@Crzymomof4 Welcome to the Community.
Thanks for the details mentioned. I would like you to force quit the app, reset Bluetooth, restart your Ionic, refresh notifications and set them up again. Check the instructions in this article.
I'll be around if you have any additional questions.

Hi @Crzymomof4 what phone do you have? If it's an iPhone there is a known issue with notifications which is down to Apple changing the way notifications are handled. If it's Android there is a list of compatible devices but I get all notifications on my Nokia 8.1 which is NOT on the supported list!

I have never been able to get notifications of any type working on my Ionic. I have followed two or three message threads on here. I have a Android Pixel 2 X phone. I have done the following:
0) Updated the firmware on my Ionic to current.
1) Powered off my phone.
2) Powered off the Fitbit.
3) Uninstalled and reinstalled the fitbit app on my phone.
4) Turned off Bluetooth and restarted the Ionic. Turned off Bluetooth and restarted my phone.
5) "forgot" the Ionic in the fitbit app and re-added it.
6) Forgot and readded the Ionic to my bluetooth.
7) verified the notifications settings in the fitbit app.
I disabled wi-fi to try to force it to use bluetooth, and now it's not syncing. My wife has an Alta-Hr and she gets text/email notifications. Seems like a more expensive version would be able do that. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
