Connecting your Withings Scale or Blood Pressure Monitor over Wifi/Bluetooth

If cellular connectivity is not reliable in your area, you can connect your device to your Wifi or Bluetooth via the Connect Assistant App. This is a free mobile application (available on iOS and Android) that helps you set up a Withings cellular device with WiFi or Bluetooth connectivity.

Note: This method should really only be used as a backup connection for people who reside in areas where cellular coverage isn't strong enough or reliable.

Instructions

Step 1: Download and install the app on your mobile device: iOS, Android

• If connecting via bluetooth, enable bluetooth on your phone before using the app
• If connecting via Wifi, make sure your smartphone is connected to 2.4Ghz WiFi

Step 2: Open the app, then under Connect your device tap Set up with your phone. Choose the device you want to set up.
