To sync Renpho data with your Fitbit account, open the Renpho Health app, go to “My Account” (bottom right), then “Settings,” then “Sync Data,” and tap “Fitbit.” This one-time connection links your scale’s measurements to Fitbit so every new weigh-in appears automatically in your Fitbit dashboard.
How to sync Renpho data with your Fitbit account
The connection happens inside the Renpho Health app, there is no direct Bluetooth pairing between your scale and Fitbit hardware. Instead, Renpho uses the Fitbit API to push measurements through the cloud to your Fitbit profile. Before starting, make sure your scale is fully set up: batteries installed, placed on a hard surface, a user profile created, and at least one measurement taken.
- Open the Renpho Health app on your phone and log in.
- Tap “My Account” in the bottom right corner.
- Select “Settings.”
- Choose “Sync Data.”
- Tap “Fitbit.”
- You’ll be redirected to a secure Fitbit login screen. Enter your Fitbit email and password.
- Grant the permissions Renpho requests so it can send data to your Fitbit profile.
- Wait for the “Successfully connected to Fitbit” confirmation message.
That confirmation means the link is live. You only need to do this once per user, there’s no need to repeat it unless you disconnect or switch accounts.
What happens after connecting
Once linked, every new measurement you take on your Renpho scale syncs automatically to Fitbit. The transfer typically appears in the Fitbit app within 1 to 5 minutes, as long as your phone has both internet and Bluetooth enabled. The data that transfers includes weight, body fat percentage, muscle mass, and other body metrics your scale measures.
You don’t have to open the Renpho app or manually trigger anything. Just step on the scale, and the measurement flows through the Renpho app to Fitbit via the cloud. You’ll see the updated numbers in your Fitbit dashboard, alongside your activity, sleep, and other Fitbit-tracked data.
Fitbit can also act as a bridge to other platforms. Because your Renpho data lands in Fitbit, you can then connect Fitbit to apps like TrainingPeaks, letting your body metrics travel further without extra steps in the Renpho app.
Connecting multiple users to their own Fitbit profiles
Each person who uses the same Renpho scale needs their own Fitbit account and their own link. One user’s data will not sync to another person’s Fitbit, even if they share the same phone. This keeps everyone’s metrics separate and private.
- In the Renpho Health app, switch to the user profile that needs the Fitbit connection. You can do this from the profile or user management section.
- Repeat the connection steps: “My Account” → “Settings” → “Sync Data” → “Fitbit.”
- Log in with that specific person’s Fitbit credentials.
- Grant permissions and wait for the “Successfully connected” confirmation.
Each person must complete this process individually. If a second user steps on the scale without linking their own Fitbit, their measurement will stay in the Renpho app only. There is no way to route one person’s data to another person’s Fitbit profile, so make sure every user who wants the sync has done their own setup.
Troubleshooting sync problems
Occasional sync lapses happen, but most are easy to fix. Start by re-logging into Fitbit through the Renpho app. Go to “My Account” → “Settings” → “Sync Data” → “Fitbit,” and you’ll see the option to reconnect. Log out and log back in with your Fitbit credentials, then take a new measurement to test.
If that doesn’t work, check that both the Renpho Health app and the Fitbit app are updated to their latest versions. Outdated apps can break the API connection. Next, make sure the Renpho app has background app permissions enabled on your phone. On iOS, that means allowing background app refresh; on Android, it means allowing the app to run in the background without battery optimization restrictions. Without these permissions, the app may not sync measurements when it’s not open.
Restarting your phone is a simple but effective step. It clears temporary glitches in Bluetooth and network connections. If the problem persists after a restart, try reinstalling both the Renpho Health app and the Fitbit app. Reinstalling resets the local connection and forces a fresh handshake between the two services. After reinstalling, you’ll need to log back into both apps and repeat the Fitbit linking process.
One note about official documentation: some versions of the Renpho Health app FAQ state that “The connecting to Fitbit App and Samsung Health function is under construction right now, please stay tuned.” This message is outdated or refers to a specific older app version or region. The integration is widely supported and functional, the connection steps above work on current iOS and Android versions of the Renpho Health app. If you see that “under construction” text, ignore it and proceed with the setup.
For persistent issues that none of these steps resolve, check that your phone’s Bluetooth is on and that the Renpho scale is within range. Also confirm that you’re using the Renpho Health app, not an older Renpho app version. The current official app is “Renpho Health,” available on both iOS and Android, and it’s the one that supports the Fitbit integration. If you rely on a tablet for your health dashboard, syncing Fitbit with your iPad can give you a larger, more convenient view of your trends. Once reconnected, your measurements should resume syncing within the usual 1 to 5 minute window.
