I note Fitbit currently do not plan to develop compatibility with Linux systems. However, Android is a Linux based system. It is based on a Linux kernel. So, Fitbit already has the technology available to them. Why are you so reluctant to roll this out onto Linux systems? I tried posting my question in the original Linux thread that started in 2013 but the thread has been closed to further comments because you have no plans to sort this issue.
