How to connect Xiaomi scales to Huawei Health: full instruction with solutions to problems

Introduction: Why synchronize Xiaomi and Huawei?

Xiaomi’s smart scales (such as the Mi Body Composition Scale 2 or Xiaomi Smart Scale 3) are originally designed to work with the proprietary Mi Fit app (now Zepp Life). However, many users prefer the Huawei ecosystem — especially the owners of Huawei or Honor smartphones, where Huawei Health is integrated at the system level.

The answer is yes, but with reservations. There is no official support for direct synchronization, but there are workarounds, from manual data entry to third-party services like Google Fit or Apple Health (for iOS), in this article, we will examine all the working methods, from the simplest to the most technically complex, and also describe which Xiaomi scale models are best tamed in the Huawei ecosystem.

⚠️ Important: Before you start setting up, make sure your Xiaomi scales are updated to the latest firmware version.Outdated software can block connection to third-party applications» → «Firmware update»).

Xiaomi Health and Huawei Health Weight Compatibility: Which Models Are Supported?

Not all Xiaomi smart scales sync equally well with Huawei Health.Here is a compatibility table based on user tests and technical specifications:

If your model didn’t make it to the table, check it on the official Xiaomi website in the “Compatible devices” section. Also, it is worth considering that Huawei Health often updates support for new gadgets, so periodically check for app updates in AppGallery or Google Play.

💡 Tip: If you’re just planning to buy scales, opt for Bluetooth 5.0-enabled models (like the Xiaomi Smart Scale 3) that connect to third-party apps more easily thanks to the improved communication protocol.

Method 1: Direct Bluetooth connection (for supported models)

This is the most reliable method, but it only works with a limited list of devices (see the table above).If your Xiaomi scales are in it, follow the instructions:

1. Open the Huawei Health app on your smartphone and go to Devices → Add the device.
2. Select Libra category and wait for the app to start searching.
3. Turn on Xiaomi scales (click on them with your foot or the on button if you have one). Make sure that the screen displays 0.0 - this means that the device is ready to pair.
4. In the list of found devices, select your model (can be displayed as MI_SCALE or Xiaomi_XXXX).
5. Confirm your connection in both apps (on scales and in Huawei Health).

⚠️ Note: If the scales are not displayed in the list, try:

• 🔄 Reboot Bluetooth on your smartphone (disable/enable in settings).
• 📱 Update Huawei Health to the latest version.
• 🔋 Reset the scales to factory settings (click the power button for 10 seconds).

Critical detail: Some Xiaomi models (such as Smart Scale 3) can first connect to Huawei Health as an “unidentified device,” in which case you will have to manually select the type of gadget in the application settings (path: Profile → My devices → Edit → Device Type → Libra).

Method 2: Sync with Google Fit or Apple Health

If the direct connection is not working, use an intermediate service. This method is universal, but requires additional steps:

For Android (via Google Fit):

1. Install the Zepp Life (formerly Mi Fit) and Google Fit apps.
2. In Zepp Life, connect Xiaomi scales (if you haven’t already).
3. Go to Profile → Settings → Data Sync and activate the Google Fit option.
4. In Huawei Health, open Profile → Settings → Data Management → Data Import and select Google Fit.

For iOS (via Apple Health):

1. Put the scales on Zepp Life.
2. In the application settings, activate synchronization with Apple Health (Related Apps section).
3. At Huawei Health, import data from Apple Health (path: Profile → Settings → Health Data → Import).

⚠️ Note: data can be duplicated or transmitted with a delay of up to 24 hours, and Huawei Health sometimes ignores individual metrics (such as bone mass or water level), leaving only weight and weight. IMD.

🔹 Alternatively, if syncing through Google Fit is unstable, try the Health Sync app (available on Google Play), which allows you to manually transfer data between services, but requires a premium subscription to automatically update.

Method 3: Manually Adding Data to Huawei Health

If the automatic methods don’t work, the most time-consuming but reliable way is to enter the metrics manually, which is true for owners of outdated weight models (for example, Mi Scale 1) or those who do not want to link accounts.

Instructions:

1. Weigh yourself on Xiaomi scales and write down all the metrics (weight, IMD, fat percentage, etc.).
2. Open Huawei Health and go to Health → Weight.
3. Click on the icon + (add entry) in the upper right corner.
4. Enter the date, time and all the saved metrics. Use the CH:MM format (e.g. 07:30) for accuracy.
5. Save the tape.

📌 Useful Lifehack: To speed up the process, create a template in Google Tables or Excel with formulas for automatic calculation IMD formula:

= WEIGHT(kg) / (GROUP(m)^2)

Then just copy the finished values to Huawei Health.

💡

If you enter data retrospectively (e.g., last week), Huawei Health will only plot the weight dynamics after adding at least 3-4 entries.

Solving common connection errors

Even when following the instructions, users face problems, and we will discuss the most common ways to eliminate them:

1.Libra is not in Huawei Health

• 🔌 Bluetooth problem: Make sure your smartphone has Visibility Mode on for other devices (in Bluetooth settings).
• 🔄 Application Conflict: Close Zepp Life before connecting – sometimes it blocks other programs from accessing weights.
• 📱 Outdated OS: Android 8.0 and below smartphones may have problems.

2. the data is not fully transmitted

If Huawei Health displays only weight and no other metrics (fat, muscle, water) are available:

• 🔧 Check your sync settings in Zepp Life – Advanced data transfer may be disabled.
• 📊 Try resetting the cache of the Huawei Health app (in phone settings: Apps) → Huawei Health → Memory. → Clear the cache).

3.The scales are connected but immediately disconnected

This is a common mistake for models with a weak battery.

• 🔋 Replace batteries (even if the indicator shows charge).
• 📶 Move the scales closer to the router – sometimes a weak Wi-Fi signal interferes with a stable Bluetooth connection.

💡

If none of these methods worked, check to see if the antivirus or power saving mode on your smartphone blocks Huawei Health’s Bluetooth access.

Alternative applications for synchronization

If the standard methods don't work, consider third-party solutions. They're paid, but they offer flexible customizations:

💰 Savings tip: Before buying a premium version, check if the app has a free trial period. For example, Health Sync gives 7 days to test all features.

⚠️ Warning: Avoid apps with suspiciously low ratings or no reviews. Some of them may steal data or show annoying ads.
