Hi @strart63 and welcome aboard! I couldn't find the exact error code in the help section, but I did find a "List Of Known Error Messages" that may be of assistance to you and others. Do any of those codes sound like anything you may be experiencing?

This may sound weird, but is the scale near your router, @strart63? How is it stored? It just sounds like it's in some sort of calibration process. Storing the scale vertically will cause the scale to need to be recalibrated.
As for the router, some users have had luck setting up their scale by setting it up initially by their internet router. It creates a stronger signal between the WiFi and the scale.

When I have changed the batteries, the scale showed me the correct wifi. It's always has been on the flat floor. So no vertical storage. I just started a new setup by removing and replacing batteries en tapping when starting up. The problem remains. All my other devices like laptop, phones, sonos do not have problems with the signal.

@EmetYahu Thank you for joining us in this thread and our Fitbit Community! Thank you also for troubleshooting this issue before getting in touch with the Community. I would like you to let me know if your scale is placed on an even or flat surface and you are stepping on it barefoot.
Finally, weigh yourself 5 time in a row in order to re-calibrate your scale and let me know if the error message disappears.
Keep me posted!

The Aria will be replaced by an Aria2.
The warranty period, 2 years, was not exceeded.
Thanks for help everybody.
Expecting arrival of scale soon.

I had this error over the weekend.
I took the batteries out and waited a while then put them back in. After that I did not step on the scale, I let it sit for a whole day. Finally, I stepped on it and it worked.
YMMV.

@kelvinchua75 I noticed that you joined our Fitbit Community recently. Welcome aboard! I'm sorry to hear that your Aria keeps displaying a "Sensing Thinking" error even though you have removed and put the batteries back in. Please make sure that your scale is placed on an even surface and you are stepping on it barefoot. Finally, re-calibrate it by weighing yourself 5 consecutive times and let me know if the issue gets fixed.
@Cakemeister I see new faces in the Community. Welcome! It's good to know that your Aria is no longer showing the error message. That's great news! Don't hesitate to get back whenever you need assistance and I'll be happy to help.
Catch you both later!
