Luxe is tracking steps while sleeping

[Leash143]

I've had my luxe for a month now. I wake to it saying I've taken 300 steps so far. This is the only device I have, nothing to interfere with it's data tracking. I wear it on my non dominant hand but have it set to dominant in hopes it won't be so sensitive to movement. Any thought on how to fix this?

Hi @Leash143  the day begins at midnight, so it's not unusual to have some steps on there when you first wake up. You can always remove unwanted steps by replacing them with an activity. click to learn more.

I added the activity of driving for my sleeping hours, it lessened my burned calorie count but did not reduce my step count.

Hi there, @Leash143. Welcome to the Community Forums. Thanks for the details provided in your post about the issue with your Luxe and following @Odyssey13's recommendation. 

Please note that manually logging a driving activity won't delete the steps but negate them. 

As for the main issue, I was wondering if the issue has happened again after you posted? If so, I'm wondering if you're using another app connected to your Fitbit account that will add more steps? Mobiletrack maybe? Low-power step sensors inside your phone track your steps and send the data to the Fitbit app. We recommend using MobileTrack if you forget your Fitbit device at home.

Note that adding more than one Fitbit device to your account gives you the convenience of switching between devices while still seeing a holistic view of your daily activity on your dashboard.

For additional information, see What can I do if my step count seems inaccurate?

Hope this helps.

I do not have any other apps connected to my fitbit/phone. The problem is still there, stating 250+ steps upon waking up.
