Connect Nokia/Whitings scale to Garmin Connect

Hi. I have seen various old posts about issues related to connecting the scale to Connect. Has there been any solutions for this or is Connect mainly designed for Garmin scales?
  • This has been working truly without a single issue for years. Then on about June 28, 2018 or so, Connect stopped getting weight data or is not displaying it. Anyone else see the same phenomenon?


    Yes. I've come here looking for a solution to exactly the same problem, JohnDotCom. I have wight data (from Nokia) synced (to Garmin) trough June 29 2018. And that is it. Before it worked flawlessly. Today, trying to figure out what was going on I've logged for the first time (years?) to MFP and had to check several new "permissions" before being allowed to see my data/account. Maybe that will fix it. I will come back here tomorrow to tell.

    Did you fix the issue?

    Not yet... Are you also experiencing this? That would make 3 of us already and might point to this be due to some changes on the Connect server.

    I did notice that Withings data keep getting to MFP and Garmin data (activities) also show there. I've just tried to disconnect and reconnect Garmin Connect with MFP. Let's hope that fix it.

    After several attempts the 2 (MFP and Garmin Connect) finally reconnected. Today weight (measured on Withings, synced with MPF already) shows on GC. No data after June 29 (all available on MFP) came to GC.

    The problem, for me, was actually behind the keyboard. I hadn't noticed, when trying to connect MFP with GC, that there was a popup coming from my browser asking to confirm the connection. Once I figured that out, weight data immediately started to appear in GC.

    Thank you!

    The Garmin Connect has an option to read data from Apple Health (which the Withings/Nokia app writes data to) but for some reason (even when switched on) Garmin Connect does not read this data from Apple Health...
  • Just have to add my solution to this thread. This project sync weights from nokia to garmin https://github.com/magnific0/nokia-weight-sync it's python based. It works very well. Se attached screenshot. I also sync to strava via ifttt.com I use this applet https://ifttt.com/applets/78388554d-withing-scale-kg-to-strava I had to hit the gear icon and delete the WeighLB ingredients to get weights in kg.

    LarsToreG Hi!

    Thank you. I have been looking for a way to get my Withings data into GC for two years now. I know absolutely nothing about programming and Github (I am nutrition guy, that I know a lot about :).

    Would you, when and if you have time, be able to do a point by point how to set this up? Or can you point us to a place where we can read up on this and figure it out eventually?

    I´ve downloaded the GitHub desktop app now and started on the Nokia site to register an application. But what should I put in the "Application website" area?

    I have no idea what I am doing but I want to try...
  • FredRost I think you are on the wrong track with github desktop app. You have to install python3. And pip3 is also nice to have to install the needed python libraries.
    pip3 install arrow requests requests-oauthlib
    will take care of that. After you have python working. There are plenty of tutorials on net for install python on your platform.

    The application website. I think I just entered the url to nokia-weight-sync.

    Hello,

    I too struggled to make this Nokia/Withings weight data to flow into Garmin Connect via MFP.

    Thanks to one of your posts I got it solved: *deconnect and re-associate your scale from your Withings account*.

    My scale is a few years old and only works in WiFi (no bluetooth). THis was another struggle in itself. I could no longer make this work with the Nokia App. I had to download an (iOS) installer, plug the scale with USB cable and made it to work. Now suddenly my new weights flow immediately in both MFP and G :-). But only new weight, no history is being transferred. Good enough.

    Without your help I would have abandoned, so felt a duty to write here for others.

    Thanks Google, thank you guys.
