How to tie Xiaomi scales to Huawei Health: a complete guide to error solutions

Why Xiaomi doesn’t want to be friends with Huawei Health?

Xiaomi’s smart scales and Huawei Health ecosystem are two popular health monitoring solutions, but their compatibility is often questionable: users are faced with a problem: the app refuses to detect the device, data is not synchronized, or the connection is constantly reset. The reason lies in different data exchange protocols and limitations of manufacturers who initially focus their devices on their own ecosystems (Mi Fit for Xiaomi and Huawei Health for gadgets). Huawei/Honor).

However, there are workarounds, from official integrations through third-party services to manual data export methods. In this article, we will discuss all working methods of synchronization, including nuances for specific weight models (Mi Body Composition Scale 2, Xiaomi Smart Scale 2) and versions of the Huawei Health application.

Before you go to the instructions, check two key points:

• 🔹 Weight model: not all Xiaomi devices are compatible with Huawei Health.For example, Mi Smart Scale 1 performs worse than Scale 2.
• 🔹 Firmware version: Update the scales through Mi Fit to the latest version – this increases the chances of a successful binding.

Official synchronization methods: what Xiaomi and Huawei offer

To date, there is no direct official support for Xiaomi’s weights in Huawei Health, but both companies provide indirect tools for sharing data:

1. Exporting through Google Fit: the most reliable method, Libra sends data to Mi Fit, then to Google Fit, and from there to Huawei Health.
2. Huawei HiLink: Suitable for some smart device models, but Xiaomi scales are not included in the list of supported devices.
3. Third-party apps, such as Health Sync (Android) or Apple Health (for iOS) can act as intermediaries.

Let's look at each method in more detail.

Method 1: Synchronization with Google Fit

This is the most versatile and stable variant, running on most Xiaomi scales.

Install Mi Fit and Google Fit apps|Connect the scales to Mi Fit and perform the weighing|In Mi Fit, activate synchronization with Google Fit (Settings) → Accounts → Google Fit)|Install Huawei Health and connect it to Google Fit (Profile) → Settings → Accounts → Google Fit)|Wait for automatic synchronization (can take up to 24 hours)-->

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

• 🔄 Permissions: In Android Settings, Give Google Fit and Huawei Health Access to Physical Activity and Health.
• 📱 Application Version: Update Mi Fit to 4.6.0 or later – older versions don’t have stable synchronization.

Method 2: Intermediary Applications (Health Sync, SyncSolver)

If Google Fit is not suitable (for example, due to regional restrictions), use specialized utilities.

To set up Health Sync:

1. Install the application and give all the permissions requested.
2. In the Source section, select Mi Fit.
3. Please enter Huawei Health in your appointment.
4. Press Sync and wait until the process is complete (may take 5-10 minutes).

💡

If Health Sync doesn’t see the Mi Fit data, try weighing again – sometimes an app needs “fresh” metrics for the first synchronization.

Manual data export: if automation doesn't work

In cases where neither Google Fit nor third-party apps help, manual export is left, which takes longer, but guarantees data transfer.

• 📄 File with data from Mi Fit (exported in.csv or.xml format).
• 🖥️ Computer or smartphone with support for file editing.
• 📲 Huawei Health with import function (not available in all regions).

Instructions:

1. In Mi Fit, go to Profile → Settings → Export data and save the file to the device.
2. Open the file in a text editor (such as Excel or Google Sheets) and leave only the necessary columns: Date, Weight, Fat Percentage.
3. Save the file in.csv format with a comma separator.
4. In Huawei Health, select Devices → Add Manual → Data Import and upload the file.

⚠️ Note: when manually importing, Huawei Health may not take into account historical data older than 3 months.To avoid loss of information, export data from Mi Fit regularly (for example, once a month).

Solving common connection errors

Even with the right setup, users face problems. Here's the top-5 errors and ways of eliminating them:

If none of the methods worked, try to lose weights to factory settings:

1. Hold the button on the scales for 10 seconds until the indicator goes out.
2. Reconnect the scales via Mi Fit.
3. Try to sync with Huawei Health again.

💡

If Xiaomi scales were previously linked to another Mi Fit account, they must be untie via Settings → Devices → Delete. Otherwise, the new sync will be blocked.

Alternative solutions: if nothing helps

If standard methods don’t work, consider non-obvious options:

• 🌐 Changing Region to Huawei Health: Some features (e.g. data import) are only available to users from China or Europe.To change region: Go to Profile → Settings → Region: Select China (required) VPN, If you're not in China, restart the app.
• 📊 Using the web version of Huawei Health: upload data to Google Sheets and then manually enter it through the browser version of Huawei Health (health.huawei.com).
• 🔧 Scale firmware: Fans are developing custom firmware for Xiaomi Scale 2 that adds support for Huawei Health.This method is not officially supported and may void the warranty.
