When will we have api for the temperature sensor

[kmpm]

The manual lists a temperature sensor, when will it get an API?  

[JonFitbit]

This is not currently planned, sorry.

Does the watch have a temperature sensor as documented in the manual?

[kmpm]

Interesting question, does it even have a temperature sensor?

I know a lot of CPUs have internal temperature sensors to check their own temperature for health.

Is this a case of marketing department skimming the spec sheet from the hardware department without reading it properly.

[Gavinsb]

Hope not. Was one of the things that caught my eye when reading the manual. Could make for interesting app / stats.

@JonFitbit

Thanks for your response. No current plan for an API. Understood.

Can you please clarify one thing: Does the Ionic even have a temperature sensor as indicated by the Fitbit supplied "General Info and Specs" posted by @kmpm?

I believe the sensor does exist, but we're not planning on exposing an API at this time.

I do not understand how a serious company that manages this brand recognized as fitbit, publish advantages of the product that finally can not be used. That can mean a false offer. temperature sensor is a measure that everybody need use

[zambranojesus67]

temperature sensor is a measure that everyday need use

Double Thumbs down if the temperature sensor is not utilized!

Hi,

is there any updates on your decision about providing the API?

I can bet integrating this feature into our app would result in a considerable increase in Fitbit ionic.

[zambranojesus67]

Waiting for..... temperature sensor API

[GeryW.]

Dis anything happen, this could be VERY useful in the current situation?

[GeryW.]

With the temperature sensor API we could potentially save lives right now........

[kmpm]

Complete silence so far

[GeryW.]

How could we do it without help?
