Integration with Ring App

Status: Not currently planned Submitted by on ‎09-15-2020 16:44

Apparently Fitbit has stopped support for notifications from the ring doorbell app late 2019. I just got confirmation of this by calling both Fitbit and Ring and both stated that Fitbit stopped the support for all the updated ring app since Nov 2019. Fitbit needs to restore this support/ partnership for the sake of customers using both devices.
This is needed because:
Ring Doorbells are really popular and notifications are received correctly by other wearables brands, but for some reason Fitbit only partially supports them. Fitbit should test their software to ensure it works with all the notifications raised by the Ring app.
I'd use this: Daily

Thanks for sharing this suggestion. Our web API and smartwatch SDK are open which means that the service you are wanting can actually integrate with Fitbit. We’d encourage you to make this suggestion to the service and direct them to our existing API and SDK and resources such as the web dev API community. You will likely be able to email them via their contact us page or customer support, or they may have their own ideas board like this. Or encourage them to reach out to Fitbit directly. Thanks for your participation in the Feature Suggestion forums, we look forward to making Fitbit more useful for you.

Currently the Fitbit app on Android lets you select the "Ring" app as one of the apps to get notification from on your watch. This feature seems to work for certain notifications, for example if you change the mode from "Home" to "Disarmed", but motion and ring notifications are not sent for some reason.

Hi @John-21  -  are the notifications that don't appear on the watch, actually appearing on the phone as notifications?

Hi @John-21, thanks for taking the time to share this suggestion about having the option to connect with Ring app. This feature suggestion already exists, so I’ve moved your post here. While we don’t currently have plans to release this feature, we always appreciate the passion and creativity that comes out of this Community. Since we know this idea is important to many of you, we have left voting open to continue tracking interest and will post another update if anything changes.
