Connect Garmin devices to my custom made iOS Application(swift)

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi Everyone,

I want to sync Garmin devices to my custom made iOS Application(swift). I am having "Garmin Vivo Smart HR" device, but I am unable to search it using Heart Rate Service UUID ("180D" ).
I have also tried using Connect IQ SDK(downloaded from https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/sdk/), but unfortunately it does not return the device name or list.

I want to pair Garmin devices to my application to get Heart rate and burned calories data.

Please guide me to resolve above problem.

Hey abhishek27kumar,

Unfortunately the vivosmart HR does not support the Connect IQ platform. We do not currently have a platform that will allow you to get content directly from that device to a custom iOS application. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Thanks,

Generally, the Connect IQ SDK will allow you to send data between your app and a Garmin device, but not all devices support Connect IQ. More basic step counter-style devices will not have Connect IQ support, but there are many other devices, like the fenix series, several from the forerunner family, and some vivo devices (e.g. vivoactive HR) that do support Connect IQ.

Hey,

Here are the APIs that we have available.

https://developer.garmin.com/

Those APIs a much different than Connect IQ, however, and require and application process and usually an associated fee. I'm not certain that Garmin currently has an API that would meet your needs in the way you are hoping, but it is worth checking the others out. I would look at either Health or Connect.

Thanks,
