Sync Smartphone Android to your dashboard
FitMesh Sync reads health data directly from your phone via Health Connect — Android pedometer steps, heart rate from apps like Samsung Health in phone-only mode, Google Fit data and manual entries. No smartwatch required: if your phone writes to Health Connect, FitMesh reads it.

Troubleshooting
I don't see my steps+
Check that Health Connect → Permissions → FitMesh Sync → Steps is enabled. If you have Samsung Health or Google Fit installed, also verify they have write permissions for steps in Health Connect.
I see less data than someone with a smartwatch+
Correct: a wearable adds continuous sensors (24/7 heart rate, SpO₂, automatic sleep stages). The phone offers basic data — but for many users it's enough to track daily steps and activities.
Can I add a smartwatch later?+
Yes. Just connect your wearable to Health Connect (via Samsung Health, Zepp, OHealth or another companion app) and FitMesh will automatically read the new data. You can change the mode in Settings at any time.
Technical notes
Connection via Health Connect, no OAuth. Phone data (pedometer, fitness apps) is read exactly like wearable data — Health Connect abstracts the source. Data quality and granularity depend on the apps installed and the device's sensors.
Frequently asked questions
Does it work without any smartwatch?+
Yes. FitMesh reads the data your phone writes to Health Connect — steps from the built-in pedometer, manually logged activities, data from apps like Samsung Health or Google Fit in phone mode. You don't need a watch.
What data do I see without a smartwatch?+
It depends on the apps you have installed: with Samsung Health (phone-only mode) you see steps, estimated calories and manual heart rate. With Google Fit you see steps and activities. Manual entries (weight, sleep, water) always appear.
