Oura Ring 5

Same data story as the Ring 4: official REST API (v2) via your own OAuth app, but Gen3-and-later rings can't use the API without an active Oura Membership ($5.99/mo or $69.99/yr in the US). Data download through the Membership Hub works without one. Home Assistant support is community (HACS) only.

RingConn Gen 2 Air

The budget RingConn. Like the rest of the lineup, it needs no subscription but has no public API, so getting data out means syncing to Apple Health or Health Connect.
