Command to initiate search for ANT weight scale measurement
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Just found this project and I'm very happy I have one less reason to boot into Windows.
My request is to be able to run a script that initiates the search for an ANT compatible weight scale (Tanita BC-1000) with a configurable delay and saves the results to the weight .FIT file. Right now I am using a FR-70 to initiate the search for the scale, then have to download from the FR-70 to the computer. It would be nice to bypass watch intermediate step.
Hi! It is probably better to base this of https://github.com/Tigge/openant, it will probably be something similar to https://github.com/Tigge/openant/blob/master/examples/hearth_rate_monitor.py since that uses ANT+ and I guess that the scale uses ANT+ as well. The example covers part of the Hearth Rate Monitor profile and your scale probably uses the Weight Scale profile. Unfortunately the ANT+ part of openant is not done yet so until then you'll have to become an ANT Adopter at http://thisisant.com and look through the documentation and do some additional programming.
Closing this. Feel free to contact me again (email or here) or open an issue in openant.
