Why users want to link Xiaomi and Huawei
Xiaomiβs smart scales (particularly the popular Mi Smart Scale 2 and Xiaomi Smart Scale 3 models) are known for accurately measuring weight, body composition and integrating with the Mi Fit ecosystem. However, many Huawei smartphone owners prefer to use Huaweiβs native Health app for health monitoring β due to the user-friendly interface, synchronization with other brand devices, or the limitations of Google Mobile Services on new models.
Xiaomi and Huawei are technically competitors, and their branded apps donβt support cross-brand synchronization directly, but there are workarounds, from manual data entry to third-party services like Google Fit or Apple Health. In this article, weβll look at all the working ways of connecting, including nuances for different weight models and software versions.
Letβs warn you right away: native synchronization of Xiaomi scales with Huawei Health is impossible without intermediaries, but with the right approach, you can automate data transfer with minimal time.
Model compatibility: what scales Xiaomi can connect
Not all Xiaomi smart scales integrate equally well with third-party platforms, and here is a table of compatibility of popular models with synchronization methods:
| Model of weights | Mi Fit | Google Fit | Apple Health | Huawei Health (through intermediaries) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mi Smart Scale 1 | β | β (via Mi Fit) | β (via Mi Fit) | β οΈ Only manual input. |
| Mi Smart Scale 2 | β | β (autosynchronization) | β (autosynchronization) | β (via Google Fit) |
| Xiaomi Smart Scale 3 | β | β (autosynchronization) | β (autosynchronization) | β (Google Fit or Health Sync) |
| Xiaomi Body Composition Scale 2 | β | β (partial synchronization) | β (partial synchronization) | β οΈ Just weight, no body metrics. |
Note: Xiaomi scales with Bluetooth 5.0 (like Smart Scale 3) support more stable data transfer, which is important when synchronized through intermediaries. If your model is older than 2019, there may be problems connecting to modern Huawei smartphones (like the Mate 50 Pro or the Mate 50 Pro). P60).
Before setting up, check the version of the firmware of the scales in the Mi Fit application (Device section) β Settings β Software Update: Outdated software can block data transfers to third-party services.
Method 1: Sync through Google Fit (recommended method)
The most reliable way to automatically transfer data from Xiaomi scales to Huawei Health is to use Google Fit as an intermediary, which works for most weight models and requires minimal effort after setup.
Algorithm of action:
- Install applications: π± Mi Fit (to connect the scales) π Google Fit (for intermediate synchronization) β€οΈ Huawei Health (targeted application)

Important: sync through Google Fit can take up to 15 minutes.If the data doesn't show up in Huawei Health, check:
- π Update all applications to the latest versions.
- πΆ Turn on mobile internet or Wi-Fi β background synchronization requires a stable connection.
- π In the smartphone settings, allow auto-start and work in the background for all three applications.
β οΈ Note: On Huawei smartphones without Google Mobile Services (e.g., Mate 50 or Google Mobile Services) P50 s EMUI 12+) Google Fit may not be installed. In this case, use Method 3 (Health Sync).
Method 2: Manual data entry in Huawei Health
If automatic sync is not available (for example, because of the lack of Google Fit on your Huawei device), you can manually transfer data from Mi Fit to Huawei Health.
Step-by-step:
- Weigh on Xiaomi scales and wait until the data appears in Mi Fit.
- Open Mi Fit, go to the Weight section and record or photograph your measurements (weight, fat percentage, muscle mass, etc.).
- Open Huawei Health and Go to Health β Weight.
- Press. + (add a record) and enter the data manually, specifying the date and time of weighing.
To speed up the process, use these tips:
- π Set up weigh-in reminders in Huawei Health (Health) β Weight. β Reminders, so you donβt forget to add data.
- π To analyze the dynamics, it is enough to enter data 1-2 times a week.
- π If you have multiple devices (such as a Huawei Watch), weight data will be included in general health reports.

Create a shortcut on the home screen to quickly access Huawei Healthβs Weight section. To do this, hold your finger on the app icon and select Add to Home Screen (the title may vary depending on the version). EMUI).
β οΈ Note: When manually entered, Huawei Health can round out values (for example, the weight of 72.3 kg will become 72 kg). To avoid errors, enter data with one decimal place.
Method 3: Use of Health Sync (for advanced users)
If Google Fit is not available and manually typing is too time-consuming, try Health Sync (available on Google Play), which allows you to sync data across different health platforms, including Mi Fit and Huawei Health.
Instructions for setting:
- Install Health Sync and open it.
- In the Sources section, select Mi Fit and log in.
- In the Receiver section, select Huawei Health and sign in to your Huawei account. ID.
- Set up sync: Select data types (weight, fat percentage, etc.) Set the sync interval (every hour is recommended). Activate Auto Sync.
