Suggested Improvements for Wyze Scales’ Data Export

[farside8]

Scales & App set to kg however when exporting kg turn into pounds

In Australia we use Kg for measuring weight which works well with these scales, however when we export the results using our email the report shows the weight in Pounds and Kg but all the other readings showing weight are in Pounds.

Welcome to the Forum, @farside8!

I agree that measurements in data columns such as “Lean Body Mass”, “Bone Mass”, and “Muscle Mass” should be given in kg. In fact, since the kilogram is truly a unit of mass, it makes even more sense to list these “Mass” measurements in kilograms rather than in pounds.

My main problem at this point with the scale data export (at least what I see for my Wyze Scale S) is that the data is dirty, by which I mean that the data cells in a column like “Weight(lb)” also includes text in addition to the numerical values: A weight of 14.7 pounds (I use Pet Mode frequently) shows as “14.7lb”, so that cell can’t be treated as a number because it’s contaminated with unnecessary text and must first be sanitized. That creates additional work for the user and feels like Wyze is causing a problem that the user has to fix. This shouldn’t be happening.

Other users in the Wishlist > Wishes Granted topic noted above have commented on this same problem:

I would like to see exported data be only numeric values (i.e. “175” instead of “175 lb”) so that the data could be manipulated and sorted. I could then add a delta column and write a simple formula to generate the difference from day to day. Also, allow reformatting of some columns, like the date-time column per the values in MSExcel.

And - as has been stated elsewhere here - mixing numbers and letters is not a standard format and surely not in the Excel (.xlsx) used for the export data. Presently, it is pretty silly and suggest the programmer didn’t consider any standards what-so-ever. Examples include: All cell values are in the ‘General’ format and should be content specific applying the proper formatting (e.g. ‘Data and Time’ is plain text and doesn’t follow standard Excel format) Some headers already have units specif…

That’s my primary reason for voting for this topic, because the “Granted” wish is still broken, and I hope that this topic will generate new votes/discussion for Wyze to see so that they can correct this.
