Add support for a Withings wifi scale

I just noticed that my weight readings from the scale are showing up on the garmin calendar.

Question for those using MFP and Garmin Connect:

If you do not use MFP to record calorie intake, how often is weight (and other?) data synced between MFP and Garmin Connect?

I ask because I am considering purchase of Withings wireless scales and would like to link via MFP to GC but will not be recording calorie intake and fear that the sync is triggered only when calories are recorded.

PUSH.

Is there anyone here that had the Withings -> MFP -> Garmin Connect combo working properly? Like stepping on the scale, upload to Withings, sync to MyFitnessPal and from there to Garmin. For me it works until the MFP-Garmin step. There the data is lost somewhere.

Unless you are using MFP to record food intake (calories) you will need to trigger a manual sync between GC and MFP. To do this, go to GC > Calories In/Out and click on "Sync Now".

Thanks Simon. That was helpful. It works now. But ONLY for the last entry in the list. So I would have to do this EVERY day or at least every day I step on the scale. :( Any way to circumvent that?

Not that I'm aware of. I'm trying to build an automated service myself but struggling with the opaque GC API at the moment! It's just a simple call to a single URL but the login and authorisation is a non-trivial process!

But I think that GC is limited to recording one weight entry per day, so that would be a limiting factor anyway, if you were looking to do multiple weigh-ins per day.

I don't need multiple weigh-ins. An automatic way would be great. The button "sync now" is no unique URL one can just reload every other day. The other solution would be to simply add automatically some food to MFP. Then the sync would go forward automatically. Correct?

+1 for a direct support of Withings devices in GC.

Certainly adding food to MFP would trigger the update of weight to GC. Calling the "sync now" URL is not a problem. Doing the login process to GC automatically (i.e. building scripts to do it and run) is not straight forward. I've lost several days to this already!!!

Why not "call" it in the browser instance where one is logged in anyways?
