I have a charger without the button. Can I connect an ATX PSU's 5V and GND directly to a female USB port, connect the charger and Alta HR to the port, and turn the ATX switch off and on 3 times in a row? 

(interrupting connection between PS_ON and GND)

PSU's rear power switch stays on.

Hi @423536271827  didn't you get your answer here?  Why not just buy an authentic Fitbit charger? Only charger units without a button were third party ones.

@Odyssey13 That is a way different question. It is about controlling the PSU with a fitbit. This is about restarting the fitbit and connecting the charger to the PSU.

Just curious as to why getting a charger with the button seems easier to me. I'll ask a moderator to stop by to see if they have any information for you.
