Health Connect?

Has any of Wyze scales moved from Google Fit to Health Connect? I have an older model and the app still says Sync Data to 3rd Party Apps – Google Fit and Fitbit.

Have you read this topic?

I did not, so I just read it. I see nothing about if and when it will be switching to Health Connect. The fact that the Ultra scale list in a picture that it will support Health Connect doesn’t mean much. When I bought the original scale it had an image that it would support Samsung Health. Here we are 5 plus years later and guess what never happened.

Yeah, their messaging isn’t the best:

I don’t have that particular model (I’m still using Scale S), so I can’t speak directly to the state of any third-party integrations with newer scales, but I believe @carverofchoice actually uses it. If it’s not working as advertised, though, then this wouldn’t be the first case of Wyze over-promising a feature that wasn’t actually available at launch. :roll_eyes:

Yes, my Google/Android Health Connect is syncing with the newest Wyze Scale Ultra Bodyscan. It’s syncing the following days so far:

  • Basal Metabolic Rate
  • Body Fat
  • Body Water Mass
  • Bone Mass
  • Lean Body Mass
  • Weight

Those are the only measurements Health Connect currently supports from the Wyze Scales.

Note that the Wyze Scales will only sync to Health connect if you have the scale open and connected by Bluetooth in the Wyze App when you do the measurement. For some reason it won’t connect the data remotely through the Wi-Fi method (which is actually really frustrating for me because I love the convenience of the Wi-Fi connection so I don’t have to open the app on my phone, but I desperately want the data in health connect so the Wi-Fi is almost entirely worthless to me again. :sob: Ugh.

Anyway, to connect Health Connect you just go into the settings for the scale and click on “Authorize 3rd Party Apps” then if you have an Android phone new enough to support Health Connect one of the options should be “Health Connect”.

I have not tried it with other scale models, just the Ultra Bodyscan, and it works on that.

I particularly like that I can then sync all that data to other apps like Home Assistant so I can now view it in charts on custom dashboards and even do some custom routines/automations based on the data.

That’s a bummer. Seems like Wyze should be able to do a server-to-server communication to send this to Google Health Connect on the backend since the “Ultra” scales have Wi-Fi connectivity. Having this all go through the phone like an app-to-app thing seems inefficient. :slightly_frowning_face:

Yeah, it’s my understanding that other brands have been able to do this, so Wyze “can” do it. I’m not sure why they didn’t though. It’s probably more complicated.
