Hello happy Fitbit People!
So, a common problem people have is that they dont want to keep their fitbit on an all day sync schedule and drain the battery that much faster. I also wanted to automate the advantages of the Fitbit to do certain things based on a certain time.
You can do this NOW! You dont have to wait for Fitbit to hear your cries for an independent sync schedule.
You will need the following...
1. Phone (duh) - rooted helps (a lot) but not a complete deal breaker
2. Install and Load Macrodroid

3. Configure Macrodroid as noted. I have attached an image of how I have mine set up......
4. Install IFTTT and send an alert when I have enough sleep logged.

5. Profit!!!
Turn off 'all day sync' on your Fitbit app, but leave on 'always connected'.
I have it set to NOT sync until the screen turns off so I dont have the annoying Fitbit app pop up (and I HATE that Fitbit puts 'ads' in the app for whatever new device they have.. .I mean c'mon! I already have your device cuz I am using the app! Why are you pushing more ads on me!!!!)
So it back spaces twice to ensure no ads are left on the screen when I turn it back on.
Mine will sync every 2 hours or so... but only during my normal 'wake cycle'. It will also toggle the Bluetooth in case I had lost a connection during that time (like if I leave my phone home when I go to the gym). It will also note when I wake up in the morning and if it is during a weekday it will send a good morning text to all my friends that I keep in touch with. I have the voice notifications because it strangely wakes me up right before my alarm goes off and because I dig knowing it is working.... You don't have to use them.
I also use white noise apps on my devices when I sleep so this process kills all of them so that I will hear my alarm (and dont have to bother turning them all off)
I am getting 5 days or so battery life and keeping good connectivity with my Note 3 running a Nougat ROM.
**** I take no credit for the apps I am using, nor am I a developer.. I take no responsibility for any changes or loss of data or if you miss that phone call for a job interview!!! ****
