Hi, 

 

Subject: Continuously send data when i open app from watch.

 

  1. I saw a few forum answers and got me an idea I can send the accelerometer values to some other server via Companion API.  

    2. Can someone write small code how can App/index.js  interact with Companion/index.js(accessing acc values in companion/index.js from app/index.js)?

 

     I saw using "fetch" function in companion will able to send the data to my server.

 

 

how can I run the Installed app run in the background without stopping?

I used this concept for transferring values from app/index.js  to companion/index.js 

https://dev.fitbit.com/build/guides/communications/messaging/ 

 

I have one issue in this:

1. whenever I'm running installed Fitbit the values are not sending until I turn on in the mobile developer bridge on.

even if I turned on that option in the mobile, it sending max 4-5 min not more than that. it is disconnecting very fast 😞

 

Is there a way where I can send the accelerometer values continuously just by clicking the installed app? @paperinik @JonFitbit
