How to connect to FitBit web api with FitBit Charge 3? #1

Hello from what I see from the website only FitBit Versa, Versa-lite and Ionic are recognized. How did you manage to connect the Charge 3? Thanks!

Hello, thanks for the issue.

As far as I know, the system works like this:

The data is stored in the FitBit, and then when synced to the phone, it is sent to FitBit's server. At that point I do not think there is any difference when gathering the data, other than obvious things like some devices may not have a heart rate sensor. You should not have to do anything special to get data from your Charge 3, as that is what I have.

Thanks! Case
