A common request is to be able to sync Garmin data to Lifesum. While the product and development teams work on adding this capability directly in the app, there is a workaround. Which is to connect Garmin to Lifesum via Health Connect.
We know, there is no possible direct integration between Health Connect and Garmin, but the connection can be made via an app called Health Sync (this is not an official partner app).
This app works as a bridge between the two apps, and after this you can connect Lifesum to Health Connect and from there import the data from Garmin.
Just follow the instructions when downloading the Health Sync app. Note that a paid version of their app may be necessary.
- Download Health Connect from Play Store.
- Download the app Health Sync from Play Store. Follow the instructions regarding which app should be the source to sync from, also which app/apps to be the source to sync to.
- Connect Lifesum to Health Connect in the Lifesum app and make sure to tick in all relevant data you want to import from the Health Connect app.
- When the Garmin Connect app is connected via Health Sync there is no way to force a manual sync, it will happen by itself as soon as you open the Health Sync app.
- To get the data imported to the Lifesum app you may need to force sync it.
- Go to the Progress tab.
- Go to your Profile.
- Go to the Settings.
- Scroll down to Automatic Tracking
- Tap Sync.
We are aware of that this is a workaround and not an optimal solution.
