Send Wahoo fit files to Garmin Connect

A docker image to synchronize fit files coming from Wahoo devices to GarminConnect using dropbox

The problem i tried to solve

I have been a Garmin device user for a long time. I swithed to Wahoo bike unit after my 1030 died. But unfortunatly, there is no bridge from Wahoo Companion directly to Garmin Connect. I synchronize everything with Strava but use Garmin Connect to check my km done on each bike and componants.

I didn't want to continue to synchronize manually once a week my activity between these 2 plateforms.

What you need

I use auto export functionality to DropBox directly from Wahoo compagnon app
Declare an application on Dropbox developer site web
~~A scheduler to ping your docker container to upload activities to Garmin Connect~~

Step by step Guide

1. On your wahoo compagnon app

You need to synchronize your Wahoo companion app with your dropbox account. If you don't have a Dropbox account, you can create one here : https://www.dropbox.com

Then, go to your Wahoo app -> Profile -> Connected Apps -> find dropbox entry in the list -> connect the app to dropbox with your account

Here, when you finish your next activty, a fit file will be directly send to your dropbox cloud account. You can also synchronize your past activities by clicking on "Send training" in the history tab.

2. Install your docker image

The docker image is available at this place : https://hub.docker.com/r/banzzouille/wahoo-fit-to-garmin

These are the parameters to use it. it exposes the port 80.

docker run -d --name='wahoo-fit-to-garmin'
                -e 'DropboxAppName'='YourAppName' 
                -e 'DropboxAppToken'='YourAppToken' 
                -e 'DropboxAppSecret'=YourAppSecret' 
                -e 'GarminConnectUserName'='YourUserName' 
                -e 'GarminConnectPassword'='YourPassword' 
                'banzzouille/wahoo-fit-to-garmin'

It's your reponsability to make it accessible from the internet because dropbox will ping your docker image when a new file will appear. When a new fit file will be dropped in the "WahooFitness" folder, the docker image will download all the fit files found in this folder, and delete it.

3. Declare a DropBox app

You need to declare your own dropbox application to be able to work with your file through this docker image.

First, register to this web site https://www.dropbox.com/developers/

Click on Console App link

Create your own app.

In the permissions section, make your file readable and writable.

Then copy your app key secret and generated token for futur uses.

Create a webhook to ping your image automatically when a new file arrives on your dropbox account The end of this url has to be /dropbox

4. Automate the upload file to Garmin Connect

YOU DON'T NEED THIS ANYMORE !!!
(New fit file will be push to garmin connect directly after file download on dropbox notification)

Today, I use tool to check and monitor my website named Ciao : https://brotandgames.com/ciao/

I just add a new entry like this

You have to ping an url finishing by /garmin to upload one by one the previously downloaded fit files. In this example, i do this every 5 minutes

With this installation, you will be now able to synchronize your Wahoo activities directly to Garmin Connect.
