I’ve been wearing a Fitbit for over 5 years now to keep track of my activities and heart-rate. While Fitbit’s app is quite alright for daily and weekly overviews it isn’t great to review longer term trends. Also it offers limited fidelity in detailed view. I’ve got some experience using Grafana and InfluxDB and figured I could hook them up to the Fitbit API and play around a bit. Works like a charm!
I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3 as a server. It runs a Python script every hour to download the latest data from the Fitbit API.

Using the standard InfluxDBClient to connect to Influx.
