If you weigh yourself on a smart scale from Withings, Eufy, Renpho, Garmin, Fitbit or another brand, VertigoMe can read your weight and body fat. It does not connect to the scale directly. The scale's app saves readings to Apple Health on iPhone or Health Connect on Android, and VertigoMe reads them from there.
Step 1: Make sure your scale's app shares weight
Open the scale's app (Health Mate, EufyLife, Renpho Health, Garmin Connect, Fitbit and so on). In its settings, find Apple Health or Health Connect and turn on sharing for Weight and Body Fat.
A few apps only share with one of the two. For example, the Fitbit app does not share with Apple Health on iPhone.
Step 2: Connect VertigoMe
On iPhone:
- Open VertigoMe.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen. A drawer slides in from the left.
- Tap Connections.
- Find the Apple Health card at the top and tap Connect. If it already says Connected, skip ahead.
- A short VertigoMe note explains what will be read. Tap Continue.
- Apple's permission sheet slides up. Tap Turn On All, then Allow.
On Android:
- Open VertigoMe.
- Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen. A drawer slides in from the left.
- Tap Connections.
- Find the Health Connect card at the top and tap Connect. If it already says Connected, skip ahead.
- A short VertigoMe note explains what will be read. Tap Continue.
- The Health Connect permission screen appears. Tap Allow all, then Allow.
Step 3: See your readings
Weight and Body Fat are listed with your other body readings in Physical Health. VertigoMe keeps the latest weight for each day.
- Tap the Monitor tab.
- Tap the Physical Health card to open it.
- Tap Customize Physical Health at the top to choose which metrics the card shows.
