Smart Watch connectivity

[FamousL]

Hello,
Just wanted to check in on this functionality. I am looking at getting wger setup for my family and being able to load up data from a smart watch would be helpful. I see there is movement on making this happen, I was wondering if this was a focus, backburner, already implemented, or such.

Thank you
Famous.

Hi!

there are two ideas for this, synchronizing health data (heart rate, steps, distance walked, etc.) already collected by google or apple and optimizing the app (well, realistically only the gym mode) for a smart watch and being able to use that to log things in the gym. Both are rather experimental, for example for the health data we don't know how well the flutter package that would allow us to access health data works and what we need to do backend side on our side. So yeah, this is definitely not implemented yet 😅 but I also can't give you a time frame. I would like to take a look at this after I finally merge the flexible routines, but I can't promise anything

Thank you,

I have added fun of running the PineTime smart watch, so most of the main-stream stuff isn't working either.

yes, that would mean a whole other set of problems. Are there already some free apps that read out those values? If that's the case we would "only" need to collect and send that to the wger backend once it exists

I am using Gadget Bridge to connect/collect the data, however I do not know if they have an api or other way to pull that information off hand. If they do, that opens quite a bit of devices for use.
