I’ve only been testing for a couple of days, but it seems like fitbit will accept data from a bigger range of scales.
Based off this thread I’m going from the Renpho app → Fitbit → MFP → Connect. So potentially the fitbit option would open it up to more people (like me! )
I just added Fitbit as a source. So you can sync from Withings/Fitbit to TrainerRoad/Strava/Garmin/Fitbit. I’m interested to see how it works with Eufy, Renpho, and other smart scales that sync to fitbit.
Just to clarify, right now you manually update your weight in Garmin Connect, and then this gets synced with MyFitnessPal?
If that’s the case things should continue to work with Smart Scale Sync. The service automates the manual uploading by logging into your account and performing the action, so I don’t think it will break the connection with MFP.
also I forgot the Fitbit API works differently than the Withings API, so Smart Scale Sync will actually process your most recent weight as soon as you start your subscription and connect accounts. So it should have already uploaded something to TR/Strava/Garmin even if you haven’t weighed yourself yet.
Yeah, I noticed that. Well in TrainerRoad and Strava. I wasn’t sure on connect as that was updated this morning via my old method (so was obviously the same weight).
If you look in the mobile garmin connect app, it should also display the body fat %. (Although if the old method somehow updated Garmin afterwards, it would have overwritten the Smart Scale Sync data bc Garmin Connect only supports having 1 weigh-in per day).
I’ve been hounding Garmin support once a week for the past month because the advanced data (body fat % from Fitbit; body fat %, water %, muscle mass, and bone mass from Withings) should also display in the web app but there’s a bug. It’s not a huge priority for them but the support rep has encouraged me that it’s in queue for review by the engineering team.
Yes, that would be nice. I’ve got an older Fitbit Aria and use MyFitnessPal app to sync weight into Apple Health, and then Strava reads Health to update weight.
I’d email support so it can go into their organizational flow chart for improvements. I’m not certain TR plans to use this forum as a means of prioritizing development suggestions, but I may be wrong.
Sorry to drag this up @veloriderkm , but how have you got TR to sync weight with Strava? I have a Withings scale too (Nokia resold the division back to the Withings management team) but I can’t see a way of syncing that weight to TR…?
https://smartscalesync.com/ works flawlessly with Withings Scale. I weigh myself every morning and my weight syncs to all my accounts (TR, Strava, Garmin, Zwift etc).
The developer even emailed me when he saw that my Withings account has stopped syncing (and e-mailed me again when everything was back up).
Working great for me too. I actually sold my Garmin scale and changed to the Withings specifically to utilize this sync service as it only works with Withings or Fitbit as SOURCE. Has been totally trouble free ever since and syncs across all my services quickly.
