CVS BF720

Is that the same as the Beurer BF720? They look similar, but not exactly the same. And might use a different app.

Well, I’ll find out tomorrow, if it works with openScale. Too tired to mess with it tonight.

And if it doesn’t, I’ll probably just manually enter the weight.

I paid $25 at my local CVS.

Likely the same thing, the app name for it is slightly different in the US apparently.

beurer HealthCoach, this may be the only one I can locally buy at a store that might work with openScale then.

The other scale wasn’t working, and the batteries seemed to have a charge. And never put any batteries in it, different ones, or same ones. Don’t know if it works or not. Too late to try, and don’t care.

Update

It works, nice. Wanted a new scale that works with an open source app after all. Took 30 minutes or so to get it working with the app.

You need to make a profile. And setting the app up correctly will save you time. Enter the wrong consent code. Might as well force close app, as that’s how good Android is, and then clear all the data.

I deleted the database first. But instead of force closing and reopening, I just cleared all it’s data as well. Still showed my user, couldn’t add my user.

Can’t seem to change the consent code, which is basically the PIN code. Don’t ask me if the profile is setup right, I didn’t read much of anything. I just click set on some stuff, except for the obvious stuff, like my birth year. The time when first setting it up. The year when first setting it up. And my height.

Didn’t even read the PIN on the scale either the first time. Didn’t notice the thing that asks for the PIN, until I clicked pair at some point in the right order. Might need to setup a profile after setting the time to get that to show up as well. Well I finally found the PIN, and then was fucking with the app for a while.

Might have lost weight. No idea, the last weight I know, I had clothes on. How much do my clothes weigh? No idea. Too lazy to weigh again with my clothes on.

Also, I’ll be getting weighed soon anyways with my clothes on. Though I do wonder, would they care if I just take all my clothes off? It’s in a hallway basically.

They might say “You can leave your clothes on”. But my clothes means an inaccurate result, as far as I know.
