Syncing Weight Data from Renpho scale to The Garmin app.

Hi,

I have a Samsung Phone s9+ with Samsung Health app.  I wish to sync my weigh data from my Renpho scale back Into Garmin.

Currently I have the following syncs

WEIGHT

Renpho>Samsung Health

Renpho> MFP

CALORIES

MFP > Garmin

But not sure how to get weight into Garmin

    The easiest way is just type the three numbers into the Garmin Connect app.

    He should just by a fitbit.  Atleast their *** integrates

    weight and BMI:
    Renpho > FitBit > MFP > Garmin

    But if you're able to get your weight straight from Renpho to MFP, then you should be able to go from MFP straight to Garmin, no?

    I'm in exactly the same situation.

    I was just looking into the same topic and was about half way through setting up the normal 4-hop mess of apps (Renpho > GoogleFit > MFP > Garmin) when I noticed that MFP has an option to connect directly to "Renpho Health". I did that about 5 mins ago but still the new connection didn't show up in my profile as yet... I'll give it some time to sync but it would be great to skip one step (I also connected Google Fit to MFP and it didn't show up either.... Garmin was already connected to MFP)

    I was never able to get weight from MFP into Garmin automagically.

    So Renpho > MFP, directly, didn't materialize. I signed in to MFP,  allowed access and it reported 'success' (from mobile app, desktop did nothing). However it never showed up in my list of connected service.

    Apparently also Google Fit never showed up in that list on the desktop browser when I did the link (it was there in the app though). More importantly when I looked at what was shared between GoogleFit and MFP, weight was not included. So that route was useless for this.

    In the end, I did Renpho > FitBit > MFP > Garmin like Spiffman mentioned above and that is working out perfectly, because I don't need to have FB and MFP installed on my phone for this solution to work(I don't like the clutter) and most importantly for me, I don't have to manually convert from lbs to kg to punch it into Garmin. So now I can track my weight at a glance in Garmin where I view my running data regularly and I can dig into the other weight related metrics in the Renpho app when I want to

    As an extension to this, I also have Fitbit sending my weight to Zwift, and an IFTTT action to send my weight to Strava from Fitbit. So now if there was a way to go from Renpho directly to MyFitnessPal, it wouldn’t be good for me.

    I setup Renpho to Fitbit to MFP to Garmin. 

    How quickly does Renpho sync to Fitbit? If it's immediate somehow it isn't working for me.

    My experience has been pretty much immediately. When you give renpho/Fitbit permissions, make sure you tick Allow All, not just weight. Not sure why but that affected me. 

    Try disconnecting and reconnecting the link if it’s not sending.
