@Gordon hmm well you might be right about adding this kinda thing to Gadgetbridge, but I have years of experience with js and no experience with Android app dev, so... 🫤

Anyway thanks all, I'll be ordering a bangle.js today 😊

tl;dr: Don't have a Bangle.js (yet) and want to know if it'll be possible to auto add step activity to Fitbit account via Fitbit API

I'm interested in Bangle.js cuz I'm a web dev and a super customizable wearable sounds like fun. I am privacy conscious which also makes Bangle.js and Gadgetbridge appealing, but unfortunately my job uses Virgin Pulse to let employees earn money for health expenses, and it has several integration options for automatically getting your steps and whatnot. I am not going to manually add steps to Virgin Pulse, so I'm using the Fitbit integration.

I'd like to make sure it's possible to automatically add steps to Fitbit before I buy a bangle.js. So far I was thinking I'd make a bangle.js app and basically use Bangle.on('health', function(info) { ... }); so whenever that event happens, I'd do Fitbit's Create Activity Log and pass in info.steps. I might also try to do something with info.bpm to determine whether the activity is closer to walking or running but we'll see. I've played around with the Espruino IDE but haven't seen a way to simulate having Bangle.js Gadgetbridge to use its internet capabilities in order to test this. Maybe it's there and I just missed it, I don't know. Any help is appreciated.
