No acceleration data in Versa Lite

[mochrul]

Hi,

Honestly, I'm just a customer and an owner of a FitBit Versa Lite, but when I realized that one of my favorite app (which has to use the accelerometer data) does not work on my watch, I tried to figure out why.

So, I created a dev account and "implemented" a very basic application which does nothing else just reads the accelerometer data and write it out to the screen (practically I just cloned the sensors template and removed all other sensors from it). First I tried with the addEventListener method, but my function never called.

Then I created another small function which is called by the setInterval every 5 seconds. It is called, but no data can be read from the acceleration sensor and also the activated flag of the sensor object is None.

I also tried to restart and even reset my watch more than once, but no changes.

Versa Lite's accelerometer API is currently broken. Fitbit staff know about it. A future firmware update will fix it.

Has it been fixed (as of 3/21/2020)?

It seems still not working for me. Is there any workarounds?
