Smartband 2 Access heart rate variability

Question

So far the Smartband 2 is a great device and one of it's core features is the measurement of the heart rate variability (HRV). As I have already read through all the APIs that the Smartband 2 is posting it's data to, I am still wondering if it is possible to access the heart rate variability directly.

So far it seems that I can only get ALL other data except for the heart rate variablity form the Smartband 2. Am I missing something? Is it maybe possible to calculate the heart rate variability from any of the other values that I can access via the APIs?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Unfortunately there is no API available in SmartBand 2 to retrieve the Heart Rate Variability.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any plans to add this feature to the API? – R. Voigt Oct 28 '15 at 08:40
I can't comment on any road map related questions but I have mentioned it to our team for future consideration. – mldeveloper Oct 28 '15 at 16:40

Both sets of the Google Fit APIs work with three types of data: Public data types, Custom data types, and Shareable data types. SmartBand 2 provides the following Public data types to the Google Fitness Store:

google.step_count.delta (steps)
google.heart_rate.bpm (heart rate in bpm)
google.activity.segment (sleeping, walking, running)

Use SmartBand 2 sensor data for innovative Android and iOS applications

This however does not answer my question regarding the heart rate variability. It only says that I can receive the beats per minute, which is absolutely not the same. – R. Voigt Oct 26 '15 at 17:40
