What is Centauri

[lisap2]

Hey Fitbit, what exactly is Centauri?

[JohnnyRow]

I don't know of any Fitbit reference to Centauri, but

From Wikipedia

"Centauri may refer to:

• Any of the stars (or star systems), in the constellation Centaurus, including:
  • Alpha Centauri, a binary star including the brightest star of Centaurus
  • Beta Centauri, the second-brightest star of Centaurus, at a much greater distance from the Sun
  • Proxima Centauri, the nearest to the Sun of all stars, and close to Alpha Centauri
• Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, a 1999 computer game
• Centauri Production, a Czech computer games company
• Centauri (Babylon 5), a species, civilization, and related terms, in the US TV series Babylon 5
• Centauri, a character in the US movie The Last Starfighter"

Sounds about right!  When my new Inspire bluetooth connected as Centauri, I googled and didn't find much.   There were a few other comments here stating the same, and looks like maybe some ties to employer fitness programs, or beta models.  Mine was purchased through Fitbit's Amazon store.  Still curious!

I received mine as a replacement after my old one couldn't be repaired.

I just got a replacement Inspire HR after mine went dead.  Got the same message, and hope it's Fitbit.... Odd that my phone is asking if I want to allow Centauri to receive notifications.  Hmmmmmm

Just  went to setup my   replacement Fitbit that I bought off eBay and got the same message. Never had that message with my Fitbit that I had bought from bestbuy.

I just did a little more research and it looks like “Centauri” is actually the charger type. 🤷‍:female_sign: Idk why it would need to send notifications… they sell them on walmart.com.

it might just be the type of charger they sell with the fitbit from certain stores. Bought mine on Amazon and same message.
