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

    Thank you so much for the quick response!

    Going to the area you mentioned I see a list of already connected applications, but no button or area where I can add a new one to the list?

    I do see myfitnesspal already in the list but that's because I made the link previously via the myfitnesspal app. Could this be why it's not working or that shouldn't make a difference?l

    Aso, after standing on your renpho scales how long after does the weight get into the Garmin app?

    Take a look here:

    Time to see weight in Connect is usually seconds but I have seen delays from time-to-time.

    Thank you, looks like I'm doing everything correctly based on above article. It's just the myfitnesspal to Garmin that is not feeding through yet. I will give it a few days to see if anything changes. Thanks for your help much appreciated.

    I think I may just have it working now! I went into the Garmin connect app to disconnect the myfitness pal link, reconnected it and it seems to have updated. Thanks again

    it's been a while but noticed that my setup didn't work anymore in one way or another. Tried now Renpho -> MFP -> Garmin and disconnected/reconnected the latter. From Renpho to MFP everything is running fine, but from MFP to Garmin it will give me only the latest data and put it on today instead of on the day I last weighed (3 days ago).

    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 my link between Garmin and MFP and reconnected. It doesn't seem to have helped.

    Agree. There’s been a problem for a few days now. My temporary, manual, daily workaround is in the app, go to Health- Calories In/out and click log food in MFP. I add a token breakfast, go back to the app. Refresh that page, go to dashboard, refresh that and weight pulls through.

    I find it easier to just go to the Fitbit dashboard or the MFP weight report and just enter the amount into Connect from what they say. Actually, I'd just key in the amount right from the Renpho app but then I'd miss the odd time when the weight is an odd number.. I like reporting a weight that's 0.1 lb less than the scale says.

    I have managed to write a Tcl script that reads an exported renpho csv file, converts it into another csv file which I then convert to a FIT file which Garmin connect does import OK.  I've been chasing Renpho to do something for a year to no avail, so I did the above, not particularly elegant but seems to work.

    It imports the following data;  weight, body fat, visceral fat, physique rating, muscle mass, bone mass, metabolic age, water content.

    Note that "physique rating"  is a fixed value of 6 for me, so would have to be changed in the source Tcl to your value (it changes very slowly over time apparently).

    To get it to work, I installed Activestate Tcl  (free), a version of Java and the FIT to SDK stuff from the Developer tab at top of this page.

    To get it to work, the exported csv from renpho app has to be called "renpho.csv" and then I call a batch file which does the 2 stage conversion, csv1 to csv2, then csv to FIT.

    I can post the source Tcl on here if anyone wishes to try (and the 2 stage batch file)? (Assuming I can figure out how).

    It worked automatically today for the first time in weeks.
