from GarminConnect?
I see that most of the data is already transferred correctly, is there a âAvg Sleeping HRâ in the plans
Installed and paid for the license. Was looking for a good way to sync weight into intervals and strava and this is a great solution!´
Now I just use a homescreen ios shortcut to add the weight into Apple Health and Health Sync moves it over to Intervals. Now I just need a way to update the weight in Strava but thatâs not so important.
Hi, is there a way to set default type and subtype of activity when it is synchronised? Iâm using it to sync activity from Oura ring. Mainly it is commute ride activity. But it always syncs as virtual ride without subtype.
Health Sync would need to add that. I had a look at one of those activities and there is very little info. If you could record them using a GPS device then you could use the routes functionality to make them commutes.

I started using this yesterday and it syncs my Apple Health weight to intervals which was a major gap in my data previously.
Is there anything else I should be syncâing? My activities seem to be coming across from Strava just fine.
Something very weird is happening with HealthSync and other apps.
I have cycling activities being sinchronized from Biketerra into Intervals and Strava, and Strava sync active.
Health Sync is deleting a lot of data from existing activities and I donât know why - I activated historic sync, so it would sync my weight since a few months ago.
But now all activities that were sincronized from Strava or biketerra for example have had their data deleted. Iâm seeing duplicated activities and in some cases the activity source now says HealthSync instead of the original app.
What can I do to recover my data?
Edit: the activities are still showing fine on their original apps (strava & biketerra). I believe HealthSync has overwritten the activity data since Apple Health does not have as much info as the original app. Still, how can I recover it?
Intervals.icu will replace matching Strava activities when it receives one from another source (e.g. HealthSync). It copies some stuff across and deletes the Strava activity.
You can undelete the Strava activities on Intervals.icu. Click Options on the calendar page and tick the âShow sourceâ and âDeletedâ boxes. Then just click deleted Strava activities to undelete. You can also do this in bulk from the activity list view. You can also bulk deleted the activities from the list page.
I suspect HealthSync is getting a stripped down version of the activity from somewhere.
Appreciate the feedback, David.
Yes, itâs most likey Apple Health, since I had HealthSync configured to also sync activities (I wanted it to replace Strava for certain activities, but this way I canât so now itâs disabled).
On the deleted list, I can see the Strava ones but I canât see the Biketerra versions (the ones Iâm more keen to keep).
These were uploaded from Biketerra to both Intervals and Strava (not to Intervals via Strava), and I can only find the Strava version in the Deleted lists.
I just did a test ride (having disabled the activities sync on HealthSync) and this new ride does show up. As soon as I also upload it to Strava, the Strava version shows up on the Deleted list and the Biketerra one stays unchanged.
What could cause the Biketerra version of the past activities to be completely deleted? Meaning even after HealthSync, these were there in Intervals and now theyâre not showing on the deleted list.
Iâd prefer to keep the Biketerra versions instead of the Strava ones.
For additional details, my setup was:
Strava > Intervals
Strava < > Apple Health (both ways)
Apple Health > HealthSync > Intervals
Why?
Strava > Intervals because I use a Bryton computer, they donât have Intervals sync.
Strava < > Apple Health so my apple watch and Fitness apps get updated with Strava data, anf for the activities that I record on my Apple Watch to show on Strava.
Apple Health > Health Sync > Intervals for the health data (weight and steps mostly).
I left activities sync activated on HealthSync on because I did not expect the activity data to be replaced like this on intervals, I thought it would just add to the existing data.
I can only see Biketerra activities on your calendar that have come in via Strava. Intervals.icu wonât delete activities from non-Strava sources automatically. So maybe your Biketerra stuff was just coming in via Strava?
I find that very strange - When I finish an activity on Biketerra I always upload to Intervals first (click the button, wait for OK) and then click upload to Strava.
Iâve been doing that for a while, and only now with HealthSync did I notice the activities disappearing.
Iâm going to try and re-enable the activity sync on HealthSync and see what happens to todayâs activity (if anything).
Two scenarios are possible:
- Biketerra has not been uploading to Intervals, even though they give an OK, and I always saw the Strava activities so noticed nothing strange. There was at least an instance where I saw the activity had both sources active (Biketerra + Strava) in the top right corner, I distinctly remember that, so something must have changed at some point. Weird because today I did the usual and the activity is there with both sources active!
