Withings sleep analyzer, Breathings disturbances always double

[manderss99]

The problem

The breathing disturbances are always double the amount that is shown in the withings app. I have seen this before but have specifically followed it the last three days, Example; this morning the app show 15 but the integration show 30. please look into this, I'm happy to help with testing.

Do you still see this? Is it consistently doubled?

[manderss99]

this night the api show 9 and mobile app 4, maybe rounding issue. otherwise for quite a few days I've checked this the api has reported exactly double the amount of diisturbances compared to the app. Never the same value. My CPAP machine always reports quite a bit lower values than the app, but to get the api report the same value as the app would be good.

[manderss99]

want to mention that comparing api with monbile app I also see some discrepanicies with average bpm and wakeup duration, however they are consistent with the withings web application so not likely a problem with the home assistant integration.

[manderss99]

What I find missing though is the datetime of the sleep session reported, now we get the values but not the time which creates problems with presentation, but maybe that should be a separate ticket.

[joostlek]

It's currently fetching the last sleep data and presenting it, so I'm a bit confused why this happens. Curious what your API returns

[manderss99]

so, this is the raw data from withings api then? for now I just display the number in lovelace, this night I got 29 from integration while the app say 14, likely bc of rounding. not sure how useful this is anyway since my cpap reports AHI 3.5. I could give you temporary access to my withings account for debugging, if that would help.

[joostlek]

Yes. I just checked the API docs and its talking about "breathing_disturbances_intensity" instead of "the amount of breathing disurbances". I think the conclusion I am getting is that Withings just isn't enclosing the data we expected.

[joostlek]

Just checked the sensor definition, and we are talking about intensity in the entity description so I think its just a difference in intrepetation

[manderss99]

you mean the api does give some other measurement than what is in the app`? in the app it is presented as breathing disturbances, with 0.-15 good, 15-30 moderate and over 30 severe measured as disturbances per hour, this night the integration give 6 and the app show 3, I've checked this many days and it always seem to be int(integration value / 2) But I guess as long as the integration delivers what withings api provides, its difficult to blame the integration. Not of much use though if its unclear what the value represents.

[joostlek]

I mean, the amount of breathing disturbances doesn't really tell how intense it is and vice versa. The app shows the amount, the API provides the intensity.

Technically I could do something with the fact that the value is half the API value, but we do not know if this behaviour is with all Withings devices. So I don't really want to add it, since it could be strange for someone else in the future.

If you really want the amount of disturbances, feel free to use a template sensor.

Unless there's more to say, I think we found the root of this issue. So I'll be closing this issue.
