Update selected profile

[mtiwari8]

Hello,

I want to design a system in which we measure our weight through the fitbit scale and based on a java desktop application, we update the profile of the respected person.
It means i don't want scale to select the fitbit profile it's going to update rather desktop application is going to choose the profile to update.

Thanks,

Mridul

Hi @mtiwari8

Moved your post from the Aria to the Product Development  (Web API) section since being more relevant to the topic and increase the chance of getting a solution.

Hmmm.

I dont know how you would go about doing this as the Aria will only post data to a Fitbit account.

You could create another Fitbit account to sync your Aria scale to. When someone jumps on it would sync that persons weight with the new Fitbit account.

You could then use the API to read that weight and then use your java desktop app to POST the weight back to the persons Fitbit account.

Is there a reason you dont want to use the built in system of adding users to the Aria ??

Im sure you can assign weight to someone through the Fitbit app to by clicking account, devices and then Aria, then recent weigh ins or something like that ?

Would extend that by saying that you can also use the DELETE request method to remove weight data. This would need more investigation, but it's the only way to go. Otherwise you'll need to manually record the data, input it manually into the Java application and let the app do the publish for you.

@mtiwari8: This is not how the Aria is intended to be used. You could pair the Aria to a single user account, get the weight reading from that account, and then update another person's weight if that person has authorized your app.

@Bonxy:
Hello,
Thanks for your reply.
I wanna use the NAO robot with the Fitbit Aria and want to update the profile of the person detected by the robot.

In this use-case, the robot first recognises the person and when the person jumps onto the scale, it updates the profile based on what the robot recognised.

So is there any possible way to do this ?

Thanks,

Hello,

So there is no way to have manual control over the scale ?

This is not how the Aria is intended to be used, but I think you could make it work. You would need to pair the Aria to a generic Fitbit user account. All weight readings would be sent to that Fitbit user. Then, your robot would read the weight from that Fitbit user account and post the weight to the Fitbit user's account that your robot identified.
