Hi Team,

 

I want to read sensor's data to my third party android app. Please suggest me the way to achieve it.

 

I am able to connect my APP with FitBit versa 2  as BLE using  BitGatt (https://github.com/Fitbit/bitgatt#sample-code). also able to discover services and characteristics and able to read  characteristics also. So can i get sensors data from discovered services?. 

 

Is BitGatt(https://github.com/Fitbit/bitgatt#sample-code) is safe to use with FitBit ?.

Fitbit devices don't currently expose any data via BLE. The project you referenced is a generic solution for working with gatt, but not specifically for connecting to our devices.

 

The only way to expose data is via a dedicated app on the Fitbit device which sends data to the Companion API, which in turn, sends data via WebSockets or fetch to your backend or app.
