Troubleshooting

Fitbit Connection Issues

Fix Fitbit sync problems

Fitbit not syncing with RiseWell? Try these fixes.

Check Fitbit Sync

First, ensure Fitbit itself is syncing:

1. Open Fitbit app

2. Pull down to sync device

3. Wait for sync complete

RiseWell gets data from Fitbit servers, not directly from your device.

Re-Authorize Connection

1. RiseWell > Profile > Connected Apps

2. Tap Fitbit > Disconnect

3. Reconnect and re-authorize

4. Wait for initial sync

Fitbit Account Status

Check that:

  • Fitbit account is active
  • You can log into Fitbit.com
  • Fitbit app shows recent data

Data Delay

Fitbit data can take time:

  • Sync Fitbit device to Fitbit app first
  • Wait 15-30 minutes
  • Check RiseWell again

Specific Data Not Syncing

Sleep: Must complete in Fitbit before syncing

Workouts: Exercise must be logged/tracked

Steps: Should sync if any data is syncing

Connection Revoked

Sometimes Fitbit connections expire:

  • Check connected apps in Fitbit app
  • Look for RiseWell
  • Re-authorize if missing

Fitbit Outages

Occasionally Fitbit has server issues:

  • Check status.fitbit.com
  • Wait and try later if there's an outage
