HTTP POST/GET over Wifi directly from Fitbit Ionic?

Hi guys,

 

Is there a way to perform a network operation directly from the Fitbit Ionic?

 

I am thinking about POST/GET towards some HTTP/HTTPS endpoint over wifi directly from the watch, without companion app. Is that possible? Will it be possible?

 

On a related topic: is there a way to check, from the SDK of the watch, which wifi hotspot are available nearby? With that information one could build a relatively simple system to detect when a user is at home, at work or at the gym, without using GPS.

There is no possibility to call a web resources directly on the Ionic: you can only do it on the companion side. I would also doubt that it will be possible in the future as it was an architecture decision, but who knows...

 

As for getting the nearby wifi hotspot detected by the smart watch or the phone, there is no API for it right now, but I think it would be useful. It could be nice if you can create a feature request about it at https://community.fitbit.com/t5/Feature-Suggestions/idb-p/features/label-name/sdk
