How to connect an Amazfit or Zepp device

If you wear an Amazfit watch (GTR, GTS, Bip, T-Rex, Cheetah, or any other Amazfit) or a Zepp watch, this guide is for you. They use the same companion app, called Zepp, on both iPhone and Android.

MigraineMe does not talk to Amazfit or Zepp directly. Instead, your watch sends data to the Zepp app, and the Zepp app sends it to your phone's main health app. MigraineMe reads it from there.

The steps are different on each phone.


On iPhone

Step 1: Make sure Zepp is sending data to Apple Health

  1. Open the Zepp app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap Profile at the bottom right.
  3. Tap Settings, then Apps.
  4. Tap Apple Health.
  5. Toggle on every category you want shared: sleep, heart rate, steps, workouts.
  6. Tap Allow when Apple Health asks for permission.

Step 2: Connect Apple Health inside MigraineMe

  1. Open MigraineMe.
  2. Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen.
  3. Tap Connections.
  4. Find the Apple Health card at the top.
  5. Tap Connect.

A permissions panel slides up.

  1. Tap Turn On All.
  2. Tap Allow.

The button now reads Connected.

Step 3: Wait a few minutes

Past data takes a few hours the first time. New data appears within minutes.


On Android

Step 1: Install Health Connect (if you do not have it)

  1. Open the Play Store.
  2. Search for Health Connect.
  3. Tap Install.
  4. Open it once after it installs.

If your phone says "Health Connect is already installed", skip this step.

Step 2: Make sure Zepp is sending data to Health Connect

  1. Open the Zepp app.
  2. Tap Profile at the bottom right.
  3. Tap Settings, then Third-party access (or Health Connect).
  4. Tap Health Connect.
  5. Tap Allow all on the Health Connect screen.

If you cannot find Health Connect in Zepp, make sure both apps are updated in the Play Store. Older versions of Zepp do not show this option.

Step 3: Connect Health Connect inside MigraineMe

  1. Open MigraineMe.
  2. Tap the gear icon in the top-left of the screen, then Connections.
  3. Find the Health Connect card.
  4. Tap Connect.
  5. Tap Allow all, then Done.

The button now reads Connected.

Step 4: Wait a few minutes

Past data takes a few hours the first time. New data appears within minutes.


Troubleshooting

"Connected but no data"

The chain has three links: watch, Zepp app, your phone's health app. Check each one:

  1. Open the Zepp app and confirm today's data is there.
  2. On iPhone, open Health, tap Sources, and look for Zepp.
  3. On Android, open Health Connect, tap Data and access, and confirm Zepp is listed.

If a step fails, walk back through Step 1 above.

"Sleep is missing"

Amazfit and Zepp watches need to be worn through the night with automatic sleep detection turned on in the watch's settings inside the Zepp app.

"Heart rate gaps"

The Zepp app has a setting called Continuous heart rate monitoring. The default is often off to save battery. Open the Zepp app, tap your watch, tap Health monitoring, and switch it on.

"I use the old Mi Fit app"

Older Amazfit watches used the Mi Fit app. Mi Fit was renamed to Zepp Life, and most newer Amazfit watches use the Zepp app instead. If you are on Mi Fit or Zepp Life, the steps are similar but the menus may be in slightly different places. Look for Apple Health or Health Connect in the Settings menu.
