Versa integration with streamlabs

[greenj92]

Hey fitbit community,

I do some IRL twitch streaming who is looking to incorporate a live HR monitor on my streams. I am looking for help to figure out how I can get the HR monitor from the versa to my streamlabs account on my phone. I have seen people hook up HR monitors to their stream but it is to their computer and not their phone.

Thanks

Hello there @greenj92, welcome aboard to the Fitbit Community and it's great to have an IRL streamer here! Pretty interesting topic you have brought to the table.

So far, Streamlabs doesn't figure among our officially supported apps to integrate with your Fitbit Dashboard. Nonetheless, there are tons of apps that use our Open API to integrate their service with ours. The best way to tell if an app is compatible with Fitbit is to go to the third party site (or app) and poke around their settings to see if you can connect Fitbit. You can also browse their site for information or contact the app owner and ask if they integrate with Fitbit.

Integration works in most cases through the Fitbit app and not directly with your Fitbit tracker. However there isn't many apps able to access to our heart rate data or have conditionals that complement with other type of information.

Not very familiar with streamings, but one alternative would be to use the live data directly from the Fitbit app while it maintains a real-time connection with your tracker. However, this will depend by the strength of the Bluetooth signal to maintain the connectivity.

See you around and let me know if you have other questions.

I would love to see this myself.

I actually coded this up... but then ran into an issue: It works fine on simulated devices, but fitbit locks down HTTP and websocket on the actual devices to SSL-encrypted communications.

So you'd have to setup a full-blown local server with registered certificates (or send the data to the cloud and pipe it back down to OBS).

How hard would it be to setup a server for this? I have a spare PC that is only used for watching my stream. The cloud option would be fine too, Pulsoid works from the cloud but it doesn't support fitbit unfortunately. 

[Darkphibre]

Quite hard, unfortunately. Even with debug bits, I could only see the output attempts in the debugger.

This would be so cool.

I would also like to display my fitbit stats in OBS or on my Twitch profile, so my viewers can see my progress.

I wish the fitbits worked with www.pulsoid.net, it has a lot of nice
features and is easy to implement.
