Syncing Weight Data from Renpho scale to The Garmin app.

6974191 over 2 years ago

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

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…

Having issues lately getting my weight data from MFP to Garmin.

Renpho to Fitbit works fine.

Fitbit to MFP works fine.

It's the last step that is either not happening or I'm a bit too impatient. I disconnected…

I did that. It was after my weigh in yesterday so I'll test it today. I suspect it will work.

Once I confirm it's working, I'll also uninstall FB and MFT.

Is this still working for you? Weights haven't transferred in the past maybe 4 days. At first I thought it was because my weight didn't change so it didn't need to transfer anything but now I see it's not transferring at all.

I will check ins few days. In the midst of transferring to a new phone

Still working for me. Which stage isn’t working for you. If it ever stops working for me disconnecting and reconnecting the apps usually helps.

OK, figured it out.

Android Renpho Health had an update last week.

It disabled the link to Fitbit. I re-enabled it and then I had to disconnect/reconnect Fitbit to MyFitnessPal.

One thing I noticed is that the Renpho scale and Health app only displays weights in round decimals (.0.2.4.6.8). The automatic transfer also sends odd decimals (.1.3.5.7.9)

Yup, same. It’s always a pleasant surprise when I check Garmin and have found I have lost an extra 0.1 pounds.

Hi all, I'm trying to achieve the exact same thing but struggling.

I just wanted to ask when trying to follow this route as advised below ..

Renpho > Fitbit > MyFitnsssPal > Garmin

Do you have to go into Fitbit and connect myfitness pal, I couldn't find an option in Fitbit app / dashboard to link myfitness pal so I did it from the myfitnesspal app instead not sure if that's why it's not working.

But so far the first 3 in the above chain sync my weight across as expected, just can't see it in Garmin app yet. Any advise would be much appreciated thanks

To link Fitbit to MFP, go to the gear setting in the top right corner of the Fitbit dashboard and select Applications toward the bottom of the list of options.

You link there.

I don't know if my experience is common but I find that if my weight doesn't change from one day to the next, nothing is sent from MFP into Connect.

Although the transfer is usually almost instantly, I have also experienced delays.
