After unboxing the Fitbit, plug it in and charge it to 100%. After it's charged fully, leave it plugged in and near your phone while you proceed through the next steps. 

 

App Setup: Google Health

Install the Google Health app

Download the Google Health app onto your phone. The Google Health app serves as the main connection app for the Fitbit, where you manage your account, device settings, and see your data. 

Sign in to the Google Health app

Once the app is installed, open the Google Health app. When you open it for the first time, it will ask you to log in with a Google account or create a new one. Complete this process.

Complete account setup

After signing in, if you're creating a new account you'll complete your account setup by entering profile details and reviewing agreements from Google. Finally, you will arrive on a screen that says, "How would you like to track your health?"

If you are a returning Google Health user, you can get here by clicking the "Connections" icon in the top left from the homepage. 

Select the "Connect a Fitbit smartwatch, or tracker, or a scale" option.

Set up your wearable

You'll be brought to a "Select Device" screen. Select the Trackers filter, and then select Inspire 3 at the top of the list. Select "Start Setup" to begin the Fitbit setup process.

Connect your wearable to your Google Health account

A four-digit code will appear on the Fitbit Inspire 3's display. Review the code and then enter it on the screen. Once the code is entered, your Fitbit will begin to connect to the Google Health app. Keep the Fitbit plugged into its charger and close to your phone.

Once the process is almost done, you'll receive a pop-up for a Bluetooth pairing request. Select "Pair" and then, on the second dialog, select the option you prefer for notifications.

You'll land on a screen that says, "Your Fitbit Inspire 3 is ready." Your connection was successful if you see this screen.

Select "Get to Know Inspire 3" to go through a tutorial about how to use the device and best take care of it.

You might be offered the ability to sign up for Google Health Premium. This is not required for the pilot, but it is up to you if you would like to subscribe.

Connecting Google Health to Apple Health

Download the Apple Health app

Ensure the Apple Health app is downloaded onto your phone. The Apple Health app is usually installed by default on iPhones. 

The Apple Health app is the connection point for the Matter and Space app to your Fitbit.

Connect Google Health to Apple Health

From the homepage of the Google Health app, click your profile icon in the top right corner. In the pop-up that opens, find the "Partner Apps" menu option. Click it to open it.

From the Partner Apps menu, click "Apple Health". On the "Sync with Apple Health" page, press the "Get Started' button.

Agree to the syncing, and then select all the data that you would like to pass from Google Health into Apple Health.

We recommend clicking "Allow" for all data, because this establishes the full connection between Google and Apple Health. You can always adjust what data you share with the Matter and Space app when you connect to it later.

Confirm the Connection was Successful

In order to confirm the Google Health to Apple Health connection was successful, click the button and follow the steps on the screen to open Apple Health, tap your profile picture on the top right, select Apps in the Privacy section, and select Google Health. Turn on all settings, or choose the settings you want enabled.
