openScale

If your scale name is not shown during the search in Settings->Bluetooth->Your Bluetooth scale, you must first unpair the scale with your smartphone in the Android Bluetooth settings or within an installed vendor app. Ensure your scale is turned on, you have granted the coarse location permission during the search, and the batteries are fully charged.

openScale does not synchronize data with third parties for privacy reasons. It does not send any data to the cloud and does not require internet access. However, you can use openScale sync to synchronize your health data with other services.

You may need to delete all users in the vendor's app (or reset the scale) and then add a new user in openScale. After synchronizing with openScale, you should receive all other body metrics. Make sure to back up your measurements before proceeding.

A Consent Code is a security code used to link your openScale app with your Bluetooth scale. It is displayed on the scale's screen when setting up a new user. Enter this code in openScale when prompted to complete the initial pairing. If you no longer know the consent code, you must delete the user on the scale and create a new user in openScale to generate a new code.

The Android API >= 6.0 requires access to the coarse location to search for Bluetooth devices. openScale does not read your location at any time; this permission is only for Bluetooth functionality.

Go to Settings → General and enable the 'File logging' option. Reproduce the issue in openScale, then go back to Settings → General and use the 'Export Log File' button to save the debug log to your smartphone. Share the log in a new GitHub issue by pasting the log or attaching the file.

openScale is open source and relies on the community. You can help by reverse engineering your scale by analyzing the Bluetooth 4.x protocol between your scale and the original vendor app. Refer to the 'How-to support a new scale' guide for further information.
