On Android, you can set FitBit to write just about all of its data to [Health Connect](https://developer.android.com/health-and-fitness/guides/health-connect) which as its own API. ---

Hey, thank you for integrating steps into intervalls! Is the connection with health fit already possible ? HealthFit has written in the last update, that they support intervalls steps. But they won’t show up here and I see no option to turn it on, in the connection. Would be great to have it! Best Regards. ---

Awesome, I just ordered a garmin watch to auto log steps and my daily activity level. ---

I did reach out and the problem is an old iOS version that I can’t update. So if this happens for others, it is maybe because your iPhone is too old. ---

I would also appreciate getting the respiration data from Garmin. Averaging all the rates for the night seems appropriate. ---

@david any chance for including Garmin’s respiration data? ---

This steps tracking is great, gives a nice insight in consistency for daily overall activity. Plotting this versus HRV and resting HR shows some interesting trends. I was wondering if there can be an option to have this reflected into the fitness curve (like an optional steps to load setting or so). I combine it with running for recovery days, but I don’t want to track each walk activity separately. ---

Do you mean that you would like to see an automatically created Activity Load, based on steps during the day? If so, there’s a number of things to be careful with: - steps during an activity should be excluded or they would count double - simply accumulating steps during the day without much stress and purposeful walks at brisk speed represent a totally different load. One does not raise HR, while the other will. Tracking walks is fast and simple if you have a sports-watch or fitness wearable. ---

Thanks for this David. And thanks for your amazing hard work as always! Is there any possibility of Intensity Minutes from Garmin or the equivalent from other watches? ---

Garmin’s vivoactive 5 has a Health Snapshot function that records respiration as well as Pulse Ox, Stress and HRV. These sync with Connect, Intervals and TP but these latter apps omit respiration for some reason. [Previous page](https://forum.intervals.icu/t/steps-and-respiration-now-supported/63373.md?page=1)
