Record ANT+ Body Weight

I saw that the new SDK (2.1) has new FIT Recording features. Is it possible with this new SDK to receive data from an ANT+ Weight Scale and record it as .FIT file and sync it with Garmin Connect?
  • The ConnectIQ FIT recording is activity based and you could in theory put the weight in there but this has no linkage to the User Profile and can't alter or modify any of that data.

    Thanks for your answer.

    This means that it is not possbile to sync it with the garmin connect profile?
  • ConnectIQ doesn't provide a way to alter any profile or device settings at this time. The application can maintain a set of it's own data (available only to the application in the object store) and with the new FIT recording feature you'll be able to record some additional information into your activities but that won't link to any Garmin Connect elements.

    I dont want change the weight in the user profile settings. I want to add the body weight measurement to the weight history that it is displayed in the chart view in my garmin connect account. Is there a way to do this?

    There isn't a way to do that with ConnectIQ at this time that I am aware of.
  • There is now a App which provides uploads of health data to Garmin Connect.
