Connecting Xiaomi Libras to Huawei Health: A Complete Guide to Solving Typical Problems

Why to sync Xiaomi and Huawei: advantages and pitfalls

Xiaomi’s smart scales (Mi Body Composition Scale 2, Smart Scale 2, or Mi Scale) are initially focused on the Mi Fit/Zepp Life ecosystem. However, many users prefer to centralize health data in one app β€” for example, Huawei Health, which offers deeper sleep analytics, activity, and even integration with medical services.

In this article, we will discuss three working ways to connect Xiaomi scales to Huawei Health: through third-party services (such as Google Fit), manual data addition, and alternative protocols (for advanced users). You'll also learn which scale models are 100% compatible and where workarounds will be required. We warn you that the process is not always easy, but the result is worth the effort - the only application that will contain both weight data, steps from the Huawei Band, and pulse from the Watch. GT.

It’s important to understand that Huawei Health doesn’t have a direct API to connect Xiaomi devices, so all methods are based on intermediate services or manual input. If you want automatic synchronization without unnecessary actions, consider buying Huawei scales (like Huawei Smart Scale 3).

Method 1: Sync with Google Fit (the most reliable method)

This method works for all Xiaomi weight models, as it uses the universal Google Fit protocol. Fit/Zepp Life, then automatically transferred to Google Fit, and from there to Huawei Health. 10–30 minute.

Step-by-step:

  1. Install all the necessary applications: πŸ“± Mi Fit or Zepp Life (to connect weights) 🌐 Google Fit (intermediate service) βš•οΈ Huawei Health (targeted application)
  2. Connect the scales to Mi Fit: Open Mi Fit, click Profile β†’ Add device β†’ Libra. Follow the instructions on the screen (usually you need to stand on the scale to send test data).

Google Fit

Huawei Health

  • Open Huawei Health, click I β†’ Settings β†’ Data Management β†’ Connected apps.
  • Find Google Fit in the list and log in.
  • Allow access to data on body weight and composition.

⚠️ Note: If data does not appear in Huawei Health, check it out:

πŸ”„ Update all apps to the latest versions (especially Google Fit). πŸ“Ά Make sure your phone is on Wi-Fi or mobile internet – sync only works online. πŸ•’ Wait up to 24 hours – sometimes the first synchronization takes a long time.

Method 2: Manually add data (if the automation is not working)

If sync through Google Fit fails (for example, due to regional limitations or API errors), you can enter data manually.This is less convenient, but guarantees 100% accuracy.

How it works:

  1. Weigh yourself on Xiaomi scales and write down the indicators (weight, percentage of fat, muscle mass, etc.).
  2. Open Huawei Health and go to Health β†’ Weight.
  3. Click on the + icon in the upper right corner and select Add entry.
  4. Enter the data manually, specifying the date and time of weighing.

πŸ”Ή Tip: To speed up the process, use voice input (available in new versions of Huawei Health). For example, say, "Add 72 kilograms for today" - the application will fill the fields itself.

πŸ’‘

Create a Huawei Health widget on the home screen of your smartphone, allowing you to quickly add weight data without opening the app.

⚠️ Note: When manually entering, Huawei Health does not take into account some of the metrics available in Mi Fit (such as body water level or bone mass).If these metrics are important, use Method 1 or consider buying Huawei scales.

Method 3: Alternative protocols (for advanced users)

If you're not afraid of experimentation, you can try connecting Xiaomi scales directly via Bluetooth LE using third-party tools, which requires root rights or special applications like Mi Bandage (for Android), but gives you more control over data.

Step-by-step instructions for Android:

  1. Install the Mi Bandage app from 4PDA (it works with Xiaomi devices at the protocol level).
  2. Turn on the developer mode on your phone and allow debugging over USB.
  3. Connect the scales to the Mi Bandage via Bluetooth (in the Devices menu β†’ Add).
  4. Set up data export to Huawei Health via Tasker or Automate (you will need to create a script).

