Why Xiaomi Libras Don’t Want to Work with Huawei Health – and How to Fix It
Xiaomi’s smart scales (including the popular Mi Smart Scale 2, Xiaomi Body Composition Scale 2, and Mi Scale 3) are originally designed to sync with the branded Mi Fit app (now Zepp Life).However, many users prefer to use Huawei Health — especially if they already have other gadgets in the Huawei ecosystem (smart watches, fitness bracelets).
In this article, we will look at all the working ways Xiaomi scales can connect to Huawei Health, from standard data export through third-party services to manual file synchronization, and learn which scale models are compatible, why pairing errors can occur, and how to fix them without resetting.
Important: If you use Xiaomi scales with iPhone, the process of connecting to Huawei Health will be different – we will talk about this in a separate section.
What Xiaomi scales can be connected to Huawei Health
Not all Xiaomi smart scales support integration with Huawei Health, even through workarounds. Below is the compatibility table of popular models:
| Model of weights | Direct connection | Exports via Mi Fit | Manual data unloading |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mi Smart Scale 2 | ❌ No. | ✅ Yes (via Google Fit) | ✅ Yes (CSV/Excel) |
| Xiaomi Body Composition Scale 2 | ❌ No. | ✅ Yes (via Apple Health on iOS) | ✅ Yes (JSON/Excel) |
| Mi Scale 3 | ❌ No. | ✅ Yes (via Google Fit or Apple Health) | ✅ Yes (automatically) |
| Xiaomi Smart Scale 2 (European version) | ❌ No. | ✅ Yes, only Google Fit) | ⚠️ Partially (no body composition data available) |
If your model is not in the table, check its compatibility through the official Xiaomi website or the Mi Fit app. Libras released after 2022 (for example, Xiaomi Smart Scale 3 Pro) may have additional restrictions due to changes in the API.
⚠️ Attention: Xiaomi Libra with firmware MIUI Fit 4.6+ They can block data export to third-party applications, in which case they will need to roll back the firmware or use alternative methods.
Method 1: Sync with Google Fit (for Android)
The most reliable way to transfer data from Xiaomi scales to Huawei Health is to use Google Fit as an intermediary, which works on most Android smartphones (including Huawei, Xiaomi, Samsung) and does not require manual data entry.
Algorithm of action:
- Install applications: 📱 Mi Fit (or Zepp Life) – new name 🏃 Google Fit - link ❤️ Huawei Health - link
- Connect the scales to Mi Fit (if you haven't already). To do this: Open Mi Fit → Profile → Add device. Select your scale model and follow the instructions on the screen. Stand on the scale for the first weighing (the data will appear in the app).
- Set up Mi Fit export to Google Fit: In Mi Fit, go to Profile → Settings → Accounts and Sync. Select Google Fit and log in through your Google account. Allow access to weight, body composition and activity data.
Huawei Health
- Open Huawei Health → Profile → Settings → Accounts and Sync.
- Select Google Fit and allow access.
- Wait until the first synchronization is completed (it can take up to 10 minutes).
- Save the tape.
To simplify the process, you can export data from Mi Fit to a file and then import it to Huawei Health.
How to export data from Mi Fit to CSV
The downside to this method is that you don't automatically synchronize, but if you weigh infrequently (like once a week), manual input may be more convenient than setting up complex integrations.

Method 3: Use of third-party applications (for advanced users)
If standard methods do not work, you can use third-party services to synchronize data.
- 🔄 Health Sync (Android) — allows you to transfer data between Mi Fit, Google Fit and Huawei Health in both directions. Supports automatic synchronization on a schedule.
- 🌐 Apple Health (for iPhone) – If you have an iPhone, you can first export data from Mi Fit to Apple Health and then to Huawei Health through the Huawei Health Kit app.
- 📊 SyncSolver is a cloud-based tool for transferring data between fitness platforms, requiring registration and manual setup. API-Website: syncsolver.com Supports Mi Fit, Google Fit, Huawei Health and more.
Third-party apps have the advantage of flexibility in settings, such as Health Sync, which options to sync (weight, fat, muscle, water, bone mass) and adjust the frequency of updates.
