Hey everyone!
I’m looking to develop Gym Equipment that is compatible with Samsung Health. I noticed that my Galaxy Watch stores some data in its NFC tag, and when it gets close to a reader (like my phone), it sends data via NFC. Also, Samsung Health on the watch displays a message saying it is trying to connect to a gym device. This suggests that such integration is possible, but I couldn’t find any official documentation.
Has anyone here worked on something similar? My goal is to program an ESP32 to:
Connect to the watch via NFC or BLE
Automatically start a workout in Samsung Health
Send workout data to the watch
Receive real-time data, such as heart rate
My main question is: Would ESP32 + BLE module + NFC reader be enough for this, or would I need an Android-based device (like an embedded tablet in the treadmill) to run the Samsung Health SDK?
If anyone has explored this kind of integration, I’d love to hear your insights! Thanks!
