but Honor bands do not have any APIs which would allow us to integrate them. We are now working on SPO2 on some Wear OS devices and potentially Garmin…

Any input on if support will be coming to galaxy wearables? I am currently using a galaxy watch active 2. Any information is greatly appreciated! Also available to test if it would be helpful. Thank you for all your hard work!

Hello, maybe @jiri-urbandroid can comment on Galaxy watch?

Yes, unfortunately as far as I know Samsung hasn’t published the API for the SpO2 sensor so we cannot read data from it. However I believe it’s just a matter of time when they add it…

Thank you for this! I just bought tickwatch pro 3 and it’s already working with your app. Can you explain to me how often it measures spo2? Built-in app can do it only every hour 24 hours. Can your app get around it and measure sp02 more frequently during sleep?

I bought mi band, and after bought go2sleep.
I want to get movement by mi band, other go2sleep ring(SpO2, HR).
Can I do this? How to do it? Please tell.

Sorry, simple English.

Hi, I have a amazfit band 5 with spO2 sensor. I’m using it with Sleep as Android through the Notify & Fitness app. I’d like to know if there’s any way or plan to use this band as oximeter on SAA. According to N&F, they plan to add the spO2 support soon.
