I'm dabbling in Apple Watch and Healthkit plugins at the moment. Pretty similar end result, just Apple's version. If you can get me some info on how to communicate directly with the Fitbit, I'll see if it's something I can do. Comments Not yet. I can't seem to find much info for programming for Fitbit.

Not sure if she develops for it, though. If you're interested, the API Description is here: https://dev.fitbit.com Cheers! -- Smug Comments The only person I know who has a fitbit is Susan (Metoxen).

I'd estimate about 3 weeks before I can dive into it, but if someone else wants to give it a shot before then, feel free.

Angry Ninja Aspiring developer Posts: 1045 Reg: Aug 25, 2013 Maine 17,150	07/17/15 01:17 PM (9 years ago) If anyone else wants to tackle the Fitbit plugin, I'm going to pass on it for now. The main reason is, I don't have a device to test on, and without data flowing from the device to the device/simulator, developing the plugin would be nearly impossible. Usually I'm the first on the band wagon for new hardware, but I already have the apple watch, so the Fitbit wouldn't be of any additional benefit.
