Why Track It

Why it matters

Resting heart rate drops as cardiovascular fitness improves. It also spikes when you are sick or overtrained — tracking it catches both.

Automations

What you can do with Resting Heart Rate data.

HC Webhook sends resting heart rate readings to any webhook — here are ideas to get you started.

Resting HR Trend Chart

Log daily resting HR to InfluxDB and chart it over months to see fitness improvements.

Spike Alert

Send a notification when resting HR is more than 5 bpm above your 7-day average — a sign of illness or overtraining.

Monthly Fitness Progress

Email yourself a monthly summary showing how your resting HR has changed since you started training.

Recovery Score Input

Combine resting HR with HRV to calculate a daily recovery score in n8n and log it to Notion.

Home Assistant Morning Briefing

Include today's resting HR in a morning dashboard summary alongside sleep and HRV.

Training Load Balance

When resting HR is elevated, trigger a Home Assistant reminder to take a lighter training day.
