Frequently Asked Questions
Disconnection Issue with VeSync App
A common issue users face is the VeSync app showing "disconnected" constantly. This happens because the scale powers off 20 seconds after displaying your body indexes to save power. To reconnect, simply turn the scale back on and open the app.
Using the Scale for Multiple Users
The Etekcity Smart Scale can accommodate multiple users in two ways. First, multiple users can have separate VeSync accounts, although only five accounts can pair with the smart scale at a time. Second, multiple users can share a single VeSync account, where each user can create their own profile. Users can log in from their own smartphones to the same account without requiring others to log out.
Firmware Update Process
Updating the firmware of the Etekcity Smart Scale involves a few straightforward steps. First, ensure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on. Then, light up the scale and open the app. Click the scale picture to go to the device page and wait for it to connect to Bluetooth. A blue Bluetooth icon will appear on the screen display when connected. Follow the in-app instructions to complete the firmware update, and make sure the scale display does not turn off during this process.
Additional Notes
The scale requires an operating system of iOS® 12.0+ or Android™ 6.0+. It's important to note that iPhone and Apple Watch shown in images are not included with the product. Additionally, only body weight data can be synced with MyFitnessPal, as the app does not allow syncing of all data to VeSync. For pregnant users or those using medical electronic equipment like a pacemaker, it is advised to consult a healthcare professional before using the smart scale.
Conclusion
The Etekcity Smart Scale for Body Weight Fat is a comprehensive and user-friendly device that offers accurate BMI and muscle mass composition tracking. Its compatibility with Apple Health and the ability to support multiple users makes it a valuable addition to any home fitness routine. While there are minor connectivity issues and limitations with MyFitnessPal sync, the overall functionality and ease of use make this smart scale a solid choice for those looking to track their fitness progress accurately.
