I need to read Gyroscope data of a Fitbit Sense and do some calculations on them and show the results to the user and also save the data to another app or web. I was thinking to develop a Fitbit app and communicate with a companion to send the data to companion and receive the results from it. First of all, since my calculations might be heavy, do you know if I develop a Fitbit app and companion and send the data to companion and do calculation on the companion am I going to use the phone CPU? if yes, how can I send the results to another application or web after that?

Hi @Masghari  - as the companion runs on the phone it will use the phone CPU.

 

The companion can send data to a web server providing the phone has a good internet connection.
