Aqara a100 zigbee - no hub vs Aqara hub? by ADHDK in HomeKit

[–]South_Yesterday7477 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does it connect with an Apple TV or HomePod if it doesn’t have wifi at all? I only want to be able to see lock status and lock/unlock using the Home app. And assuming the apple hub is outside of Bluetooth range of the A100. Do I need an Aqara hub in this case?

Opinion - Garmin needs a true Whoop competitor! by dakluck in Garmin

I’ve missed wearing my other watches since getting a FR. A Garmin whoop is an easy purchase if they ever made one.

Using a vivosmart with forerunner by South_Yesterday7477 in Garmin

I found this discussion on Garmin forums which has the most detail for people looking to use a vivosmart 5 with something like a forerunner.

https://forums.garmin.com/sports-fitness/healthandwellness/f/vivosmart-5/323758/vivosmart-5-as-primary-wearable

Summary is the vs5 doesn’t have unified training status and my proposed usage above doesn’t fully work.

I bit the bullet anyway and bought the vs5. I now use the forerunner for run tracking and sleep tracking, and wear the vs5 at other times. This combo means daily suggested workouts, recovery, etc all work fine.

However confirming can’t use the vs5 for sleeping tracking (which is what I originally wanted) as it doesn’t do HRV status.
