Skin Temperature not working

[Ellyssia]

Is the Skin Temperature a "coming soon" feature? I got my Sense yesterday and did all the updates/setup, but that particular stat says "update Fitbit device to latest firmware and wear it to sleep" after wearing it to bed last night.  I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here.

You have to wear it 3 nights in a row in order for it to establish a baseline.

Thanks. I am still poking at all the features and trying to figure it all out 🙂

It is so much fun getting new gadgets!!!!!

[Jane11]

Me too and that was the question I had!!!

@Ellyssia I had to wear it to bed for 3 nights before it detected the skin temperature.  

I also updated the fitbit app and firmware.  

[Ellyssia]

Thanks 🙂 I'm pretty sure my firmware and app are up to date. I'll give it a few more days to make sure

I wore it last night and I clicked in the app today and it says the track I need to update the firmware but my Fitbit updated yesterday and I can't find a way to make it updated again

Mine said that for the first three days. After the third night of sleep and it establishing a baseline, it started working fine. I now see a temperature variation graph on the dashboard. 

[Ellyssia]

Mine is the same:) Took 3 days but it's tracking now. Looks like it needed those 3 days to establish a baseline.

I have the same problem. I understand it takes 3 nights to get a baseline. But I should still be able to see the data for last night in health metrics.  I will wait another 2 nights to see if this is working. If not, I may be sending this back.  This was the main reason I purchased the sense. I need it to track ovulation for natural family planning method of birth control. Thanks.

Here's what you'll see after 3 days. You'll see the increase/decrease from baseline for each night. The variation during the night is in premium. What's in basic seems sufficient to me.

Suggest they change the message rather than having new users try to chase down a firmware update.

So a slight rise in skin temp might be a sign of ovulation. A for sure basil temp is most accurate. You can"t always rely on skin temp. There are many factors that play in skin temp so please don't set skin temp in stone as a for sure reliable ovulation prediction method. I am a nurse of 17 years and a mom of 5 that uses natural family planning as well. Just an FYI

[epadow]

Thanks.  Yeah, I do know that basil temp is best.  I was really hoping that this would help with NFP.  But the more I am reading about misreads etc.  I don't think that is best way to track temp changes.  I do know my luteal phase is 11 days and can generally tell when I ovulate.  I will keep taking temps the old fashion way. Thanks for your input.  Glad to hear I am not the only one doing NFP method of bc.  🙂 Have a great day.

So I have slept wearing my Sense every night for the last 3 nights (I got it Friday in the mail) and I still don't have the baseline at all. How do I fix it? I am logging my core temp.

I don’t have it on mine either. I’m not sure what’s wrong. 

[Art-s]

Ive had mine for 5 days now and still nothing.

Is it broken or do i need longer? Im confused

[MCollins]

Mine is not working consistently.  It read my temp 9/25, but not the 26th, it read it on 9/27 & 9/28, but not 9/29.  I wear it the same way every night.  I haven't received any prompts to update my firmware/software.  Any ideas how to get this working consistently?

I have been wearing it since it was launched and still no base line....sigh
