Inspire 2 auto sync

[Emon13]

I am working on a health monitoring related project where I am using the web api to periodically read Fitbit data and analyze it using my custom algorithm. But the Fitbit inspire 2 I am using, does not sync automatically- at all. If the user opens the Fitbit app in his phone manually, the data syncs. But that is not convenient for my project at all. How can I make sure that the Fitbit syncs data automatically, say every 15 minutes?

Entered the forum looking exactly for this, in my case I would need Fitbit to sync data every minute (heart rate).

Is there any API endpoint or similar way of achieving this? Thanks!

Hi @Emon13 

The device will sync automatically if the Fitbit mobile application is running on the mobile device, the Fitbit device is within bluetooth range of the mobile device, and the mobile device has an active internet/data connection.  The Fitbit device does not sync over the air without the mobile application.

Hi @luisSkyl 

If you need data more frequently than every 15 minutes, I'd suggest you support the Fitbit smart watch with your project and build a clock face that controls the sync rate.   You'll need to build a companion application that runs inside of the Fitbit mobile application.

Thanks for your reply Gordon. I'll discuss it with my team later, its a shame you can only do that using a watch...
