Hi, 

I have a feature request. As long as you don't have your own iOS app it thus lacking native Apple Health integration, it would be super awesome if you would allow the developer of HealthFit to access ride data via the Dashboard. (I don't want to go the Strava route for health integration.) This way syncing to other partners would be possible as well. 

Kind regards

Marco

  I take it all back and claim the opposite. An "integration" of Health Fit is pointless, because the Karoo 2 .fit files imported do not show calories and therefore syncing to Apple Health makes no sense. The developer thinks that the Karoo 2 .fit files are broken, but Strava shows calories. No idea.

  Hey Marco,

  The Karoo 2 currently calculates the calories based on the data from a power meter as it is more accurate as compared to the calculations based on HR as it relies on a lot of other dynamic factors. However, it has been requested a lot by our community and we have ensured that our product team is aware of this suggestion :)

  Dear Akhil,

  thanks for letting me know! I've tried with to different .fit files. One ride with powermeter and the other one only with HR but both seem not to contain calories. Is this the way it should be?

  Kind regards

  Marco

  Hey Marco,

  We currently do not write the calorie data on the FIT files. We are looking at improving this in our future updates :)

  +1, this is constant frustration for me. Currently I have to sync to Strava, then Strava to Apple Health.

  the thing is with apple heath few apps can actually input data into it that is taken as a workout. strava is one of the main ones. so when strava gets a workout then it will go to apple heath sometimes it takes days to do so unless you open strava. but even then if you wear a apple watch is info will be the one that gets used unless you change some settings to make sure stravas data is used first.

  Please add Apple Health integration and add calories to the fit file.

  Please add sync to Healthfit because then I can get my rides into Apple Health (with the map) and Strava (with the powermeter etc).

  can someone from @hammerheadsupport respond to this? 

  Here was an official response over 4 years ago before the companion app.  with the companion app you would think that HealthKit integration would be easy

  Hi all, thank you for your continued support and patience.

  I would like to inform you that this is already in our pipeline. While we do not have a confirmed timeline at this time, it is actively being considered for upcoming releases.

  I am able to import rides into Apple Health using intervals.icu and the intervals companion app on my iPhone. 

  Hammerhead links directly to intervals.icu so all rides are uploaded automatically.

  In the Intervals.icu Companion app, under Settings/Apple Health Sync, I enable the app to push rides from Hammerhead to Apple Health.

  Works brilliantly!

  Surely this is no different from using Healthfit which has been working similarly.  But it's different from sync.
