Why not add Amazon Alexa as possible so we can access our accounts

@Tntsandiego Welcome to the Fitbit family! Fitbit Skill for Alexa is available for Fitbit. Please check here to get the steps to set it up.

 

Additionally, please take a look at this article about Alexa for Fitbit to check what information can Alexa tell you and how to ask.

 

Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes! Smiley Happy

Trying to get this working the other way... ie controlling Alexa devices from Fitbit. Is this possible?

@SuzyBee77 Welcome to the Fitbit family! Interesting. What kind of Alexa devices would you like to control through Fitbit? 

 

It is not currently possible to do that. However. I'd recommend posting this idea on the Feature Suggestions Board. This is the best way to get your idea for users to vote. Developers often check the board too, so it is a good idea to have it posted there.

 

Keep me posted! Smiley Happy

Hello! I know this is an old thread but I am not sure if I should use this or start a new one.

 

I notice the Amazon Alexa skill for Fitbit in America is available, but I cannot find it on amazon.ca so I can't enable it. Is it ever going to be available in Canada?

@Caspurr Welcome to the Fitbit forums! Thanks for taking the time to post on this thread regarding the Fitbit Skill for Alexa in Canada.

 

Currently, this option is only available for the US. In this case, I'd recommend voting for the following Feature Suggestion:

 

The more votes, the better. Feel free to also leave a comment on the idea.

It looks like they've added that feature to the new Versa-2.  I have an Ionic.  I love to issue Alexa commands from my watch when I'm not in the same room as my Echo device.

Sorry, I meant to say I "would" love to be able to use my watch to control my lights, etc.  I don't think it the capability exists yet.

Just saw that they made a new Versa with the Alexa built in. They should have updated the Ionic with it first as it is their flagship smartwatch. Hoping they will do it soon. It would take it to the next level!