- HealthSync is actively deleting some activities from Intervals (Would this be possible? Wouldnât they show on the deleted list?)
Yes, true. I always upload to Intervals first (click and wait for the OK) and then click upload to Strava. Never expected the upload to either to be automatic.
So I tested the sync again (reran HealthSync sync with activities turned on).
On the deleted list, only the Strava activity is visible, and on the Activities list only the HealthSync activity is visible.
Have no idea where the Biketerra activity went.
I have then tried to undelete the Strava activity, hoping I would see the Biketerra source as part of it as it initially did, but no - the Biketerra activity disappeared and now I am left with a HealthSync activity that has very poor data (due to Apple Health presumably) and the Strava one in the deleted list.
Iâll rerun the test and document the steps.
Hereâs the steps I took:
- Make sure activity sync is off on HealthSync
- Did a short activity on Biketerra
- Finish up, upload to Intervals: Activity shows on Intervals as sourced from Biketerra (id i71280331)
- Upload to Strava: Activity shows on Strava, and on Intervals it shows as sourced from both Biketerra and Strava (top right corner of the activity page) (activity ID is the same)
- There is a deleted activity with Source as Strava (as expected, id 14003293918)
- Open Strava on iPhone, make sure activity is showing on Activity list
- Open Apple Fitness app on iPhone, make sure activity is showing
- Enable activity sync on HealthSync, run sync
Outcome:
- On Intervals, original activity sourced from Biketerra is gone
- The deleted activity from Strava is still on the deleted list
- Undeleting this activity restores Strava data (as expected, since it was the strava activity on the deleted list from the moment we sincronized from biketerra > strava > intervals)
- New activity shows as sourced from HealthSync with a lot less data, with a new activity ID i71281238.
Note: visiting the original activity URL gives a 404 not found (Intervals.icu). But if I try to visit a deleted activity URL, I get a âQueued for download from Stravaâ.
So it seems at some point the original Biketerra activity is actually deleted in the process of the HealthSync sync.
I retried this with a Biketerra activity that I only uploaded to Strava.
- uploaded to strava, activity showing on intervals
- ran HealthSync
Activity from Strava was deleted, and the original activity is showing with both Strava and HealthSync as sources. Still, the persisted data is the one from HealthSync which is poor.
My conclusions:
- Thereâs still something weird happening when the data is coming from all three sources. The Biketerra activity is disappearing and the HealthSync activity is not showing all sources - expected to see all three (strava, biketerra, healthsync) but the end state is one healthsync activity ok, one deleted strava one, and a missing biketerra one.
- Iâll have to tweak my HealthSync configurations to carefully ignore all activities that might delete more complete data coming from other sources in Intervals.
- Ideally this wouldnât be an issue in Intervals, and the most complete data would be persisted instead of relying on the last source to sincronize, but that seems like a complicated issue to solve in a way that is transparent to the user.
Can someone comment on the comparison?
A few specific points/questions I had
- Some time ago HealthFit started to add (bogus) RPE values (based on HR?) to activities it uploads⌠which is really annoying. I had contacted @slizeray about turning this off, but did not get any response:-o I would hope that HealthSync would not add any such RPE?
- HeakthFit uploads activities added from Strava to Apple Health even if the original activity was from Health (Apple Training), thus having these activities as duplicates in intervals (one HealthFit plus deleted linked Strava, plus second incomplete HealthFit run through Strava in between:-() Would HealthSync allow me to only sync activities to intervals.icu that are originally from Health?
- Does HealthSync send the same/more wellness data than HealthFit?
- Does HealthSync send or allow to sync HRV/Baevskiy SI from separate/manual measurements on the AW?
I think youâre asking about filters. AFAICT, thereâs no source filter. Also AFAIK, HealthFit has filters, so Iâm surprised itâs not working for you / that you have an issue.
The âbogusâ RPE is computed by the Apple Watch.
If you think that the Apple RPE is âbogusâ I invite you to reach out to the Apple support, I am pretty sure they will be eager to fix it. Just tell them it is bogus, it is quite helpful.
Have a spectacular day.
Hi,
Use Healthsync for few days from Fitbit , HRV is sync correctly but itâs seems that the resting HR is not sync to intervals.
anyone aware of this issue?
donât expect there to be any work done on it.
