How to connect Xiaomi scales to Huawei Health: all ways to sync

Synchronizing Xiaomi’s smart scales with Huawei’s ecosystem is a task that seems simple at first glance, but in practice faces technical limitations.Gateline makers often block cross-platform integration to keep users in their ecosystem. However, there are workarounds to transfer data from the Mi Smart Scale 2, Xiaomi Body Composition Scale 2 or other models directly to the Huawei Health app.

The main problem is that Huawei Health officially only supports its own devices (such as Huawei Smart Scale 3 scales) and a limited list of partner brands. However, with the help of third-party services like Google Fit, Apple Health (for iOS), or specialized applications-bridges, you can automatically transfer data. In this article, we will discuss all the current ways from direct connection via Mi Fit to using intermediate platforms.

If you use Xiaomi scales older than 2020, note that some models (such as the Mi Scale 1) may not support modern synchronization protocols. In this case, you will need to update the firmware or purchase an adapter. It is also important to check the version of the Huawei Health application - older versions (below 12.0.0) do not support third-party integrations.

1. Preparing Xiaomi scales for synchronization

Before you connect the scales to Huawei Health, you need to make sure they work correctly in your native Mi Fit or Zepp Life app (depending on the model).

✅ Check model compatibility. Not all Xiaomi scales support data export. For example, Mi Body Composition Scale 2 transfers data to Google Fit, and Mi Smart Scale 2 only to Mi Fit.

✅ Update the firmware of the scales. Go to the Mi Fit app, select your scales from the list of devices and check for updates in the Settings section. → Update firmware. Outdated software can block synchronization.

✅ Set up a user profile. In Mi Fit or Zepp Life, fill in all the parameters: height, age, gender. This is critical, because Huawei Health will use this data to calculate metrics (for example, body mass index or percentage of fat).

• 📱 Install the latest versions of the apps: Mi Fit (for older models) or Zepp Life (for newer ones).
• 🔄 Reset the scales to factory settings if they were previously connected to another device. To do this, press and hold the 10 seconds switch on.
• 🌐 Connect the scale to Wi-Fi (if the model supports) This is for sync through the cloud.

⚠️ Note: If you use Xiaomi scales with iPhone, note that Huawei Health for iOS has a stripped down functionality.

2. Method 1: Synchronize with Google Fit (for Android)

The most reliable method for Android smartphone owners is to use Google Fit as an intermediary. Fit/Zepp Life, and with Huawei Health.

Step 1. Connect the scales to Google Fit:

1. Open the Mi Fit or Zepp Life app.
2. Go to Profile → Settings → Accounts and Synchronization.
3. Select Google Fit and log in to your Google account.
4. Allow export of data on weight, body composition and activity.

Step 2: Set up importation in Huawei Health:

1. Open Huawei Health and go to Profile → Settings → Data management.
2. Select Google Fit and sign in to the same Google account as you do in Mi Fit.
3. Activate synchronization of data on weight and body composition.

⏳ Sync time can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. To speed up the process, open Google Fit, go to Profile. → Settings → Manage connected applications and manually update data.

⚠️ Warning: If data doesn't show up in Huawei Health, check to see if the energy-saving mode on your smartphone blocks apps from running in the background. add Google Fit and Huawei Health to the exclusion list.

Method 2: Direct connection via Zepp Life (for newer models)

If you use a next-generation Xiaomi scale (e.g., Xiaomi Smart Scale 2 or Body Composition Scale 2), it can be connected to Huawei Health directly through the Zepp Life app, a method that works because Zepp (a subsidiary of Huami, a Xiaomi partner) has a compatibility agreement with Huawei.

Instructions:

1. Install the Zepp Life app (available on Google Play and App Store).
2. Add scales to Zepp Life through Devices → Add the device.
3. At Huawei Health, Go to Devices → Add the device → Libra.
4. In the list of available devices, select your Xiaomi model (it can be displayed as Mi Scale or Zepp Scale).
5. Follow the instructions on the screen for pairing.

🔹 Advantages of the method:

• ⚡ Quick synchronization without intermediaries.
• 📊 Support for all metrics (weight, BMI, muscle mass, water in the body, etc.).
• 🔄 Automatic update of data at each weighing.

❌ Limitations:

• It only works with scales supported by Zepp Life (see the list of models here).
• On iOS, manual synchronization may be required.

💡

If your weight model doesn’t appear on the compatible device list in Huawei Health, try changing the app region to China in your Huawei account settings.

Method 3: Using third-party bridge applications

If the first two methods didn’t work, you can use specialized applications that redirect data from Mi Fit to Huawei Health.

• 🔗 Health Sync (Android) – supports synchronization between 50 and 5+ Services including Mi Fit, Google Fit and Huawei Health.
• 🔗 SyncSolver (Android/iOS) — plugins for automatic data transfer.
• 🔗 Apple Health (iOS) – If you have an iPhone, you can export the data to Apple Health first and then to Huawei Health.

Example of settings through Health Sync:

1. Install Health Sync from Google Play.
2. In the Data Source section, select Mi Fit and log in.
3. In the Destination section, select Huawei Health.
4. Set the synchronization frequency (every hour is recommended).
5. Run manual synchronization for verification.

⚠️ Important: Bridge apps may charge for premium features (e.g., automatic sync more than 1 time per day) and may request access to personal data – only use trusted services with high ratings.

5. Solving synchronization problems

If data is not transmitted or transmitted incorrectly, check the following points:

🔍 Libra doesn't connect to the phone:

• 📶 Make sure that Bluetooth is on and the scales are within a radius of 2 meters from the smartphone.
• 🔋 Replace batteries in weights (even if the indicator shows charge).
• 🔄 Reboot your smartphone and scales (take out and insert batteries).

📉 Huawei Health data not updated:

• 🔄 In Mi Fit/Zepp Life manually update data (shake phone or press Sync).
• 📱 Check the Huawei Health Permits in the Settings Android/iOS (Access to location, storage, Bluetooth).
• 🌐 If you use Google Fit, make sure it shows up-to-date data.

❌ Error "Device not supported": If Huawei Health issues this error when trying to add Xiaomi scales, it means that your model is not on the official list of compatible devices, in which case only the use of intermediaries (Google Fit or Health Sync) will help).

⚠️ Note: Some Huawei firmware (e.g., some Huawei firmware, EMUI 12 and below) may not have a Google Fit connection option. Update your smartphone firmware or use alternative methods.

Alternatives: manual data export

If automatic synchronization is not possible, you can export data from Mi Fit to Huawei Health manually.

📤 Exports from Mi Fit:

1. Open Mi Fit and go to the Profile section → Settings → Export of data.
2. Choose the format CSV or Excel.
3. Send the file to an email or save it to the cloud (like Google Drive).

📥 Imports to Huawei Health:

1. Open Huawei Health and go to Profile → Settings → Data import.
2. Select a file with data (supports.csv,.xlsx formats).
3. Confirm the import and wait for the processing.

⚠️ Restrictions on manual imports:
