Import HRV4training data from Dropbox

You can add Dropbox in settings

I’m aware of that, what I can’t find (and I don’t want to buy the app before knowing it) is if there is a possibility within the HRV4Training iOS app to automatically export the daily data to dropbox.

Because if that’s done manually I don’t see the point of using HRV4Training over Kubios or ELITE (where I’d just enter the two to three values manually each day)

It’s not much effort to select “More / Data Export / Upload to Dropbox”, and the data appears in the wellness fields in Intervals. Automated would be nice, the subjective fields are manual too, and really doesn’t take long.

TrainingPeaks is automated, but has also been around a lot longer; and is the mainstream tool for data collection and workouts.

Thanks for the clarification. In this case I’ll go with one of the free apps. Because as you said, the subjective fields are manual inputs anyways. And maybe I can manage to scrape the data from one of the apps webpages and import them via API.

Good luck! There’s more than one way to get data.

Garmin sends that data to an Intervals.icu web hook endpoint. I don’t know how Garmin decides when to send new data.

You can download old wellness data from the Garmin box in /settings. But be careful with that one. Garmin restrict backfill calls heavily. The don’t allow repeat calls for the same dates etc… Garmin sends the data to the webhook endpoint asynchronously making all of this a bit of a pain.

Well that actually sounds good for my “problem”

Because by the time I sync from the Withings API to your API, Garmin already is done syncing, so from your answer it sounds like my manual Withings Sync will just overwrite the Garmin Values and as the Garmin data does not change and I’m not triggering any intentional resync I should be fine?

Yes that should work.

Hi, that doesn’t work for me. I import data from iOS HRV4 Training app and when I import in Intervals.icu, I have an error message about wellness (invalid wellness col (timelapse…)). Thank you for your help.

Please mail that file to david@intervals.icu. The format might have changed. Tx.

Has worked for this morning…

I have the same issue trying to sync data today

[solved] First day to import 1.12.22 and it worked

I occasionally find I have to “export to Dropbox” many times before it uploads. The integration to TP is automatic.

@david brought this up here but would it be possible to have separate fields for Garmin’s nightly HRV (rMSSD) vs HRV4training’s morning HRV measurement? Similarly for the resting HR field

Ideally would like to have measurements from both; currently they randomly override each other, messing up any graphs/trends and the ImReady4 script

I need to find a general solution to this. Likely custom wellness fields mapped to the various objects received from Garmin et al.

It’s ok now. Yes, thanks

I seem to be a bit slow.

  1. How does a user connect the HRV4T app to Dropbox? I only see a Data Export/Upload to Dropbox but no way to actually connect the app to Dropbox.
  2. What recommended methods are people using to lean on Marco to play ball directly with Interals.icu?

On that note, what other methods and apps are people using to collect HRV data (other than whoop or Oura)? I find that Marco makes things overly complex and misses the simple things.

Marco won’t be syncing directly with Intervals any time soon, if ever. See email response from Marco below to my request for integration with Intervals.icu

I use EliteHRV to take my measurements (with a Polar H9). I just pop the data into each of Intervals and HRV4T then.
What simple things do you think Marco misses and how does he make things too complex? Like I said, I don’t record data on his app. I just use it for the analysis. EliteHRV has all the raw data.

What happens when you click on upload to Dropbox?

I’ve been syncing for almost 2 years, with limited problems (occasionally takes more than one press on upload to upload).

Once it’s in Dropbox, you link your Intervals account. The data is in the Apps/HRV4Training folder.

I also manually capture Kubios, from the iPhone app.
