Now that google have released the fitbit air, whoop competitor and are massively overhauling there health/fitbit api are there any plans to add this as a integration in the same way that whoop is?
EDIT: I guess my reason for asking is that I use the pixel watch 3 for wellness and some activity tracking. The new google health api seems to support more data fields, for example there seems to be currently no way of getting recorded swims out of fitbit but the documentation seems to suggest that the new api has some of this capability . This could also negate the need to use a third party app such as strava to get other activitys into intervals
I could be wrong but in the settings there is already a Google Fit integration. Iām not sure if there is a back and forth to Google from Intervals.icu in return to have say bike/run data from a Garmin/Wahoo device.
Itās easy to do via API and some cron jobs or agentic access.
Of course it means you have high level analysis data in 2 places, but if you want to use the new Google health app for some reason over intervals.icu (maybe pretty graphics or the subscriber only decent AI analysis) then it would work.
So is the Fitbit Air now the best and cheapest fitness strap that can upload to Intervals.icu? I think we can assume that when Garminās version comes out it will cost more and probably not play as nicely with others.
As far as I understand it Google will discontinue its āGoogle Fit APIā by the end of 2026 (the one that can be connected to intervals.icu). Instead they released the all-new āGoogle Health APIā, which to my understanding includes also more data points. Google Health API currently is not available as a connection within intervals.icu (please correct me if Iām wrong).
If youāre on Android, my app syncs Google Health data directly to Intervals.icu. It uses Health Connect, so feel free to give it a shot with the new Fitbit Air.
By the way, I think this is a ābusiness sweet spotā for intervals.icu. Intervals could break up the closed ecosystems of Garmin and the like, enabling an easy mix of different hardware vendors for the casual user (not having checked all the T&Cs though). I think Google is trying to move there, although their Google Health pro features currently require Fitbit hardware. Intervals ājustā needs a nice and clean beginner-level interface in a mobile app (like subintervals), some nice dashboards and a daily morning report, putting everything together from all the different platforms. I know this is as far away as it gets from where intervals started - but I also think this could potentially create some serious business.
Iāll push this forward (no promises yet)
