Getting Heartrate from Samsung to Fit

[recDNA]

My primary exercise app is Google fit because I have used heart points for many years to meet my goals.

I have an s26u for Samsung Health which reads steps and heartrate data fro Galaxy watch 5 pro.

The problem is Samsung doesn't allow fit, which is installed on my watch, to read heartrate which is constantly read and recorded by samsung health on watch with syncs with Samsung Health on s26u.

Enter google health connect app to read and share data from samsung health on s26u to google fit. Fit needs constant pulserate and activity data to assign heart points accurately.

The trick is to set up Health connect permissions perfectly to allow fit to read heartrate.

I have it set so Samsung writes all data to health connect and reads all data from Health connect. Fit is set to only read all data. NOPE. Now I lost all steps recorded by fit. So I allowed fit to read all data and write steps and activity.

At first it worked and fit gave me bonus pts and normal heart points. Then steps in fit goes to zero and I lose all bonus points. Then fit only records steps for the rest of the day. The steps keep changing in fit and reverting to 0.

Can anyone tell me the correct setup in health connect so Fit gets and keeps both steps and pulserate data all day?

Every time I mess with a setting in health connect I lose all my steps!!! I'd like fit to read steps and heartrate from samsung health but it apparently can read pulse but not steps from samsung health?

Does anyone know how to set this up so everything works?

Maybe permission(s) in Samsung Health are causing Fit to get the zero steps in the event Health Connect is trying to read the steps from Samsung Health and Health permission may have unknowingly after an update reverted to no read access?

I'm not sure why Samsung Health needs to have read from Health Connect since Samsung Health is the primary activity and health data source.

Please know these are just initial thoughts and in no way being critical about the issues you are experiencing as I would also be frustrated, or troubleshooting you can done so far. I do hope you get this solved as I'm sure your configuration once working as expected will help others.

The article below does suggest to contact Google Health Connect via the send feedback option, so maybe someone at Google Health Connect team could assist.

The bigger question is why does Fit have to have write permission at all yet without it Fit reads 0 steps.

Try to clear cache and data from Health Connect and then add all permissions again. I had issues too between Samsung Health and Google Fit and that helped.

What are your settings in Health Connect for which things read and or written for Fit and Samsung Health?
