      I notice FitBit isn’t supported though.

      Although that’s understandable. The wife had one and it wouldn’t talk to the official app reliably either.

        Yeah these manufacturers make it harder to connect to, i already have to get the decryption key from the SQL database of the MiBand app to use my MiBand with Gadgetbridge. I guess FitBit saves it somewhat safe, that’s why it’s unsupported

      I like the idea of this. At present time it doesn’t look like any Fitbit-branded devices are supported, unless I’m missing something.

        I love my Garmin, but it is a kinda closed system. I’m not sure how easy it is to develop your own apps for it, but the default ones, while very good, definitely have their problems.

          It is closed but not necessarily bad. It was rated highly on the Mozilla Privacy Not Included.

      I really wanted to use gadget bridge. But they only support obscure watches and some Chinese knock offs.

      Amazing concept, but I guess its really hard to reverse engineer some of the protocols these major watch/fitness trackers use.
