Veryfitpro's Auto Sleep Tracking: How Does It Work?

The VeryFitPro app can be used with a fitness band to track sleep and heart rate data. However, some users have reported issues with the app not syncing sleep data with GoogleFit. This issue has been observed across various phone models, and potential fixes such as restarting the phone and reinstalling the app have not resolved it. While the exact cause of this problem is unclear, it may be related to the app itself or its compatibility with specific phone models.

VeryFitPro sync issues with GoogleFit

The VeryFitPro app allows users to "connect" the app with their Google Fit account. However, several users have reported issues with syncing their data to their Google Fit account. One user reported that the toggle for Google Fit lights up for "on" but then immediately turns off. Another user noted that the VeryFit app does not send data to Google Fit consistently or automatically. To ensure that data is synced, users must open the Google Fit app and sync at the end of the day.

To sync data from VeryFitPro to Google Fit, users can follow these steps:

• Open the VeryFitPro app.
• Go to the "User" tab.
• Select the "Sync Now" option to upload data to Google Fit.

It is important to note that some users have suggested that the sync issues may be related to permissions. Users should ensure that they have granted the necessary permissions for the app to access their data. This can include enabling permissions for Body Sensors, which has been reported to fix sync issues for some users.

Additionally, it is recommended to check the tightness of the device as a loose connection may impact the accuracy of the heart rate data, which is used for sleep tracking.

How to activate sleep tracking

Sleep tracking is an important feature of fitness trackers, as it provides insights into sleep quality, which is essential for overall health and happiness. While some trackers automatically detect sleep, others require manual activation of sleep mode. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to activate sleep tracking on your VeryFitPro device:

Step 1: Check Device Settings

Firstly, ensure your VeryFitPro device is set up correctly and synced with its companion app on your smartphone. Check the app settings to confirm that sleep tracking is enabled and that necessary permissions, such as body sensor permissions, are granted. This is often the simplest solution to ensure sleep tracking is activated.

Step 2: Check Device Fit

If your tracker is set up correctly, the next step is to ensure a proper fit. Since sleep tracking often relies on heart rate monitoring, a secure fit is crucial. Adjust the tracker's band to ensure it is snug but comfortable. This helps maintain consistent contact with your skin, allowing the sensors to accurately detect your heart rate and, subsequently, your sleep patterns.

Step 3: Activate Sleep Mode

If your VeryFitPro device requires manual activation of sleep mode, you can do so by interacting with the device's button(s). The specific process may vary depending on your device model, but here are some general steps:

• Press and hold the button: On some devices, pressing and holding the button for a few seconds will toggle between active mode and sleep mode.
• Quick taps: Alternatively, some devices may require a series of quick taps (about 2-3 seconds apart) to activate sleep mode.
• Sliding gesture: In certain devices, you may need to press the button multiple times until a heart and a crescent moon icon appear. Then, touch the moon icon and slide your finger left to activate sleep mode.

Step 4: Confirm Sleep Mode Activation

Once you've followed the steps to activate sleep mode, confirm that it has been successfully activated. Usually, visual and/or haptic cues indicate that your device is in sleep mode. These may include a status light or screen displaying a moon icon, dimming lights, or vibrations.

Step 5: Exit Sleep Mode

To exit sleep mode, simply repeat the process outlined in Step 3. Hold down the button again until the active-mode light (often a green, flower-like symbol) appears, or perform the sliding gesture to turn it off.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully activate sleep tracking on your VeryFitPro device. Remember to refer to your device's user manual or seek support from the official VeryFitPro website or community forums for model-specific instructions.

Sleep tracking with other fitness trackers

Sleep tracking is a common feature of many fitness trackers, and they can provide insights into your sleep patterns and quality. Some trackers automatically detect when you fall asleep and wake up, while others require you to manually activate a sleep mode. Here are some examples of sleep tracking with fitness trackers other than VeryFitPro:

Withings Pulse O2

The Withings Pulse O2 is a fitness tracker that can also monitor your sleep. It has a sleep mode that you need to activate manually before going to bed. The device will then track your sleep duration, the number of times you wake up, and your overall sleep quality.

Misfit Shine

The Misfit Shine is a versatile fitness tracker that can monitor activities like cycling and swimming. It can also be used for sleep tracking, automatically detecting when you fall asleep and when you wake up.

Nike+ Fuelband SE

The newer Nike+ Fuelband SE includes sleep tracking capabilities. To track your sleep, you need to manually start a "session" by holding down a button until the display shows "START." Press the button again to begin tracking.

Oura Ring

The Oura Ring is a stylish and lightweight sleep and fitness tracker. It offers insights into your sleep patterns, heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen levels, body temperature, stress levels, and more. The Oura Ring can be integrated with apps like Apple Health, Strava, and Google Fit.

Samsung Galaxy Ring

The Samsung Galaxy Ring is another ring-style sleep and fitness tracker. It measures heart rate, snoring, energy, blood oxygen, stress, skin temperature, menstrual cycle, activity, and sleep performance. It offers additional features like snore detection and gesture compatibility.

Google Pixel Watch 2

The Google Pixel Watch 2 is a lightweight smartwatch with improved sleep and stress tracking features. It integrates with Fitbit, offering nightly trends, a silent alarm, bedtime reminders, sleep goals, and more. It also provides accurate heart rate and GPS tracking.

Manually adding sleep data

The VeryFitPro app is used on iOS and Android to link, control and view statistics from a wide array of Activity Tracker bracelets. While the app is designed to automatically track sleep, some users have reported issues with this function.

If you are having trouble with the automatic sleep tracking feature, you can try manually adding sleep data by following these steps:

• Ensure that your device is properly synced and connected to the app. Check your permissions and turn on body sensor permissions if necessary.
• Confirm that your device is fitted securely and is not too loose, as this may affect the heart rate monitoring feature used for sleep tracking.
• Set an alarm, as the app may use this to determine your sleep and wake times.
• If the above steps do not work, you may need to manually set the sleep tracking period. While some sources suggest setting this from 12:00 am to 11:59 pm, it is unclear how to do this through the app.

It is important to note that the above steps are based on user suggestions and may not guarantee the desired outcome. The official VeryFitPro support or community pages may offer more tailored advice for your specific device and app version.

Troubleshooting sleep tracking issues

Firstly, check your device's settings to ensure that sleep tracking is activated. On some devices, you may need to manually switch to sleep mode by pressing and holding a specific button until the status light changes to a moon symbol, or the display says "Good night!"

If your device is set up correctly but still not tracking your sleep, try restarting your device. For example, if you're using a Fitbit, try restarting it 2-3 times in a row, as suggested by a community moderator on their forums. You can also try re-syncing your tracker multiple times to see if the sleep data appears with a delay.

In the case of VeryFitPro not syncing sleep data with GoogleFit, as reported by some users, you could try troubleshooting steps such as restarting your phone, clearing the cache, or reinstalling the VeryFitPro app.

Additionally, ensure that your device is fitting snugly on your wrist. A loose device may lose connection and fail to track your sleep due to an inaccurate heart rate reading.

Finally, check your app permissions. On some devices, you may need to turn on body sensor permissions for sleep tracking to function.

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve most sleep tracking issues with VeryFitPro.