However, there are risks:
- 🔒 Possible privacy issues (data stored on third-party servers).
- 💰 Some features are only available in paid versions.
- 🛠️ When you update applications, sync may break (manual reconfiguration required).
💡
Before using third-party services, check user reviews for the past 2-3 months.Some apps stop supporting integration with Huawei Health after API updates.
Why Xiaomi scales are not connected to Huawei Health: common mistakes and solutions
Even with the right setup, synchronization may not work, and here are the most common problems and ways to fix them:
| Problem. | Possible cause | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| Libra is not in Huawei Health after syncing | Data is exported to Google Fit, but not imported into Huawei Health | Check if imports from Google Fit are allowed in Huawei Health settings. Update both apps to the latest version. Reboot your smartphone. |
| Huawei Health only displays weight, no body composition data | Mi Fit doesn’t export advanced metrics to Google Fit | In Mi Fit, go to Profile → Settings → Accounts and Sync → Google Fit. Make sure all available options (fat, muscle, water, bone mass) are enabled. If you don’t have options, update the firmware of the scales through Mi Fit. |
| Error "Can't synchronize data" | Account conflict or outdated cache data | In your smartphone settings, delete the cache for Mi Fit, Google Fit, and Huawei Health. Disable and reconnect Google and Huawei accounts in your phone settings. Try using another sync method (like Health Sync). |
| Libras are connected, but data is not updated | Problems with Bluetooth or background activity of applications | In your smartphone settings, allow Mi Fit and Huawei Health to run in the background. Turn off the power saving mode for these apps. Reconnect the scales to Mi Fit (forget the device and re-address). |
If none of these things worked, try to lose weight to the factory settings.
- Hold the switch on the scale for 10 seconds (until the indicator flashes).
- Open Mi Fit and remove the device from the list.
- Reconnect the scales and re-set the synchronization.
⚠️ Note: After the weights are reset, all previously stored data in Mi Fit will remain, but the new weightings will not sync until you reset the export.
Features of connection on iPhone (iOS)
On the iPhone, the process of synchronizing Xiaomi’s weights with Huawei Health is complicated by Apple’s restrictions on the background of applications.
Method 1: Apple Health (recommended):
- Install Mi Fit and connect the scales.
- In Mi Fit, allow data export to Apple Health: Go to Profile → Settings → Apple Health. Include all available options (weight, percentage of fat, etc.).
Huawei Health
Apple Health
- Open Huawei Health → Profile → Settings → Accounts and Sync → Apple Health.
- Allow access to data on body weight and composition.
- Wait for the first synchronization (it can take up to 30 minutes).
Important: On iPhone, background sync may not work properly due to iOS limitations. If the data isn't updated, try:
- Open Mi Fit and Huawei Health manually for forced synchronization.
- Enable notifications for both applications.
- Update applications to the latest versions.
💡
On the iPhone, the most reliable way is synchronization through Apple Health, as it is supported officially and rarely fails.
How to check that the data is transmitted correctly
After setting up the synchronization, it is important to make sure that all parameters are transmitted without errors.
- Compare the data in the apps: Weigh on Xiaomi scales and wait for the update in Mi Fit. Open Huawei Health and find a new entry in the Weight tab. Check the values of weight, percentage of fat, muscle and water - they must match (an error of ±0.1 kg is allowed).
- Check the history of changes: In Huawei Health, go to Weight → Graph. Make sure new data is added to the story (does not replace old ones).
Stability test:
- Perform 2-3 weightings in a row with an interval of 5 minutes.
- Check if all entries are displayed in Huawei Health.
- If some data is missing, the problem is with export settings.
If the data is not transmitted correctly (for example, weight is displayed in pounds instead of kilograms), check:
- 📏 Measurement units in Mi Fit and Huawei Health settings (must match).
- 🕒 Time zone on a smartphone (if it is incorrect, records may be duplicated or disappear).
- 🔄 Synchronization mode in third-party applications (for example, Health Sync can enable a filter by date).
If there are any differences after the test, try:
- Remove and re-introduce the scales in Mi Fit.
- Disable and reconnect sync with Google Fit/Apple Health.
- Use another method of data transmission (e.g. manual export to CSV).
