Hi All, I have a related question.

I made this call to the API: https://api.fitbit.com/1/user/-/activities/calories/date/2014-09-11/1d.json

 This is an exctract of the result

{        "level": 0,
        "mets": 10,
        "time": "00:45:00",
        "value": 1.2100000381469727
      },

I was certainly sleeping at 00.45. I suppose that level 0 means "sedentary", and this is coherent. Also value (calories per minute) is reasonable. But what about mets? I would have expected it were close to 1 (resting mets), but it corresponds to a very demanding activity (see examples here: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/clc.4960130809/pdf).  I'm puzzled. Maybe the shown mets is the actual value multiplied by 10?

 

Thanks to anybody who can help.
