Messaging API

I'm trying to send data from my Fitbit Ionic to Companion App. 

Is there any documentation that provide how fast the data transmission can be? 

I don't find it at https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/device-api/messaging/

Thanks.

How fast is Message API to deliver bytes of data from Fitbit to Companion App? Just wonder the speed of transmission. Can't find it in docs. Thanks

Hi @adiwibowoplus 

 

I moved your question to the Device SDK community to see if someone can help you.

I don't think I've ever measured it, but it's very fast.

Is there any claim from Fitbit about this speed? Thanks.

The data is small and transferred via BLE. In my own testing messaging is pretty much instantaneous, I haven't needed to test the actual speed. Unfortunately the speed varies due to different conditions and chipsets used.