πŸ“Œ Warning: This method can disrupt the stability of scales or phones, and we don’t recommend using it on major devices, and note that Huawei Health may block data from unconfirmed sources.

How do you check if your scales support alternative protocols?
Open nRF Connect and check if your scales are on the list, and if so, you can connect them via Mi Bandage or similar tools.

Compatibility table: what scales Xiaomi works with Huawei Health

Not all Xiaomi scales sync equally well with Huawei Health, and below is a compatibility table with all three of the methods described:

Model of weightsGoogle FitManual inputAlternative protocolsNotes
Mi Body Composition Scale 2βœ… Yes.βœ… Yes.βœ… Yes.Best compatibility, supports all metrics
Xiaomi Smart Scale 2βœ… Yes.βœ… Yes.⚠️ Partially.Can't transfer muscle mass through Google Fit
Mi Scale 1βœ… Yes.βœ… Yes.❌ No.Outdated model, only basic metrics
Xiaomi Mi Scale V2βœ… Yes.βœ… Yes.βœ… Yes.Requires the latest version of Mi Fit

πŸ”Ή If you have Mi Body Composition Scale 2 or Mi Scale V2, For older models (Mi Scale 1), it is better to use manual input or consider buying new weights.

Typical errors and their solutions

Even if you set it up properly, you can have failures, and here are the most common problems and ways to fix them:

  • πŸ”΄ Data is not synced via Google Fit: Check that Mi Fit and Huawei Health share a single Google account. Disable and enable sync again in both apps. Delete and reinstall Google Fit.
  • πŸ”΄ Libras don't connect to Mi Fit: Make sure Bluetooth is on and the scales are near the phone. Reset the scales to factory settings (press and hold the Reset button on the back). Update the firmware of the scales via Mi Fit.
  • πŸ”΄ Huawei Health does not accept data from Google Fit: Check that Huawei Health allows the import of data from third-party sources (Settings) β†’ Make sure that the Huawei Health version is no older than 12.0.0 (older versions had synchronization bugs).

⚠️ Note: If after all the manipulations, the data does not appear in Huawei Health, try changing the account region in the phone settings. For example, some features of Google Fit are limited in Russia, but work stable in the US or Europe region.

Alternative applications for synchronization

If none of the methods worked, consider the side of the application that can aggregate data from different sources:

  • πŸ“Š Apple Health (for iPhone): Syncs with Mi Fit and Huawei Health via Google Fit. Supports data export to the Internet CSV analyse.

πŸ’‘ Tip: If you use an iPhone, the easiest way to set up a chain is to: Mi Fit β†’ Apple Health β†’ Huawei Health. To do this, enable sync with Apple Health in Mi Fit, and in Huawei Health, connect Apple Health as a data source.

FAQ: Frequent questions about connecting Xiaomi scales to Huawei Health

Can Xiaomi scales be connected to Huawei Health without Google Fit?
Yes, but only manually (Method 2) or through alternative protocols (Method 3), and automatic synchronization without Google Fit is only possible with third-party applications like SyncSolver.
Why is Huawei Health not showing fat percentage when Mi Fit has it?
This is a limitation of Google Fit, which doesn't pass all metrics. To keep the full data, use manual input or consider buying Huawei scales that support all parameters.
Do I need to keep Bluetooth on all the time to sync?
No, Google Fit syncs data over the Internet, not Bluetooth, but Bluetooth must be enabled to initially connect the scales to the Mi Fit.
Can Xiaomi scales be connected to Huawei Health on iPhone?
Yes, but the scheme is different: Mi Fit β†’ Apple Health β†’ Huawei Health. In Mi Fit, include exports to Apple Health, and in Huawei Health, connect Apple Health as a source.
What if Xiaomi’s scales are not determined by the phone?
Try the following steps: Reset the phone and scales (remove the batteries for 10 seconds); make sure the scales are not connected to another device; upgrade the Mi Fit to the latest version; reset the scales to factory settings (reset button on the back).
